"We have listened, studied and understood the rapidly evolving needs of the passenger vehicle market and have developed a collaborative and flexible approach to designing and applying advanced battery technology to very specific vehicle needs."
At its booth, (Stand 64 10, Green Pavillon, Geneva Palexpo), Dow Kokam will feature multiple displays to demonstrate its cell technology and pack design that can be integrated into vehicles. The company will also display an interactive digital model of an entire Dow Kokam battery system in operation in a vehicle.
