Camel Group Sodium-Ion Battery Project With European Automaker

Camel Group Advances 12V Sodium-Ion Battery Development

Camel Group Co Ltd announced that its 12V sodium-ion battery business has been selected for a pre-development project with a major European automaker. Under the project, the two parties will conduct technology development and validation for the next-generation low-voltage battery technology pathway. Sodium-ion batteries offer potential advantages in resource availability, low-temperature performance, and safety, making the chemistry relevant to requirements associated with future low-voltage battery applications. The collaboration places Europe-related technical and regulatory requirements within the development and validation scope.

Project Focuses on Low-Temperature and Lifecycle Requirements

The project will conduct research and development and validation based on requirements associated with Europe’s low-temperature environment, battery regulations, resource security, and full life-cycle carbon footprint. These requirements are intended to guide the development of the sodium-ion battery technology for next-generation low-voltage applications. The focus reflects the technical considerations involved in evaluating an alternative battery chemistry under regional operating conditions and regulatory expectations. Through the project, Camel Group Co Ltd and the major European automaker will assess the technology against the specified development and validation requirements.

Camel Group Expands Its Low-Voltage Battery Portfolio

Camel Group Co Ltd has established a low-voltage battery portfolio covering conventional lead-acid, EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery), AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat), lithium-ion, and sodium-ion batteries. The company has also completed the engineering development of sodium-ion battery samples, providing a developed sample base for the newly selected pre-development project. The broader portfolio gives Camel Group experience across multiple low-voltage battery technologies while the sodium-ion program advances development toward technology validation. The project therefore builds on the company’s existing sodium-ion engineering work and its established low-voltage battery portfolio.
