An Onboard Energy Option
Of Up To 582 Kwh
The BP97E is a high-energy-density battery pack and is
the latest development in Accelera’s NMC battery platform.
Its single-pack storage capacity of up to 97 kWh makes it
an effective solution for weight-sensitive applications. Its
patented platform design and flexible mounting options
make integrating into many types of electric buses and
other applications simpler. Transit agencies can tailor the
energy level needed to serve their communities through
an onboard energy option of up to 582 kWh with a six-
pack battery configuration. This will ensure efficient and
reliable transportation for passengers while also promoting
sustainability.
Operate Throughout Europe
The city buses will be sold in Turkey, BMC’s domestic
market, and will operate throughout Europe. These buses
play a crucial role in large cities, which have high-capacity
demands. The project is already underway, with the BP97E
batteries expected to be delivered in the first half of 2024 and
the buses expected to be delivered to customers in 2025.
