HERO2 battery system
In short

HERO2 is IMPACT's European alternative to the industry-standard C-type battery. It is a standard-size LFP unit with a 275mm package height, offering two architectures (1S 195–350V or 2S 390–700V) and 45 kWh installed energy per unit. It is IP6K7-rated, ISO 26262 compliant, meets ECE R100.3/R10.07, is EU Battery Passport ready, and manufactured to IATF standards.

Why engineering teams choose HERO2

Four principles carried across every IMPACT battery system, regardless of chemistry or form factor.

Continuous technical improvement

Years of R&D and iterative field data feed every generation, so efficiency and cycle life keep climbing without changing the footprint.

Chemistry chosen for your case

No electrochemistry is treated as inherently superior. We match NMC, LFP or LTO to your duty cycle, budget and supply chain constraints.

Complete systems, not just packs

Every product ships as a fully functional plug-and-play system, engineered, integrated and tested by our own R&D centre from the ground up.

Built around your requirements

From initial spec alignment to aftersales support, the cooperation plan is scoped around your vehicle or machine platform, not a fixed catalogue part.

Where HERO2 fits

Segments this configuration is currently positioned for.

Trucks

Optimised for total cost of ownership: energy density and continuous discharge sized for route-based duty cycles and fast turnaround charging.

Buses

Engineered against R100.2 and weight-constrained installation envelopes, with the certification trail transit operators need for procurement.

Industrial

Rated for IP-protected stationary and off-highway deployment, with cycle life and BMS integration built for continuous industrial operation.

Frequently asked questions

What makes HERO2 different from UVES 4.0?

HERO2 is a European-made, standard C-type size LFP battery with a 275mm package height, offered in 1S (195–350V) or 2S (390–700V) architecture. It is a drop-in alternative to the industry-standard C-type form factor, not a mix-and-match platform.

Is HERO2 safety certified?

Yes. HERO2 is ISO 26262 compliant and meets ECE R100.3/R10.07, and is EU Battery Passport ready.

What ingress protection does HERO2 offer?

HERO2 is rated IP6K7, protecting against dust ingress and high-pressure water. This matters for exposed truck, bus and industrial installations.

How much energy does HERO2 store?

45 kWh installed per unit, in a standard C-type size footprint at 275mm height.
