FORVIA HELLA has secured two major series production contracts for its EnergyCore automotive battery solutions from international vehicle manufacturers in Europe and the Americas.
The combined contract volume is in the mid-three-digit million-euro range, with series production scheduled to begin in December 2027 and spring 2028.
The contracts comprise two primary technologies:
- 3-in-1 High-Voltage Battery Management System: Integrates the Battery Management Unit, Cell Measurement Units, and Battery Junction Box into a single unit. Designed initially for full-hybrid vehicles, the architecture reduces component count, wiring, weight, and installation space.
- 48-Volt PowerPack: Combines a low-voltage DC/DC converter with a low-voltage battery management system for hybrid vehicle applications, supporting energy recuperation and engine-off coasting.
Prof. Dr. Peter Laier, CEO of FORVIA HELLA, said: “For us, these new series orders represent both a significant expansion of our portfolio as well as an important validation of FORVIA Group’s IGNITE strategy. They demonstrate that customers increasingly value highly integrated system solutions that reduce complexity while maintaining the flexibility needed to address different vehicle architectures and requirements. With our EnergyCore portfolio, we are combining our strong expertise in battery and power electronics into scalable system solutions that create clear value for automotive manufacturers.”
Jörg Weisgerber, Member of the Management Board responsible for Electronics at FORVIA HELLA, added: “For over 20 years, our customers have valued us as a reliable and technologically leading component supplier in the field of battery and power electronics. Building on this foundation, we are consistently expanding our portfolio. We deliver integrated solutions that reduce system complexity and the number of interfaces in the vehicle, while also lowering weight, space requirements and costs. Above all, we are making a significant contribution to actively shaping the transition toward affordable electrification.”
