Customers & Projects

We support our customers along the entire development process of batteries, battery components and assembly systems – from the initial concept through development and prototyping to series production and field service. Our many years of project experience have given us in-depth industry expertise in a wide range of applications. We have now supported over 100 customer projects.

The most important component of our project work is our project managers. With deep technical know-how in battery technology, you will lead our customer projects. You always think in terms of the overall application – in other words, far beyond the battery. This makes you a thinking partner for our customers in system design, commissioning and integration as well as in functional safety processes and methods in accordance with the standards relevant to the application.

Within our projects we use state-of-the-art tools like Siemens Polarion (requirement tracking), Altium Designer (assembly design), Gitlab (software development) and many more. In doing so, we are constantly developing our tool chain and processes as well as our products.

Project Phases & Collaboration

Starting with a first prototype in 4 to 6 weeks up to series support and field service we support all phases of development:

The Energiewende has three wheels, room for two people and weighs less than 500 kg. Those who ride TWIKE are different, more sporty, for example. Because he can support the drive with his own muscle power. Some pilots use the TWIKE to commute to work, others tour to the North Cape. With a range of over 600 km, the TWIKE is ready for anything.
