Polish battery provider BMZ<\/strong> has entered a partnership with Kiepe Electric<\/strong> focusing on the US market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joint efforts involving the Kiepe Electric and BMZ teams in the US and Poland “created a proposal not only tailored for the vehicle itself but also the meeting the performance parameters required by King County Metro, which provides transit service to the city of Seattle, WA, and 34 other cities”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiepe upgrading trolleybuses in Seattle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last year, King County Metro\u00a0in Seattle, Washington has ordered a major\u00a0battery and battery charger upgrade for up to 170 electric trolleybuses<\/a>, which are charged while in motion, to supplier\u00a0Kiepe. It’s easy to assume that this order involves BMZ as provider of battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnershp marks BMZ’s expansion in the e-mobility market segment in the USA. Several pilot buses are already in operation in the States of Washington and California, BMZ highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have customized our MAGNUS+ battery to facilitate its use in the Kiepe-specific offering in the United States<\/strong>. This great team effort translated into a unique solution for new-build buses as well as a drop-in replacement for retrofit applications\u2019 \u2013 said Pawe\u0142 K\u0119pski<\/strong>, Director of Business Unit EV of BMZ Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This pilot program is yet another strategic step of the BMZ Group to expand the company\u2019s US footprint in the EV market \u2013 shared Kai Sch\u00f6ffler<\/strong>, Managing Director of BMZ US Inc., adding that \u2013 BMZ\u2019s field service proven model is expected to deliver synergies in the heavy duty vehicle electrification business for BMZ Group customers in the North American region”. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
