As we see increasing shifts within consumers and businesses to Cleaner, Greener, More efficient, non-fossil fuel solutions, there is a group of industries also looking to make that shift. However, their needs are different than many other industries and NuGen through it’s Energy Platform and Modular Solutions plans to address this need.
NuGen believes that most of the “New Energy, New Power” solutions that will displace legacy solutions will be based on Lithium-ion batteries. Hence NuGen has developed a Lithium-ion Battery Based Platform strategy that allows them to quickly, build and customize Modular Solutions for it’s customers and meet their needs.
The NuGen Power 2440 and 1280 batteries, designed for autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs), material handling equipment, and other electrical equipment needs, present many cost, performance, and environmental improvements over the traditional lead acid batteries.
