Finland-based Proventia, which manufactures emissions-control systems for off-road machinery, has signed a letter of intent to develop lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery packs with Norwegian battery cell manufacturer Morrow Batteries for heavy-duty machinery.
Morrow has opened its first factory and expects to produce commercial batteries by the end of the year. The Morrow Cell Factory’s annual production capacity is 1 GWh. The company plans to build three modules at the site, each with a planned annual production capacity of 14 GWh.
Proventia will work with Morrow to develop systems for the off-road mobile machine market. The companies aim to supply pilot systems to customers during 2025 and start serial deliveries in 2026.
Proventia currently has battery systems based on lithium-titanate-oxide (LTO) technology and plans to expand its portfolio by adding LFP and lithium-nickel-manganese-oxide (LNMO-X) technologies in the future, all of which are suitable for the harsh conditions faced by heavy machinery.
“Morrow has demonstrated their technical expertise for battery cells and systems and a strong track record of ramping up development and production. Our future roadmap includes advanced cell technologies beyond LFP technology. The LFP packs we are developing today around the Morrow LFP cells will also be available with LNMO-X chemistry,” said Proventia CEO Jari Lotvonen.
