Taiwan-based SEETEL New Energy has chosen Volvo Penta’s battery systems for energy storage to power its mobile fast-charging solutions in Asia Pacific with applications across industrial and urban sectors. The selection marks Volvo Penta’s growing role as a trusted supplier in the region’s expanding energy market.
Powered by Volvo Penta’s liquid-cooled, high-performance battery systems for energy storage, SEETEL New Energy’s solutions can be designed to carry large amounts of installed energy, in demanding mobile energy applications. This enables reliable charging for high-power industrial applications like construction and mining, as well as emergency relief, remote medical support, and roadside EV assistance. The company will develop mobile battery energy storage systems (BESS) in 270 kWh and 540 kWh configurations, mounted on light trucks to serve as mobile fast-charging units or transportable containerised units for industrial use.
“By combining Volvo Penta’s integration-ready battery systems for energy storage with our energy management and deployment capabilities, we can deliver high-efficiency, mobile charging solutions that support the region’s growing demand for cleaner and flexible energy. This also accelerates our business diversification while helping our customers transition to sustainable operations competitively,” says Lin Sheng-Tse, Chairman and Founder of SEETEL New Energy.
The relationship was facilitated through Volvo Penta’s long-standing Taiwanese dealer, JOU International, which supplies Volvo Penta-powered backup power gensets to SEETEL New Energy’s facilities. Building on this trust, SEETEL New Energy saw the potential of Volvo Penta’s battery systems for energy storage to diversify and strengthen its business.
“Our relationship with SEETEL New Energy demonstrates how Volvo Penta can play a trusted role in enabling customers to bring new energy solutions to the market,” said Volvo Penta Industrial Sales Director Oh Han Peng. “By supplying proven, integration-ready battery systems, we help our customers focus on what they do best – developing and deploying applications that meet emerging needs in energy storage and electrification.”
SEETEL New Energy’s requirements called for solutions that are mobile, robust, and able to carry large amounts of installed energy safely. Leveraging the electromobility platform from the Volvo Group, Volvo Penta’s integration-ready battery systems, certified for mobility and tested with high IP-class protection, are designed for tough conditions – making them a strong fit for SEETEL New Energy’s mobile and industrial use. This project builds on Volvo Penta’s long heritage in power generation – expanding its portfolio from advanced engines to battery systems for energy storage.
