Volvo Penta batteries for SEETEL
Taiwan-based SEETEL New Energy has chosen Volvo Penta’s battery systems for energy storage to power its mobile fast-charging solutions in Asia Pacific with applications across industrial and urban sectors
Powered by Volvo Penta’s liquid-cooled battery systems for energy storage, SEETEL New Energy’s solutions can be designed to carry large amounts of installed energy, in demanding mobile energy applications. This enables reliable charging for high-power industrial applications like construction and mining, as well as emergency relief, remote medical support, and roadside EV assistance.
SEETEL and Volvo BESS for light trucks
The company will develop mobile BESS in 270kWh and 540kWh configurations, mounted on light trucks to serve as mobile fast-charging units or transportable containerized units for industrial use.
The relationship was facilitated through Volvo Penta’s long-standing Taiwanese dealer, JOU International, which supplies Volvo Penta-powered backup power gensets to SEETEL New Energy’s facilities. Building on this trust, SEETEL New Energy saw the potential of Penta’s battery systems for energy storage to diversify and strengthen its business.
Working with Volvo Penta opens new business opportunities for SEETEL New Energy, such as subscription-based mobile recharging in urban centers where BESS trucks can be dispatched to EV customers in cities with limited charging access.
SEETEL New Energy’s requirements called for solutions that are mobile, robust, and able to carry large amounts of installed energy safely. Leveraging the electromobility platform from the Volvo Group, Penta’s integration-ready battery systems, certified for mobility and tested with high IP-class protection, are designed for tough conditions—making them a strong fit for SEETEL New Energy’s mobile and industrial use.
