The complementary cooperation combines the engineering and test core competencies of FEV with the lithium-ion battery core competencies of EIG. At the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference 2009 (AABC 2009) earlier this year, EIG described a prototype lithium-ion battery system targeted at a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) application.
