Designed, engineered and assembled in the U.S.A. with domestically sourced cells, Aventor is built to support BABA-compliant OEM programs. The advanced 800-volt architecture delivers class-leading 300 Wh/L volumetric and up to 200 Wh/kg gravimetric energy density, 113 kWh of energy and 358 kW of peak discharge power.
"Aventor represents years of work across ABS and an exciting step forward in what we can offer our heavy-duty OEM customers," said Subhash Dhar, founder and CEO of ABS. "We set out to develop a battery platform that leads on energy density without any compromises in the safety, durability or performance these applications demand. The result is a highly capable platform that gives customers more energy, more uptime, more value and an excellent foundation from which they can scale electrification across their portfolios."
A scalable common architecture supports two purpose-built form factors, helping OEMs integrate the platform across vehicle layouts and duty cycles:
- The Chassis-Integrated Pack, the standard offering, is optimized for packaging efficiency and energy density. It can be installed between the frame rails, where many commercial vehicles already have protected availablespace, as well as in other constrained horizontal locations such as roof-mounted installations.
- The Hyper-Rugged Cube Pack offers an even more rugged enclosure and load-path strategy for use in harsher mechanical environments that see the highest levels of vibration, shock, and utilization. This configuration is designed for multiple installation orientations and mounting faces.
"Safety, reliability and intelligence are central to the design," said Jeffrey Donaldson, SVP engineering for ABS. The wire-free battery management system (BMS) reduces system complexity and improves reliability. Ultra-high-precision voltage and temperature measurement at every series element, together with a microprocessor and onboard data storage at every cell group, provide granular monitoring and diagnostics. The system includes cybersecurity protections, over-the-air update capabilities, active isolation monitoring, vent-gas detection and anti-propagation technologies.
Aventor is also designed to align with the functional-safety, regulatory and certification requirements important to commercial and industrial OEMs, including ASIL-C requirements under ISO 26262, FMVSS 305a, UL 2580 and ECE R100, among others. With ABS taking care of these requirements at the battery-platform level, the company is helping OEMs simplify integration, validation and compliance as they bring electrified products to market.
"For high-utilization applications where charging time directly affects productivity, the platform supports fast charging from 10% to 80% in 42 minutes or less," said Donaldson. It is built and validated for up to 10 years of heavy-duty design life with the vibration, shock and environmental exposure common across commercial and industrial equipment. The standard enclosure is dust-tight and certified to both IP67 for immersion and IP69K for high-pressure washdown.
Aventor is being developed using ABS' IATF 16949-certified quality management system and highest-quality battery engineering, validation and manufacturing processes. Together with U.S.-based engineering, cell sourcing and pack assembly, the platform gives OEMs a domestic battery option designed to meet their needs and the highest standards.
Customer samples are planned for 2027, with start of production planned for Q1 2028. Initial production capacity will be 6,000 battery packs annually, representing approximately 0.7 GWh.
