MAHLE Powertrain opens dedicated battery development, testing and prototyping center in Europe

MAHLE Powertrain, the specialist engineering services provider, has opened a new state-of-the-art battery development center in Stuttgart, Germany, specifically to cater for the needs of its European clients. The facility spans over 1,300 m2 and it can accommodate all aspects of battery development, from initial prototyping through to small-scale production, with a breadth of capability that covers applications from small e-bikes to large electric trucks. The new facility follows the creation of a vehicle and battery development center at the company’s Northampton site, which opened last year.
