Saft to Provide Li-ion Batteries for General Dynamics

Saft is providing a Li-ion battery for General Dynamics Land Systems’ Advanced Ground Mobility Vehicle (AGMV). The demonstration vehicle houses innovative technologies that could meet the requirements for the next generation of tactical wheeled vehicles.

The custom battery was designed to use stored energy to provide supplemental power to the electric drive system and enable operation of the vehicle with the engine turned off. Saft supplied a 220V Li-ion battery for the hybrid electric drive system, supporting vehicle acceleration and regenerative braking. Additionally, the battery provides power for on-board electronic systems for Silent Watch, exported power and mobile applications.
