Volume 88, Issue 50
Dow Kokam will supply lithium-ion batteries to the French industrial vehicle firm PVI for use in what the partners are calling the first-ever electric garbage trucks. To be deployed early next year in Courbevoie, France, the trucks boast reduced noise pollution, zero local emissions, and no idling during inactive periods. Dow Kokam was established last year by Dow Chemical, TK Advanced Battery, and Groupe Industriel Marcel Dassault.
The power is now in your (nitrile gloved) hands
