Solaris ebuses will be powered by LFP-CTP batteries from CATL

Push EVs

Now, with cheap cobalt-free battery chemistries available, such as LFP (LiFePO4) and NIB (sodium-ion battery) there’s no reason why we still allow diesel buses to pollute the air that we all breathe. More info: [link]. Fuel types of new buses in Europe (2021): Diesel : 68,8 %. Electric : 10,6 %. Alternative fuels : 10,5 %.

CATL will soon mass produce LMFP batteries

Push EVs

Adding manganese to the popular LFP formula increases the voltage and energy density of the battery cells, without a noticeable cost increase, since manganese is particularly cheap. With LFP, LMFP, LNMO and sodium-ion we are starting to have plenty of cobalt-free battery chemistries to power the electric transportation revolution.
