Forsee Power to Equip Tramways in the USA with Its PULSE PLUS Battery Systems
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Forsee Power (Paris:FORSE) (FR0014005SB3 – FORSEE – the 'Company'), the expert in battery systems for commercial and industrial electric vehicles, today announces that it was selected by Metcom, the specialist in power electronics systems for rail vehicles, to equip tramways in a large city in the USA. Up to 55 light rail vehicles are expected to be equipped with FORSEE PULSE PLUS battery system to run off-catenary. Up to 55 city trams will soon operate In 2024, a new rolling stock manufacturer was selected to design and manufacture up to 55 new hybrid battery high-floor vehicles to replace their oldest light rail vehicles on the existing network. The new trams with onboard energy storage system (OESS) will combine overhead line operation and battery traction. The new tramway cars will not only improve comfort and efficiency but will also reduce dependence on overhead lines. They make it possible to expand the tramway line where overhead lines are not available, reduce the construction of new infrastructure while preserving the urban landscape. Medcom, the specialist in rail vehicle power electronics will provide the traction system, while Forsee Power supplies Medcom with the battery systems for the OESS energy storage system. The first batteries will be delivered to Medcom in April 2026.

Connected Energy and Forsee Power to Develop Grid-Scale Energy Storage Using Second Life Batteries From Electric Buses
NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, England & PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Connected Energy and Forsee Power (FR0014005SB3 – FORSE) have signed a Partnership Agreement to jointly design and develop a modular, scalable energy storage solution. This will combine Connected Energy's proven second life technology with Forsee Power's ZEN 35 and ZEN 42 battery packs, which are deployed in about 1,500 electric buses in Europe. Additionally, the agreement includes the development of an operating model to facilitate future large-scale commercial deployment. Once electric vehicles (EVs) reach end of their first life, the batteries can be repurposed in energy storage systems for applications such as supporting renewable energy generation or behind-the-meter. This extends the batteries' working life and provides an additional revenue stream, making EV batteries both more sustainable and cost effective. In this way, second life EV batteries can play a crucial role in addressing growing global energy demands. Forsee Power specializes in battery systems for sustainable electric transport and is a major player in Europe, Asia and North America. Founded in 2010, Connected Energy has extensive expertise in delivering second life battery energy storage systems, with installations across Europe. ' This agreement with Forsee Power represents a significant step forward in delivering a new second life economy for EV batteries,' said Matthew Lumsden, CEO of Connected Energy. 'The availability of second life batteries is increasing rapidly and the best way to realize the value in them is through partnerships that span the value chain. By combining our expertise, we can deliver energy storage technology that delivers greater environmental and commercial benefits as the flow of batteries increases. ' 'We are glad to extend our partnership with Connected Energy initiated in 2021, to develop a grid-scale energy storage system using battery packs from electric buses that have completed their first life.' said Christophe Gurtner, Chairman & CEO of Forsee Power. ' Our company's vision is to develop a sustainable battery ecosystem to maximize the value of our batteries throughout their lifetime and contribute to the mitigation of climate change. Forsee Power, the leader of battery systems for buses outside of China, has equipped more than 4,200 buses. Thus, we have and will have access to a significant number of batteries once they complete their first life. As a consequence, the potential is huge. ' Both partners are committed to scaling these innovations to meet the global demand for energy storage. The first 2.5MWh system will be operational in the UK in the final quarter of 2025. Following this first project, it is anticipated that further projects, each typically exceeding 25MWh, will follow in the UK and France. About Connected Energy Since 2010, Connected Energy has pioneered the use of second-life EV batteries for energy storage. Working closely with industry leaders, the company delivers the most sustainable and innovative solutions for stationary energy storage, enabling organisations to meet growing energy demands while mitigating the environmental impact of EV batteries.
