SEOUL, September 17 (AJP) - LG Energy Solution will showcase its pouch-type, high-voltage Cell-to-Pack (CTP) battery with a mid-nickel composition at IAA Transportation 2024 in Hanover, starting Tuesday for a six-day run. 

The battery offers a maximum range of 600 kilometers for large trucks, making it suitable for long-distance travel. It can be charged up to 5,000 times before performance begins to decline.

These batteries have a nickel content of 40 to 60 percent and increased manganese for enhanced stability. High voltage boosts energy density, while lowering the proportion of costly nickel and cobalt reduces the overall cost.

CTP technology improves energy density, reduces battery weight and cost, and simplifies the process by integrating cells directly into the pack, eliminating the need for modules.

LG Energy Solution has also improved safety with a bottom venting system that increases pack rigidity and directs heat and gases out through vents if a cell catches fire, preventing internal spread.

Along with the CTP battery, the Korean firm will present a range of products and new innovations focused on the electric and hybrid vehicle markets. Global automotive firms, including Volvo and Ford, will also attend the Hanover event.

The IAA event alternates each year between two locations in Germany, with IAA Transportation in Hanover focusing on commercial vehicles and logistics and IAA Mobility in Munich centering on passenger vehicles.
