Webasto and Samsung SDI have announced their cooperation. A corresponding letter of intent provides for the production of high-voltage batteries for the commercial vehicle sector. 

The cooperation includes the development and delivery of a battery module from Samsung SDI. This is to be adapted and optimised to Webasto’s standard battery systems for commercial vehicles. The prismatic lithium-ion battery cells are designed to combine high energy density with good space utilization in a battery pack and can be assembled to create a battery system. 

"We are very pleased to be driving the development of high quality design-to-cost battery systems together with such a successful and qualified partner as Samsung SDI," explains Hartung Wilstermann, Executive Vice President of the E-Solutions & Services business unit of the Webasto Group. According to Webasto, the development of battery systems is one of several strategic extensions of its product portfolio.
