The agreement enables Saft to add the new supercapacitor technology to its portfolio of leading edge battery technologies. By providing effective and reliable starting power for large diesel engines at low temperatures or in frequent stop-start usage the supercapacitors will allow the vehicle battery to be optimized for the application.
