Aston Martin Partners Britishvolt To Develop High-performance Batteries For Its EVs Set To Be Launched In 2025
Aston Martin partners with Britishvolt to develop high-performance batteries for its Electric Sports Cars from 2025.
Collaboration between the two targets new high-performance standards in electric vehicles.
Luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin seeks to create the most desirable ultra-luxury performance EV.
British luxury marque Aston Martin has announced a partnership with Britishvolt to develop a bespoke high-performance battery technology for its future fleet of Electric Sports Cars.
Aston Martin’s collaboration with Britishvolt, the UK’s foremost investor in lithium-ion battery cell technologies, further supports its plans to launch its first battery electric vehicle in 2025.
A joint research and development team from Aston Martin and Britishvolt will design, develop, and industrialise battery packs, including bespoke modules and a battery management system.
The two organisations will work together to maximise the capability of special cylindrical high performance cells being developed by Britishvolt for use in high-performance Aston Martin electric vehicles.
According to Aston Martin, all new product lines will have an electrified powertrain option by 2026, with a target for its core portfolio to be fully electrified by 2030.
Tobias Moers, Chief Executive Officer of Aston Martin Lagonda, said :
“We are proud to be partnering with a UK-based, low-carbon battery manufacturer as part of our ambition to be a leading sustainable ultra-luxury business, with a commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative Net-Zero standard.”
“This powerful collaboration combines Aston Martin’s 109 years of engineering mastery with the expertise of a fast-growing UK technology business.
Working together with Britishvolt, I believe we can create new technologies to power benchmark-setting Aston Martin electric cars that will match our reputation for high performance and ultra-luxury with the highest standards of sustainability.”
Orral Nadjari, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Britishvolt, said :
“For a prestigious marque such as Aston Martin, staying true to its world-renowned brand of ultra-luxury, high-performance vehicles, whilst transitioning to electrification, means insisting on customised, sustainable battery cell technology that pushes the boundaries of performance.
“Britishvolt is excited to be collaborating with Aston Martin, helping accelerate that switch to electrification – I believe we make formidable partners.
“This collaboration once again highlights the value of working hand-in-glove with customers to co-develop and manufacture tailored, sustainable, localised battery cells, allowing vehicle makers to deliver superior products. Technologies that reset the benchmarks.
“We are excited about the prospect of an all-electric Aston Martin powered by Britishvolt’s low carbon, sustainable battery cells. Collaboration like this is the only way forward for a successful energy transition.”
