2nd hEVen
Lead Participant:
FUTURE TRANSPORT SYSTEMS LIMITED
Abstract
Future Transport Systems, Jaguar Land Rover, Warwick University and Videre Global are collaborating on the
development of an energy storage system that takes advantage of 2nd life electric vehicle batteries. The 2nd
hEVen project will research and develop variations on Future Transport Systems' existing E-STOR energy
storage system identifying how it can use a range of 2nd life batteries of different types and states of
degradation. The collaboration will also research the economics and business cases associated with the use of
2nd life batteries. A key area of research in the project is the use of 2nd life battery storage systems in
developing countries and Videre Global, a specialist in smart grid systems in the developing world will assist in
determining and testing market requirements. Warwick University will undertake research into the use of 2nd
life battery module based systems. Ultimately the project will help accelerate development of the E-STOR
technology for high volume deployment.
