슬롯사이트 추천 Press Release

슬롯사이트 추천 Bobcat is accelerating the internalization and vertical integration of core components by securing proprietary technologies for battery packs used in compact construction equipment and forklifts.

슬롯사이트 추천 Bobcat and LG Energy Solution announced on March 19th that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the development of 'battery pack solutions for compact construction equipment.'

Through this MOU, the two companies will collaborate for standardized lithium battery packs and solutions for compact construction equipment and supply them to key markets including North America. Specifically, LG Energy Solution will provide lithium-ion battery cells or modules, while 슬롯사이트 추천 Bobcat will add battery management systems and package them to standard battery packs optimized for compact construction equipment. The companies will also discuss expanding the battery packs and solutions from construction equipment such as loaders and excavators to agricultural and landscaping equipment like tractors.

Hyunchul (Charlie) Park, CSO and Executive Vice President of 슬롯사이트 추천 Bobcat, stated, "We are pleased to develop battery packs for compact construction equipment on the back of excellent quality and stability of LG Energy Solution's cells," explaining the significance of the MOU. He added "We will standardize battery packs for compact construction equipment and provide solutions to major markets such as North America."

“We are excited to collaborate with 슬롯사이트 추천 Bobcat, a global leader in construction equipment, to develop electrification technologies and expand our business in this vitally important sector,” said Yooseong Oh, Senior Vice President and Head of LG Energy Solution’s Mobility & IT Battery Division. “We remain deeply committed to leading the challenge of electrifying various industries.”

슬롯사이트 추천 Bobcat has been consistently working on the internalization of battery packs, which are directly connected to the performance of electrified equipment. Since 2023, the company has been collaborating with China's global lithium-ion battery company 'CosMX.' They have developed battery packs with enhanced stability and performance, and have been incorporating these into electric forklifts for sale since last year.

Last month, 슬롯사이트 추천 Bobcat and CosMX formalized their partnership by signing a Technical Assistance Agreement (TAA) to expand the collaboration. Through this agreement, 슬롯사이트 추천 Bobcat will receive initial training from CosMX on battery pack design and manufacturing techniques applicable to various products, securing proprietary technologies.

Additionally, 슬롯사이트 추천 Bobcat established a dedicated team for the battery pack business in January and plans to set up an R&D center. The R&D center, expected to be completed in the second half of this year and located in Pyeongchon, Anyang City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, will conduct technical validation for battery pack manufacturing.

With this move, 슬롯사이트 추천 Bobcat accelerates vertical integration of core components, including the acquisition of the hydraulic component specialist 슬롯사이트 추천 Mottrol last year and now entering the battery pack business. CSO Park said, "By vertically integrating the battery pack business following hydraulics, we have strengthened our competitiveness in core components, preparing for electrification as well as traditional industrial equipment," and added, "We plan to develop optimal battery packs by collaborating with leading global companies and apply them to various types of compact equipment."
