Regulatory News:
Forsee Power (FR0014005SB3 – FORSE), the expert in smart
battery systems for commercial and industrial electric vehicles,
announces that Turkish bus manufacturer Otokar has chosen Forsee
ZEN LFP battery system to equip their e-TERRITO, available in 12m
and 13m versions.
Otokar accelerates its transition to zero-emission
mobility
Otokar is the leading bus manufacturer in Turkey, offering a
range of vehicles from 6 to 21 meters for urban, school, intercity,
and tourist transport. Otokar manufactures its vehicles in Turkey
and sells them in more than 75 countries, meeting the needs of
passenger transport operators worldwide.
To meet the requirement for decarbonization, Otokar has
developed a complete range of zero-emission vehicles, including the
e-TERRITO, an electric intercity coach accommodating 57 passengers
in the 12m and 63 passengers in 13m version. An improved version of
e-TERRITO featuring a capacity of 450 kWh was launched in 2024.
Otokar has chosen FORSEE ZEN LFP 36, a high-energy battery
system, that delivers a 400-km range and charges in less than 4
hours.
FORSEE ZEN LFP, a modular solution to electrify heavy
vehicles with an excellent cycle life
ZEN LFP is a cost-efficient, high-energy lithium-ion LFP modular
product line designed for the commercial vehicles market (bus,
truck, off-highway). ZEN LFP batteries are available in two formats
— 36 kWh and 55 kWh — offering a wide range of voltage and energy
combinations to perfectly match power and energy requirements. The
two different formats – combined with an excellent energy density
of 240 Wh/L, and the ability to stack up to 2 modules – allow a
multitude of integration possibilities to optimize all available
space in the vehicle.
Forsee Power’s safe and robust design complies with ISO 26262
ASIL-C and is compatible with numerous stringent industry standards
(including R100-3, R10.6, AIS-038 rev.2, SAE J2464 and SAE J2929),
ensuring the reliability and durability of the battery system. It
is also compatible with the C-box LFP industry standard format for
easy replacement, while being more compact and able to provide up
to 20% more power.
This new product line offers an exceptional lifespan of up to
6,000 cycles and cost optimization related to the LFP chemistry,
hence providing a very low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to
operators.
The Forsee Power battery systems for Otokar will be manufactured
in Chasseneuil-du-Poitou in France.
