Hybridrive® Series Components

HybriDrive® Lithium-ion Energy Storage System (ESS)

BAE Systems HybriDrive® Energy Storage System (ESS) is based on lithium-ion nano-phosphate technology and uses an advanced battery module design to provide very high power and energy density in a compact, lightweight enclosure. The system delivers power during acceleration and peak power demands and accepts power (regenerative braking energy) during deceleration.

The use of lithium-ion technology enables the system to be substantially smaller and lighter than other energy storage options and unlike other technologies does not require air conditioning to cool the batteries. The significantly reduced system weight contributes to improved fuel economy, reduced brake wear and allows for greater weight capacity for passengers.

BAE Systems specifically uses a nano-phosphate version of lithium-ion chemistry for its thermal stability and the modular construction enables easy servicing.

ESS is available for both the HDS 200 and HDS 300 systems.
