Forsee Power (FR0014005SB3 – FORSE), expert in smart
battery systems for sustainable electromobility, announces that
Toyota has chosen to equip its innovative last-one-mile vehicles
with Forsee Power battery systems to enable zero-emission transport
during the major worldwide sport event in Paris in the summer
2024.
Toyota’s Accessible People Mover (APM) will transfer athletes as
well as goods in an easy and zero-emission manner. The vehicles
will incorporate ZEN 8 SLIM, a versatile and ultra-thin battery
developed by Forsee Power engineers for the off-highway market.
APM by Toyota: a 100%-electric Mobility for All solution
specially designed for international events
APM was specifically designed by Toyota to offer a safe and
efficient mobility solution to athletes and officials during the
major sport event in Tokyo, Japan in 2020.
The electric shuttle will again be at the heart of the transport
solutions during the next sports event in Paris to ease mobility
for all within the sports sites. It can embark 6 persons including
the driver and have been designed for very flexible use. The
foldable seats enable the transport of people in wheelchairs. The
vehicle is also available in a relief version, developed to provide
medical assistance, enabling the transport of a stretcher and
medical staff.
ZEN 8 SLIM enables the electrification of off-highway
vehicles in complete autonomy
Toyota chose FORSEE ZEN 8 SLIM, combining two 8 kWh battery
packs that will allow the vehicles to operate autonomously with a
100km range.
ZEN 8 SLIM has been designed to electrify off-highway and light
vehicles in a 100%-battery mode. The batteries are only 128 mm
thick and can be integrated both vertically and horizontally. ZEN 8
SLIM is very modular and scalable: it is possible to install up to
32 modules in series and in parallel, supporting a multitude of
combinations ranging from 48 V/8 kWh to 800 V/250 kWh, with future
upgrades up to 800V/1.2MWh. To perfectly adapt the on-board energy
to the system voltage, it integrates 48V and 72V modules as well as
a 48V pack with its own integrated BMS.
ZEN 8 SLIM batteries offer an excellent energy density of 251
Wh/L – among the best on the market – to ensure all-day operations
in one single charge. Opportunity charging is also possible with up
to 1C charging compatibility that can charge the battery to 100% in
just one hour. Total cost of ownership and robustness are essential
in the off-highway market segment, which is why Forsee Power has
made sure to offer a product with a very long life of 5,000 cycles,
and IP67 certified for resistance to air and water.
Toyota plans to produce 250 vehicles in January 2024 for the
major sport event to take place in Paris next summer.
