Lithium-ion batteries are widely accepted as the energy-storage norm and are expected to become the primary energy source as the world seeks to achieve decarbonisation targets in many areas, especially transport. Current Li-ion technology is not a one size fits all solution and many applications, such as rail, large haul mining trucks, construction vehicles and maritime have specific requirements in relation to charging times, life cycle, safety and increasingly, sustainability.

This talk will present the strategic significance of the programme, its approach to overcoming the key challenges faced in implementing digital technology across a multi operator / stakeholder landscape, the current status of the programme and future stages to realise the full benefits.
