Dow Kokam, a large-format battery system producer, has signed two new agreements to provide lithium-ion battery solutions to power medium-duty plug-in hybrid electric and fully-electric trucks designated for fleet operations.


Dow Kokam's new projects with Motiv Power Systems and ZeroTruck will provide new electric vehicle options for flexible medium-duty truck designs.

Motiv Power Systems, an electric drive power control system provider, is converting a Class 4, Ford E-450 diesel chassis to a completely electric system for a passenger shuttle bus.

ZeroTruck, a developer and producer of commercial electric trucks, is producing fully-electric, Class 3-6 work vehicles based on the Isuzu N series chassis. The ZeroTruck can operate at full highway speeds with a 70-mile range in city driving. The Isuzu N series chassis design enables ZeroTruck to be modified for utility, dry freight, stake bed, tow, sweeper, and refuse body type applications.

Dow Kokam's large format batteries have undergone more than 1 million kilometers of rigorous, on-the-road testing. Dow Kokam technology has been used in industries such as transportation, marine, aerospace, defense and industrial products.
