British new truck manufacturer Tevva established a valuable partnership with global experts Ecobat for first-life battery management. According to Tevva, which has been recently testing its 7.5 ton hydrogen electric truck in England, the partnership starts with 12-month pilot for battery handling and repair with opportunity to expand into repurposing and recycling. Additionally, Tevva’s 7.5 ton battery-electric truck has recently entered mass production at the company’s London facility.

In the unlikely case that an issue arises during vehicle life, Ecobat will ensure Tevva’s in-house assembled lithium-ion batteries are handled, diagnosed and repaired using the most effective and environmentally friendly methods.

“Ecobat is thrilled to partner with a company like Tevva, one that’s committed to efficient, effective and sustainable resource management, to extend the lifecycle of their lithium-ion batteries,” added Tom Seward, EU Key Accounts Director at Ecobat. “Working with pioneers like Tevva to support their battery management gives Ecobat the opportunity to expand its lithium-ion recycling footprint and further the circular energy economy”.
