The project objectives were to produce lightweight, low cost battery packs designed specifically for volume manufacturing. A whole life planning approach was adopted so that waste reduction could be achieved by designing the battery packs for disassembly and remanufacturing.

Cenex managed the battery test and validation, including development of a range of real-world battery test cycles. This was initiated to ensure the new project battery design was tested within a performance envelope, representative of conditions during in-service operation. Additionally, Cenex used their in-house fleet performance modelling software (Fleet Carbon Reduction Tool) to calculate the CO₂ and total cost of ownership implications of using the new battery pack design in an operational fleet of electric vehicles.
