KPIT Technologies, an independent software integration partner unveiled its sodium (Na)-ion battery technology. KPIT joined a small and elite group of sustainability-focused organisations worldwide that have developed sodium-ion-based battery technology.
The press release stated that the battery technology promises to reduce import dependency on core battery materials. It has several use-cases for automotive and mobility, especially for electric two and three-wheelers and commercial vehicles. It has promising applications in stationary deployments, such as UPS backups and grid storage, as well as in the marine and defence sectors.
Ravi Pandit, Co-founder and Chairman, KPIT Technologies commented, “Sustainability is at the heart of KPIT’s vision. We are working on multiple technologies to reimagine mobility and accelerate the push towards cleaner transportation. As the electric mobility ecosystem matured, we were cognizant of having alternate battery technologies and localising the storage value chain. Our Sodium-ion battery technology, completely reliant on Earth’s abundant raw materials, is another testament to KPIT’s commitment towards the sustainable mobility ecosystem. We look forward to partnering with manufacturing companies to commercialise this technology globally”.
