El gigante chino de las bater\u00edas CATL acaba de firmar un acuerdo para suministrar a VDL Bus & Coach su sistema de bater\u00edas de alta densidad energ\u00e9tica basado en su plataforma de productos estandarizados LFP-CTP (Cell to Pack). Para el negocio de las PYME, CATL tambi\u00e9n ha nombrado a Quantron su socio autorizado de ventas y servicios para veh\u00edculos comerciales y aplicaciones industriales en Europa.<\/p>\n
En primer lugar al negocio de las PYME de CATL en Europa: Como importador, Quantron est\u00e1 ahora autorizado a suministrar bater\u00edas en Europa como distribuidor de CATL. La empresa alemana est\u00e1 especializada en la electrificaci\u00f3n de veh\u00edculos industriales y ahora es responsable de las ventas de bater\u00edas CATL y socio posventa para veh\u00edculos industriales y aplicaciones industriales. Quantron tambi\u00e9n confiar\u00e1 en las bater\u00edas CATL para sus propios retrofits en el futuro.<\/p>\n
Para ello, Quantron utilizar\u00e1 las soluciones estandarizadas de bater\u00edas CTP basadas en fosfato de hierro y litio de CATL. CTP significa \"cell to pack\" (c\u00e9lula a paquete) y se refiere a una tecnolog\u00eda de bater\u00edas que integra las c\u00e9lulas directamente en los paquetes de bater\u00edas, sin nivel de m\u00f3dulo. Esto permite a la empresa ofrecer \"una alta densidad energ\u00e9tica combinada con bajos costes y una alta sostenibilidad (sin cobalto) en los veh\u00edculos\", escribi\u00f3 Quantron en un comunicado de prensa.<\/p>\n
Quantron tambi\u00e9n va a adaptar las soluciones de bater\u00edas basadas en los componentes de bater\u00edas NMC de CATL a las necesidades de los clientes, producirlas en serie y luego entregarlas. Con ello, la empresa de transformaci\u00f3n pretende atraer sobre todo a las peque\u00f1as y medianas empresas, que a menudo s\u00f3lo tienen un peque\u00f1o volumen de compra. La joven empresa alemana afirma que cooperar\u00e1 con 700 talleres asociados en toda Europa para garantizar una red completa con servicio in situ para veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan CATL, su cooperaci\u00f3n con Quantron no pretende llegar a los grandes fabricantes de equipos originales: la empresa china seguir\u00e1 haciendo este negocio directamente. Se acaba de firmar un acuerdo de este tipo con el fabricante holand\u00e9s de autobuses VDL, uno de los tres principales fabricantes de autobuses el\u00e9ctricos de Europa, junto con la empresa polaca Solaris, que compiten en una liga con el rival chino de CATL en bater\u00edas, el gigante de los veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos y las bater\u00edas BYD.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The first electric buses from VDL Bus & Coach<\/a> with the new CATL battery system are expected to be launched in the Netherlands later this year. Neither company has revealed exactly which bus model(s) will receive the new batteries but did extrapolate that CATL will be supplying the Dutch bus manufacturer VDL with batteries from the LFP-CTP (Cell to Pack) product platform. CATL presented this cell-to-pack technology at the IAA last autumn.<\/a> What is novel about these systems is that the Chinese battery giant skips the intermediate step of the modules and insert the battery cells directly into the ready-to-install battery pack. Since this eliminates some of the module components, the CTP batteries have a higher energy density \u2013 CATL speaks of up to 160 Wh\/kg.<\/p>\n In comparison, the other two largest electric bus providers in Europe, BYD and Solaris, use their own battery systems: Solaris is using the newest \u201cSolaris High Energy +<\/a> batteries that are also characterised by a high energy density. These battery cells are installed in modules. The other big player in electric buses in Europe is BYD \u2013 in itself one of the world’s big battery makers, who not only supplies its own vehicles but offers its battery solutions to third parties as well. BYD claims it is the first company to fully industrialize the Iron-Phosphate battery<\/a> used in its electric buses.<\/p>\n But CATL has its eye on the rapidly growing European electric bus market. This is not only demonstrated by the VDL deal: last year CATL concluded a supply agreement with Daimler Trucks & Buses<\/a> for battery cell modules for electric trucks. However, VDL is up among the top three next to Solaris and BYD, whereas Daimler Trucks and Buses has woefully missed a timely market entry for battery-electric buses. Early last year, Daimler was only covering around 2 % of the electric bus market in Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n “CATL is committed to driving forward advanced energy innovations around the world. Providing highly efficient and reliable solutions for the electrification of commercial vehicles is a key element for the overall development of the e-mobility market,” said Li Xiaoning, Executive President of Commercial Vehicle Applications International. “CATL, VDL Bus & Coach and Quantron AG share the same commitment and passion for e-mobility”.<\/p>\n CATL should also be pleased about the additional major customer with VDL for another reason: Not surprisingly in the circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic, CATL’s profits in the 1st quarter fell by 29.14 per cent compared to the same period of the previous year, while revenues fell by 9.53 per cent.<\/p>\n prnewswire.com<\/a> (VDL – CATL), quantron.net<\/a> (PDF in German), gasgoo.com<\/a> (CATL profits)<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
