JLR has signed an agreement with Fortescue’s advanced battery intelligence software, Elysia, to enhance battery longevity, safety, and performance in the company’s luxury vehicles.
Starting with the new Range Rover Electric, launching later this year, Fortescue’s Elysia software will monitor all future JLR electric vehicles (EVs).
Monitoring battery health throughout its life will support sustainability by making it easier to transition batteries from electric vehicles to second-life applications.
Fortescue’s software uses digital twins and artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and solve battery issues, helping JLR optimise battery performance and safety for clients.
This collaboration is part of JLR’s Reimagine strategy to electrify all its brands by 2030 and achieve carbon net zero by 2039. Fortescue has its own ambitious decarbonisation goals, including eliminating emissions from its operations by 2030.
Thomas Mueller, Executive Director, Product Engineering at JLR, said:
“Fortescue’s technology will provide JLR with even greater access to data analytics, integral as we electrify our entire vehicle portfolio by 2030. As the industry transitions towards electrification, collaborations such as these are paramount, as we look to further enhance the safety, performance and lifetime of our batteries.”
