Fiamm SoNick:
Sodium Nickel Chloride Battery
Why Sodium Nickel Chloride?

 Long life in real service and not only in laboratory

IVECO experienced mileage with the technology:
more than 2.000.000 km in real use
IVECO experienced mileage with one single module:
more than 130.000 km and it’s still working…

 Temperature agnostic
operating in all weather conditions at same performance level;

 The highest energy density:

110 Wh/kg at system level: better payload with the same range;

 100% recyclable
with no hazardous materials and real low environmental impact

 The first battery having CE certification;

 Low safety risk:

positive at all safety tests defined by the European Automotive Industry and
USABC;

 No memory effect
charging flexibility

 Maintenance free

Transport Policy
Intermodal/Comodal approach

TARGET by 2050: Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from transport should

be reduced by at least 60%, compared with 1990 levels.

No mode is more friendly for the sustainability than another.

The environmental performance of transport modes
depends mostly on whether they are efficiently used, flexible
and suitable to deliver specific transport missions
