"Martin Busche, in October 2025 you have been presenting several new solutions at Busworld. What exactly did you showcase? Martin Busche: What you saw in our booth is essentially our complete product range. Beyond what's displayed, we have further diversifications, but here you saw the full LFP battery pack family - a four-member family - and one of the NMC pack variants, the 6 AKM version. Our NMC family also includes a 1.80-meter 9 AKM pack and a 5 AKM pack, all featuring cylindrical-cell NMC modules."
"And with LFP? M.B.: With LFP, the family consists of four packs built around blade cells. The ~50 kWh flat pack - two metres long, 14 cm high (required for ground clearance), 66 cm wide - is designed for underbody installation in buses, where height is restricted i.e. due to wheelchair accessibility requirements. The compact pack (same energy) is a shorter dual-layer version suitable for many applications: Space restricted bus engine compartments, medium duty trucks, small excavators or marine applications."
BorgWarner offers LFP and NMC battery packs built on shared hardware, software and cell architecture to support varied installation concepts in buses and commercial vehicles. The LFP family uses blade cells in four pack formats: a ~50 kWh flat pack for underbody installation (two metres long, 14 cm high, 66 cm wide); a compact dual-layer ~50 kWh pack for space-restricted engine compartments and medium-duty equipment; and 100 kWh variants in cubic four-layer and high double-layer forms for heavy-duty trucks and rooftop installations. The NMC family includes cylindrical-cell modules in 6 AKM, 9 AKM (1.80 m) and 5 AKM variants, reflecting a strategy focused on manufacturing efficiency, scalability, flexibility and cost competitiveness.
