Microvast and Iveco Group have announced an expansion of their collaborative efforts to advance electric battery solutions in Europe. The partnership, initiated in 2017 with the IVECO eDaily project, has continually introduced new battery packs and supported the electrification of commercial vehicle fleets. In the original eDaily program, Microvast supplied battery systems based on VDA modules and 52 Ah cells, establishing a solid foundation for future cooperation. The project remains in production, providing ongoing support to sustainable transportation initiatives.
In 2023, the partnership expanded with the launch of the Microvast MV-I Gen 1 battery pack. Assembled at the FPT ePowertrain plant in Turin, Italy, the Gen 1 pack was integrated into the IVECO BUS platform.
Building on this achievement, both companies transitioned to the MV-I Gen 2 pack, also assembled in Europe. The Gen 2 battery now powers the full IVECO BUS platform as well as the IVECO S-eWay Rigid heavy-duty truck. This generation delivers enhanced performance, scalability, and reliability, and continues to be manufactured for large-scale deployment across European commercial vehicle markets.
Looking ahead, Microvast will support Iveco Group in developing subsequent battery generations aimed at improving energy density, efficiency, and lifecycle performance. Alessandro Bernardini, Head of Zero Emission Propulsion & Energy at Iveco Group, commented that the extended collaboration underscores their joint dedication to innovative, reliable, and sustainable transportation solutions. Yang Wu, CEO of Microvast, added that the partnership serves as a blueprint for long-term collaboration in accelerating e-mobility, and noted that the coming online of Microvast’s Huzhou 3.2 gigawatt-hour production capacity will further bolster support for Iveco Group’s zero-emission targets with high-performance, European-assembled batteries.
This ongoing partnership highlights both companies’ shared focus on operational excellence, technological innovation, and environmental sustainability, reinforcing their roles in driving Europe’s transition to clean commercial transport.
