Universus — Battery Systems for Heavy-Duty Electrification

Why engineering teams choose Universus

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 Universus fits

Segments this configuration is currently positioned for.

Industrial

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

Municipal

Refuse collection and street sweepers running two-shift operation with depot top-up charging, on a 600V architecture built from the same pack family.

Off-highway & mining

Loaders and mining trucks on an 800V architecture, with frame-mounted installation and IP6K9K sealing for demanding environments.

Ground support

Pushback tractors and baggage tractors on a 400V architecture, sized for frequent-cycle airside operation.

Frequently asked questions

What is UNIVERSUS?

UNIVERSUS is a modular battery platform built from S and M pack building blocks instead of one rigid pack. Voltage is set by how many packs sit in series, capacity by how many packs and strings are used, so the same platform covers 400V, 600V and 800V architectures without a new battery project per vehicle.

What is the difference between the LFP and NMC variants?

Both share identical dimensions, mounting and interfaces. NMC packs a higher energy per pack — S 26.7 kWh vs LFP's 20.3 kWh — favoring volume- or mass-constrained platforms, while LFP suits high-cycle-count, long-duty-cycle applications such as municipal fleets and buses running multiple shifts.

What capacity range does UNIVERSUS cover?

A single string spans roughly 41–134 kWh depending on pack size, count and chemistry; stacking and stringing multiple packs scales system capacity up toward approximately 800 kWh.

When is UNIVERSUS available?

Samples for customer testing are planned for Q4 2027, with start of production targeted for Q1 2028.

Is the L-PACK available?

The L-PACK (670×1690×140mm) is available on demand. Released configurations use S and M packs; L-PACK requires direct alignment with Product Development before quotation.
