IAV unveils new battery assembly concept that is easier to recycle, with better CO2 balance

Green Car Congress

JUNE 9, 2021

IAV has developed a battery assembly concept that is much easier to recycle than existing battery systems and also has a much better CO 2 balance. The concept is not only interesting for future vehicles—it can be integrated into existing e-models as well. The IAV battery concept replaces aluminum with steel.
