INOVA+ supported the consortium led by Avesta Battery & Energy Engineering in the preparation and submission of the application to the Horizon Europe Program, having approved the EXTENDED project, whose mission is to design, develop and validate the next generation of battery pack systems that respond to the massification of electric mobility in the transport sector, among other applications.

Initiated in June 2023, the project is expected to run for 36 months with a total budget of approximately 4.9 million euros. INOVA+ plays a crucial role in supporting Avesta Battery & Energy Engineering in the project’s overall management and is responsible for the dissemination and communication activities as well as for the management of intellectual property.

Under the topic “Cross-sectoral solutions for the climate transition (HORIZON-CL5-2022-D2-01)” within pillar II ‘Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness- Cluster 5 Climate, Energy and Mobility research and innovation actions’”, the project aims to design, develop, and validate the next generation of battery pack systems to address the unmet demand for widespread adoption of electric vehicles and applications. The project aims to create efficient, lightweight, eco-designed, and multi-life battery pack systems with substantially reduced charging times. These systems are designed to achieve passenger car ranges beyond 500 km under normal driving conditions, optimized energy storage capacity, a lifetime of at least 300,000 km, and monitored by an advanced Battery Management System tailored for both first and second-life applications. The developed technologies and solutions will also be optimized for other applications such as stationery batteries.

The transport sector represents around 25% of the total CO2 emissions in the European Union. The electrification of transport and other applications are key for a climate neutral transition. Consequently, the development of innovative battery systems technologies that will significantly improve performance, safety, as well as environmental sustainability, and cost play a pivotal role in achieving a climate-neutral transport sector.

Coordinated by Avesta Battery & Energy Engineering, the EXTENDED project brings together a consortium of 19 organizations from 10 European countries. Partners include Avesta Battery & Energy Engineering, Company for Manufacturing trade and services Avesta Battery and Enerdzi Inzenering Dooel Import-Export Skopje, GVS Filter Technology, Fraunhofer IISB, Mondragon Unibertsitatea, TechConcepts B.V., BMZ Germany GmbH, CMT–Clean Mobility & Thermofluids (UPV), Bozankaya A.Ş., INEGI driving science & innovation, CEA-Liten, Flanders Make, IKERLAN, AKSOZ TECHNOLOGY Limited Company, Lumency BVBA, Siro Energy, INOVA+, SoliTek, Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt.
