Efficiency in motion: ultra-fast charging
Niobium batteries for electric buses

CBMM, in collaboration with Toshiba and Volkswagen Truck & Bus, is leading the way in transforming urban mobility with the development of ultra-fast charging, Niobium-based lithium-ion batteries. These advanced batteries, integrated into a 100% electric bus prototype, highlight the important role Niobium plays in boosting ultra-fast charging capabilities and operational performance, ensuring a more reliable, efficient and productive electric transportation solution.
Key benefits of the SCiB™Nb battery Developed by Toshiba in collaboration with CBMM, the SCiB™Nb is a unique lithium-ion battery that uses Niobium anode technology, offering significant advantages over traditional battery technologies.
Ultra-fast charging

Charge 0-80% in under 10 minutes, enabling continuous operation.
 

Greater efficiency

Maintain energy efficiency, even when discharged to 0% and recharged to 100%.
Longer lifespan

Endures up to 10,000 charge cycles without compromising performance or safety.
Reduced battery size

Allows for more space for cargo or passengers, which is crucial for the transportation sector.
24/7 fleet optimization SCiB™ Nb batteries are developed with Niobium anode technology, the electrode responsible for releasing electrons during battery discharge. By replacing traditional anode technology like graphite with Niobium make this new generation of Li-ion batteries ideal for application in public transportation and other fleets that require minimal downtime. The ultra-fast charging capability allows vehicles to achieve optima fleet performance, supporting continuous 24/7 operation, maximizing efficiency across the system.
