AMTE Power Plc – ULTRA
Next-generation battery cell technology and application
The ULTRA project targets next-generation battery improvement at the cell level with the development, scale-up and commercialisation of AMTE Power’s innovative energy and power-dense battery cells to pre-production variants. The cells will include precision metal cell tabs developed by Avocet at a newly established UK centre of excellence. Magtec will integrate cells into a new energy-efficient battery and pack suitable for commercial electric vehicle platforms. The battery pack solution will be designed in conjunction with Petalite’s innovative rapid charging technology to benefit from reduced charging times.
The ULTRA project is focused on energy storage and energy management. Every consortium partner in the project is essential to the successful deployment of these UK-manufactured next-generation Li-ion cells, their raw materials, and downstream supply chain.
