Leading Taiwanese battery producer GUS Technology and California startup TYFAST have established a strategic alliance to jointly develop next-generation lithium-ion batteries based on vanadium.
This partnership uses lithium vanadium oxide (LVO) anode technology to provide previously unheard-of performance for trucking, mining, and heavy-duty construction applications. With energy densities of up to 200 Wh/kg, the new vanadium batteries handle over 10,000 charge-discharge cycles, provide 10x quicker charging, and reach a full charge in less than 10 minutes.
“Partnering with TYFAST accelerates our development of high-performance, safe, and scalable battery technologies,” stated Richard Hsu, Chief Strategy Officer and spokesperson for GUS Technology.
In addition to supporting the global energy transition and system resilience, the alliance seeks to build large-scale manufacturing capabilities in North America, guaranteeing a safe and robust regional supply chain.
“With GUS’s world-class manufacturing expertise, we’re bringing our LVO anode innovation to market at scale,” stated G.J. la O’, Co-Founder and CEO of TYFAST.
As the only leader in Taiwan for advanced lithium titanate (LTO) and high-nickel NCM811 technologies, GUS Technology is a battery cell and module inventor located in Taiwan. GUS Technology began full-scale manufacture of soft-pack lithium batteries in 2024 after completing its GWh-scale superfactory. Energy density, thermal resilience, quick charging, safety, and scalability are the six battery performance indicators that the Taiwan-based facility sets a new standard for.
GUS uses a smooth lab-to-fab business model to turn innovative research into high-performance, scalable battery manufacturing. The demanding requirements of E-buses, data centers, grid-scale storage, UAVs, and military-grade systems are all met by GUS’s technology. GUS has established reliable alliances with leading businesses in Australia, Singapore, Japan, and other countries.
GUS Technology is well-positioned to benefit from geopolitical changes and the need for localized essential supply chains as a result of the global push toward EVs and renewable storage. GUS reported consolidated sales of NT$179 million in the first four months of 2025, a 2.4x increase from the previous year. Although Taiwan continues to be its primary market, GUS’s global development is being fueled by growth in Norway and the UK.
With its own battery technology and production experience headquartered entirely in Taiwan, GUS stands apart in the face of growing trade tensions and the surge in demand for next-generation energy. GUS provides complete solutions from materials research to cell production and module integration, leveraging a foundry model inspired by TSMC to increase orders and establish new client relationships. This approach highlights GUS’s contribution to the global advancement of clean, resilient energy systems and drives scale-up at the Zhongli facility.
