Under the terms of the development agreement, A123 will provide 20Ah prismatic cells to ATBS for the production of complete lithium ion battery packs for Geely’s new PHEV.
The PHEV is expected to launch in China in 2014.
Zhejiang Geely Automobile Research Institute vice president You Yi said the Institute believes the technology is ideally suited to power its new PHEV.
A123 said its 20Ah prismatic cells are designed to deliver high power, increased safety, extended life and a higher usable energy over a wider state-of-charge, enabling Geely to optimize the efficiency of its design and maximize vehicle range.
A123 is a developer and manufacturer of advanced Nanophosphate lithium iron phosphate batteries and systems.
