In partnership with the Chinese Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL), Pernambuco battery manufacturer Moura supplies lithium battery systems and their components for the new 100% electric trucks of Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus (VWCO).

Moura has already delivered over 240 sets that were assembled at its factory in Belo Jardim and finished in a cell at the Volkswagen Caminhes unit in Rezende. The project evolved from the 11-ton E-Delivery truck to a 14-ton model.

The battery manufacturer has bigger plans: it aims at the urban bus market, which should be a trend in the main Brazilian cities.

The battery uses Lithium, Iron and Phosphate (LFP) chemistry, which offers a longer lifespan and higher energy density, as well as ample capacity to support deep cycles (full recharges after complete discharges).
