Mahle and ProLogium work together to brging improved batteries to automakers

Automotive supplier Mahle and Taiwanese solid-state battery manufacturer ProLogium announced that they want to collaborate in order to develop more advanced thermal management systems for EV batteries. This should offer better performance when operating the vehicle, when charging it and also ensure that drivers have a safer experience.

According to Electrive, Mahle officials said that the goal of the collaboration is the development of highly efficient, dense and fast-charge-capable batteries that have a long operational lifetime. Engineers at the two companies will also look into how batteries age and what causes early failures in EV-grade cells.

Vincent Yang, CEO and founder of ProLogium Technology, said that "I believe ProLogium’s joint forces with Mahle propel the commercialization of reliable and efficient solid-state battery solutions that advance electric vehicles to the next level. With the collaboration, we are on track to achieve a net-zero future."

In June, ProLogium showcased a new type of solid-state battery for EVs, which has double the energy density, meaning that it can store twice as much power in a cell of a certain size and at the same time, it was able to reduce the weight and the number of individual cells that make up a battery pack for EVs.

ProLogium also plans to build a battery plant in France and this could be the company's first outside Taiwan. Mercedes-Benz and Vinfast are some of the companies that invested in ProLogium, who currently has a production capacity of 3 GW in its home country.
