We are a US-based Fortune 100 company, serving customers around the globe, and committed to sustainability, particularly in heavy-duty sectors such as construction, mining, and transportation. Recognizing that these industries have significantly higher energy demands than conventional vehicles, we have embraced electrification, alternative fuels, and integrated digital solutions to drive efficiency and reduce environmental impact in energy-intensive operations.
One area of innovation is in the electrification of heavy-duty equipment, particularly through advancements in energy storage and transfer. Heavy-duty vehicles like trucks, construction machinery, locomotives, and mining equipment require large amounts of power for extended periods. However, current battery technology struggles with balancing energy density (how much energy the battery can store), power output, and the physical size and weight of the batteries.
By advancing energy storage and transfer technologies, heavy-duty electric vehicles could pave the way for more sustainable, efficient operations across industries, even in the toughest environments.
We are looking for mobile, compact, high-power electric storage systems and wireless fast-charging technology to enhance efficiency and reduce downtime in operations with heavy-duty electric vehicles. We seek groundbreaking technologies that improve battery energy density, power output, thermal management, durability, and wireless charging speed, while maintaining or enhancing payload capacity.
