Toshiba Launches New SCiB™ Module with Double the Heat Dissipation Performance for EV Buses, Electric Ships, and Stationary Applications
- Achieving constant high power input and output while maintaining battery life - TOKYO, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba Corporation has launched a new SCiB™ module, a lithium-ion battery designed for use in EV buses, electric ships, and stationary applications. The new product features an aluminum baseplate that dissipates approximately twice the heat of current modules. It will be available from mid-April 2025, in Japan and internationally. Use of lithium-ion batteries is increasing and diversifying, and there is growing demand for batteries that can support constant rapid charging and discharging in applications as diverse as electric buses and power load leveling in stationary applications. However, constant input and output at high power levels in a short time generates lifeshortening heat in the batteries. The challenge for battery developers is to manage heat dissipation and maintain battery life while realizing high power input and output in a short time. Toshiba's SCiB™ rechargeable batteries have a lithium titanate negative electrode that realizes safe operation, a long life, low temperature performance, fast charging, high input and output, and a wide effective state of charge (SOC *1). They are widely used in hybrid vehicles and industrial applications, including electric buses, cranes, trains, and automated guided vehicles in logistics centers. In addition to battery packs and cells, Toshiba also offers battery modules that can be connected in series or in parallel connnections to meet required voltages and capacities. Users of module products want a balance between constant high input and output in a short time and battery life. Toshiba has met this increasing demand with a new module that is the first to feature an aluminum baseplate. Aluminum is an excellent conductor, and the new module dissipates heat at approximately twice the rate of current battery modules. Aluminum has a lower the thermal resistance than the resin materials usually used in baseplates. However, as it is a conductor, the baseplate must be insulated from the battery cells. Toshiba has developed a novel structure that achieves the required voltage resistance, allowing commercialization. When used with the same cooling system normally applied by customers, and under typical operating conditions, heat dissipation performance is approximately double that of current modules, significantly extending battery life. Adding new products to its module lineup allows Toshiba to respond flexibly to customer demands and application requirements. Toshiba will continue to offer products that leverage the unique features of its SCiB TM lithium-ion battery, while fully considering customer lifecycle costs, from installation to maintenance and disposal.

Toshiba's Innovative Rechargeable Battery Set to Elevate Safety and Reliability of Electric Motorcycle Taxis, Addressing Fire Risks
Propel Thailand Closer to Carbon Neutrality Goals BANGKOK, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba Corporation showcased its rechargeable lithium-ion battery "SCiB™" at a media briefing in Bangkok on March 5, 2025, highlighting its exceptional characteristics of long lifespan and intrinsic safety, which elevate the safety and reliability of electric motorcycle taxis for both drivers and passengers. SCiB™'s unique features have the potential to play a significant role in the transition towards sustainable urban transportation in Thailand. By utilizing SCiB™, Toshiba aims to support Thailand's carbon neutrality objectives and facilitates the wide adoption of e-motorcycles that meet stringent standards, enhancing sustainability and reliability in the transportation sector. Thailand aims to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050 and Net-Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2065*1. The demand for lithium-ion batteries in emerging countries for electric vehicles (EV) is expected to exceed 600GWh by 2035. However, only 2.8% of that is projected to come from batteries for motorcycles and three-wheeled vehicles, both widely used in public transport*2. Manufacturers of e-motorcycles face significant challenges in commercializing their products, primarily due to safety concerns surrounding conventional lithium-ion batteries. These issues include fire risks under various stressors and performance degradation over time, worsened by the tropical heat and humidity prevalent in Southeast Asian countries. The increasing risk of accidents as batteries age further complicates the integration of these vehicles into the transportation sector. Addressing these safety and longevity issues is crucial for successfully implementing e-motorcycle initiatives in the region and the industry's overall progress. Manufacturers must find innovative solutions to enhance safety and reliability, overcoming the hurdles posed by environmental factors and battery limitations to achieve wide adoption and ensure the viability of e-motorcycles in Southeast Asia's challenging climate. The Toshiba's battery SCiB™ is showing potential to address these concerns and revolutionize the electric motorcycle industry in Southeast Asia. Its innovative lithium titanium oxide (LTO) anode chemistry offers superior safety, longevity, and performance in challenging environments, in contrast to the conventional carbon-based materials used in typical lithium-ion batteries. It demonstrates remarkable resilience, resisting internal short circuits and maintaining integrity during rigorous safety tests. SCiB™ maintains its performance through over 20,000 charge-discharge cycles with minimal degradation. Furthermore, its rapid-charging capability allows for recharging from zero to over 80% capacity in just six minutes, ensuring minimal downtime for e-motorcycles. These features directly address the safety, longevity, and performance issues hindering electric motorcycle adoption in the region, paving the way for more reliable and sustainable urban transportation solutions. In September 2024, Toshiba partnered with naturenix inc., a Japan battery technology startup from Shimane University, and Windee International, a joint venture with Thailand's parking management servicer, to launch a demonstration test of battery subscription service for e-motorcycle taxis in Bangkok, announced in October 2024*3. Such a battery subscription service is expected to allow users to access to the advanced and well-maintained battery technology in a cost-effective way. The ongoing trial is yielding promising results, highlighting SCiB™'s capacity to deliver efficient and practical solutions. Together with partners, Toshiba offers a safe and cost-effective solution for electric motorcycle taxis in Bangkok, addressing fire risks. This innovative battery subscription service not only accelerates EV adoption in Thailand's two- and three-wheeler segments but also has the potential to transform various vehicle markets, including buses and automated guided vehicles, significantly contributing to the country's efforts in achieving carbon neutrality.
