Germany's MAHLE & ProLogium Join Forces to Advance Solid-State Battery Technology

German automotive supplier MAHLE and the Taiwan-based battery manufacturer ProLogium have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for developing and evaluating thermal management solutions for next generation solid-state batteries. ProLogium’s oxide solid-state lithium ceramic battery are set to contribute to longer driving range, faster charging and better battery recyclability. 

Both parties will cooperate focusing on tailored thermal management solutions, which account for the specific properties of ProLogium’s technology.

This will support competitive battery systems with high efficiency, energy density, lifetime and fast charging capability. 

Solid-state cells are expected to have significant advantages in the future in terms of safety and energy density, which contribute to higher driving ranges and higher safety standards for battery systems. 

MAHLE has developed technologies that increase the cruising range and fast-charging capability of electric vehicles, as well as to bring more comfort to electric vehicles.

Arnd Franz, Chairman of the MAHLE Management Board and CEO, says: "The cooperation with ProLogium is an absolute win-win situation. With the combined expertise of the two groups, we will shape future battery technologies with superior properties.”

"I believe ProLogium's joint forces with MAHLE propel the commercialization of reliable and efficient solid-state battery solutions that advance electric vehicles to the next level. With the collaboration, we are on track to achieve a net-zero future." adds Vincent Yang, CEO and founder of ProLogium Technology.

When it comes to battery cooling systems, MAHLE is one of the pioneers and has been in series production for well over a decade
