FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EnerDel Secures Supply Agreement and Releases Low Profile Energy Storage System
(ESS) for Hybrid Buses and Heavy-Duty Transportation Applications
The air-cooled 20kWh ESS is a direct drop-in replacement for existing NiMH systems
INDIANAPOLIS, IN – (June 4, 2014) –EnerDel Inc., a leading supplier of advanced lithium-ion
batteries, has released the PP320-689-LP Vigor+ for use in hybrid buses and other heavy-duty
transportation applications. The new Low Profile ESS features EnerDel’s patented air-cooled
thermal management design for single pack operation in hybrid buses, and is scalable for
higher-energy-required transportation applications. The Low Profile ESS is a direct drop-in
replacement for Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery packs currently populating many dieselhybrid buses.
Road-testing of EnerDel’s ESS for diesel-hybrid buses began nearly one year ago. The ESS
has performed failure-free for over 50,000 miles of regular passenger service at a major transit
authority in North America. Additional early production systems are successfully operating in
regular passenger service in tropical climates as well, demonstrating the air-cooled thermal
management design across various atmospheric profiles.

“We are excited about the commercial launch of our new low profile ESS. Securing the supply
agreement for this product demonstrates our vast capabilities and focus in the heavy-duty
transportation markets,” states EnerDel CEO, Michael Canada. “EnerDel’s Lithium-Ion Low
Profile ESS offers an increased energy density of more than 300%, a lighter weight, and a
performance, fueling and price-point advantage over most of its NiMH counterparts.”
“The new low profile design is a strong option for Original Equipment Manufacturers of heavyduty vehicles seeking air-cooled hybrid packs or scalable solutions for all-electric programs. It is
also an excellent aftermarket solution for transit authorities under pressure to replace aging
NiMH batteries in order to lower maintenance costs and enhance fuel economy,” states Tomasz
Poznar, VP of Transportation for EnerDel.
