Why?

How?

What?

• We believe that zero emissions technologies should be the “mainstream solution” to power transportation – not just an alternative.

• Globally, transportation is responsible for 24% of direct CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. Three quarters of this is from on-road vehicles – cars, trucks, buses and two- and three-wheelers. 1

• Electrifying trains and commercial vehicles contributes to a notable reduction of CO2 emissions, while also offering performance improvements, operational efficiencies and significant fuel and maintenance savings.

• We are one of the world’s leading providers of high-quality lithium-ion battery systems which are ideally suited to fulfill the requirements of all commercial vehicle and rail applications.

• Our goal is to build long-lasting partnerships with major stakeholders in the industry to further the electrification of transportation.

• We engineer and produce our own lithium-ion cells in our state-of-the-art European production facility.

• Safety is engineered into our solutions at all levels from cells to complete battery systems.

• Our industry leading cell cycle-life allows for long-lasting solutions that reduce the total cost of ownership.

Operation Modes

Zero Emission OperationLeclanché’s commercial vehicle battery systems power your fully electric vehicle.No emissions, no fuel consumption and quiet operation.

Strategic LoadingSwitch from diesel to electrical power for auxiliary power units: tipping, refuse compacting, crane load handling, refrig-erating and many other commercial vehicle and rail oper-ations at port, etc.

Peak Shaving«Shave» off oper-ational load peaks and re-use stored energy. Allow a diesel engine to perform an optimal constant average load. This improves effi-ciency and reduces vehicle’s wear and tear.

Regenerative EnergyStore and use ener-gy regenerated from different sources, such as workload handling or regener-ative braking, in full or hybrid-electric vehicles and cranes.

Hybrid TractionAchieve substantial fuel consumption savings by electrify-ing the drive-system for vehicles or trains.

• Improved operational efficiency• Lower running costs• Substantial maintenance savings – typically

50% lower than diesel vehicles

• Quiet, odorless and zero-emissions• Contributing to the transition towards

cleaner mobility solutions

Integrating a Leclanché battery system offers you a variety of significant benefits whether on fully-electric or hybrid trains and vehicles.

• At Leclanché, we pride ourselves on being in control of the entire battery system’s de-velopment process, from cell design and manufacturing to complete solutions which incorporate our own dedicated battery management systems.

• Our experienced R&D team strives contin-ually to develop cutting-edge, high energy

G/NMC & high power LTO lithium-ion cells, which also deliver class-leading cycle life.

• We are working to a clear roadmap that sees continual improvements to the perfor-mance of our cells.

• Based on our R&D technology roadmap we will be delivering cell energy densities of 680 Wh/litre by 2022.
