Shortly after the German battery manufacturer Varta started manufacturing Battery cells for the automotive industry explained, the Austrian Pierer Mobility Group announces a strategic collaboration with Varta to develop battery systems for electric motorcycles.

The focus of cooperation between Varta and KTM is on the development and industrialization of low-voltage battery platforms for vehicles with a peak output of 250 watts to 20 kilowatts, which achieve a high range and performance. The cooperation partners see great potential for the development of a platform battery for light electric vehicles in the field of 48-volt technology.

Scooter and 125cc with electric drive

The cooperation includes the areas of research, development and production, joint marketing and sales activities as well as a battery take-back and recycling program. With the cooperation, both companies want to send a strong signal in and out of Europe.

The Pierer Mobility Group sees a lot of potential for electric drives in the scooter segment as well as in the 125 cc. The first electric scooter under the Husqvarna label is expected to come as early as 2022.
