Agility Fuel and Romeo Power Partner on Battery Packs for Commercial Vehicles

Agility Fuel Solutions, and Romeo Power Technology, announced a partnership for the production of high-performance, modular battery packs for commercial vehicles.

Here’s what’s new: Agility and Romeo have entered into an exclusive global agreement whereby Romeo will supply custom-designed battery modules to Agility for Class 4-8 vehicles.  Agility notes that it will use its extensive experience in onboard energy storage to integrate those modules into highly configurable battery packs for the wide range of battery capacities and physical configurations best suited to individual vehicles and applications in the global truck and bus markets.

Romeo battery modules and packs are, the company indicates, the lightest and most compact available, with the highest volumetric and gravimetric energy density on the market.  They take up less space than competing packs, feature enhanced state-of-charge and state-of-health monitoring, and are engineered to exceed stringent government safety requirements.

“We’re very excited about the partnership with Agility to supply modules on an exclusive basis for applications in the Class 4-8 commercial vehicle market,” said Romeo co-founder and CEO Mike Patterson. “With Agility’s extensive experience and commitment to excellence, we’ll provide the best-in-class solution for clean-air commercial fleets.”

“Successful electrification and hybridization of commercial vehicles will enable fleets to meet their emission and return on investment targets by taking advantage of the undeniable efficiency of electric drivetrains,” said Todd Sloan, Agility’s SVP – Innovation and New Business Development. “Our partnership with Romeo will leverage their best-in-class battery technology with Agility’s strengths in energy storage application engineering, commercial vehicle OEM program management and aftermarket support for dealers and fleets.”
