Battery management, Tevva to partner with global experts Ecobat

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.
