Making an essential stride toward automotive world, German automotive supplier MAHLE and Taiwanese battery connoisseur ProLogium are join forces. The progressive collaboration aims to engineer and appraise thermal management solutions designed for solid-state batteries, the subsequent leap in battery technology promising augmented safety standards and extensive vehicular ranges.
Solid-state cells, credited for their superior operational reliability and potent energy density, offer a marked improvement over traditional battery systems. Harnessing the unique attributes of these cells, the partnership endeavors to craft custom thermal management solutions. These efforts stand to yield battery systems of unparalleled efficiency, extensive energy density, longevity, and fast charging capabilities.
“I am convinced that the joining forces of ProLogium and MAHLE will drive the commercialization of reliable and efficient solid-state battery solutions and thus take electric vehicles to the next level. With this collaboration, we are well on our way to shaping a net-zero carbon future,” elucidated Vincent Yang, the trailblazing CEO and Founder of ProLogium Technology.
With MAHLE’s central competency lying within thermal management—a linchpin for e-mobility efficiency—this partnership stands on solid ground. Esteemed as a vanguard in battery cooling systems, MAHLE’s track record spans over a decade of successful series production. Building upon ProLogium’s innovative solid-state technology, MAHLE plans to analyze thermal needs at various stages—cell, cell module, battery pack, and entire vehicle system—for deriving prime thermal management solutions.
Performance, efficiency, and costs are vital components, yet the partnership also places immense value on assessing battery aging. The lifespan value of the battery remains a pivotal factor for electric vehicles’ integration into the mass market and the future second-hand market.
Dr. Uli Christian Blessing, the man at the helm of Thermal Management Development at MAHLE, stated, “The development of the first tailor-made thermal management solutions for solid-state batteries is a crucial step on the way to commercialization.”
With the introduction of ProLogium’s groundbreaking solid-state oxide lithium-ceramic battery, expectations for increased vehicular range, enhanced rapid charge capabilities, and improved battery recyclability are high. MAHLE, one of the rare entities with profound knowledge in both electrification and thermal management, has advanced technologies to bolster the range and rapid charging capability of electric vehicles, thereby enhancing their overall appeal.
This strategic fusion of expertise sets a pivotal precedent in battery technology development and paints a bright picture for the global automotive industry’s green transition.
