MegaFlux to boost the electrification of Mexican bus and truck fleets
Mexico will need roughly 400,000 electric buses over the next 20 years to renew its aging public-transport fleet. MegaFlux was created to bring Latin-American-born EV-mobility solutions in a region with few local manufacturers. The Mexico-based company designs and manufactures electric powertrains for heavy-duty and commercial vehicles. It builds fully electric trucks and buses and offers retrofit solutions that convert existing diesel vehicles into electric ones. Beyond vehicles, the company provides charging-infrastructure planning, installation, and energy-management services, positioning itself as a full-service electrification partner for fleets. MegaFlux also operates one of the country’s largest electric-motor and battery testing laboratories and works with clients on cost-benefit analysis, financing options, and long-term fleet support programs.
MegaFlux chose ZEN LFP to equip their powertrains sold to bus and truck OEMs as well as integrated into retrofitted projects.
ZEN LFP: a modular solution to electrify heavy vehicles with an excellent cycle life
ZEN LFP is a cost-efficient, high-energy lithium-ion LFP modular product line designed for the commercial vehicles market (bus, truck, off-highway). ZEN LFP batteries are available in two formats: 36 kWh and 55 kWh, hence offering a wide range of voltage and energy combinations to perfectly match power and energy requirements. The 2 different formats – combined with an excellent energy density of 240 Wh/L, and the ability to stack up to 2 modules – allow a multitude of integration possibilities to optimize all available space in the vehicle. A rail version of ZEN LFP is available.
Forsee Power’s safe and robust design complies with ISO 26262 ASIL-C and is compatible with numerous stringent industry standards (including R100-3, R10.6, AIS-038 rev.2, SAE J2464 and SAE J2929), ensuring the reliability and durability of the battery system. It is also compatible with the C-box LFP industry standard format for easy replacement, while being more compact, and able to provide up to 20% more power.
This new product line offers an exceptional life of up to 6,000 cycles and cost optimization related to LFP chemistry, hence providing a very low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to operators.
