Lead enabling cleaner, more economical cars
Advanced lead batteries are essential in vehicles from start-stop to hybrid, and in electric vehicles, where auxiliary batteries support critical safety functions.
Non-ferrous metals are the building blocks of all the currently known low-carbon solutions for a decarbonised economy, including clean mobility solutions. Lead plays a vital role in clean mobility, from advanced lead battery back-up in EV charging stations, to powering auxiliary and safety functions in EVs. Today, more than 340 million vehicles on Europe's roads rely on lead batteries.
Advanced lead batteries are essential in vehicles from start-stop to hybrid, and in electric vehicles, where auxiliary batteries support critical safety functions.
Advanced lead batteries are an essential onboard component in mild-hybrid, full-hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) and they can provide back-up in EV charging stations to improve their efficiency.
In electric or hybrid vehicles, advanced lead batteries power the 12V electrical network and act as an independent back-up for safety-critical systems.
