Design, architecture and development of lightweight rechargeable battery technologies
Rechargeable Lithium Sulfur batteries have a wide range of applications due to their light weight, high gravimetric energy density and inherent safety. Currently, OXIS Energy is targeting the Electric Vehicle (EV), Defence, and Aviation battery markets to introduce this technology.
Once Li-S batteries are proven in these markets and the volumetric energy density has been further improved, then Lithium Sulfur batteries will be ideal for incorporation into small, personal devices such as mobile phones and computers.
QWIC scooters
QWIC is currently developing the WESP, an innovative electric scooter specifically designed for the urban environment. The OXIS batteries will be integrated into the WESP scooter in 2014. This will provide the consumer with significantly longer travelling distances per charge, and be user-friendly, practical and safe. QWIC’s innovative electrical bicycles are distributed to around 350 shops in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France.

INDUCT Modulgo Urban Car
OXIS batteries will power a revolutionary new car created by Induct in France. The Modulgo is a low cost urban electric vehicle designed from telematics technology offering advanced car sharing solutions.
The parking automatically makes MODULGO available to users from an Internet reservation, a Smartphone or a touch screen terminal at the entrance. On their return, the driver leaves the MODULGO at the parking entrance. The automatic parking system parks MODULGO and manages the charging and the provision for a new user. The parking is equipped with sensors and takes robotic control of MODULGO. The central application software controls the parking, monitors battery cycles and usage of all MODULGO vehicles on the site.
The MODULGO was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2011 and OXIS batteries will power it in 2013.
INDUCT Cybergo
Cybergo is a driverless 8 passenger robotized shuttle, design for transportation in city centres. Its design brings out new technologies in robotics applied to the automobile. Ideal for pedestrian areas or private campuses, such as airport parking, shopping malls, business parks, and universities, Cybergo can provide an on-demand, personalized transportation solution in areas that existing transportation cannot reach.
Cybergo is equipped with laser range finders, cameras and a software
package developed by INDUCT that allows it to move autonomously
and safely in any environment.
OXIS batteries will power the Cybergo in 2014.
