Amplifii-2

A modular battery system developed for low-volume vehicles is being pushed toward production in four demonstrator vehicles—a Range Rover, a JCB excavator, an Ariel sports car, and an Alexander Dennis bus. The project addresses a gap in the electric vehicle market. High-volume carmakers can afford bespoke battery packs, but manufacturers of specialist vehicles—construction equipment, luxury cars, buses—need flexible, scalable architectures they can adapt without redesigning from scratch. The original AMPLiFII project proved the concept; this follow-on work turns that prototype into a product. If successful, the project will deliver a pilot production line at Delta Motorsport and a production-ready battery management system from Potenza and Trackwise. The battery system will gain 800-volt fast charging, location-based power control, advanced cooling, and a new cell format (21700). That means cleaner construction sites, quieter city buses, and high-performance electric sports cars—all using shared battery technology rather than one-off designs. The impact is on manufacturing supply chains and vehicle electrification for sectors that cannot simply buy off-the-shelf EV batteries.
