Amprius Technologies, a company in next-generation lithium-ion batteries, has been selected by AIBOT, a company in the development of crewed and uncrewed Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft solutions for advanced air mobility, to be its trusted battery partner.
Amprius SiCore batteries will enable AIBOT’s next-generation aiEVTOL vehicles, ushering in a new era in electric aviation.
Amprius’ SiCore cells — known for their high-energy density, power, and reliability — will play a pivotal role in powering AIBOT’s aiEVTOL ecosystem, which includes its heavy-lift air cargo eVTOL drone and single-pilot, six-passenger eVTOL air taxi aircraft.
SiCore cells are expected to ensure maximum power and reliability for mission-critical operations. AIBOT’s aiEVTOL drone, designed for remotely piloted heavy-lift air cargo missions, is expected to be introduced by the end of 2024.
By harnessing the power of AI and cutting-edge battery technology, AIBOT’s innovative suite of AI-driven electric mobility solutions encompasses Urban Air Mobility, Unmanned Aerial Systems, and EVs. AIBOT has plans to unveil its first commercialized preproduction unmanned aircraft in 2024 and bring a single-pilot, six-passenger eVTOL manned aircraft to market in the following years, AIBOT is committed to shaping the future of electric aviation.
“AIBOT’s focus on developing cutting-edge autonomous electric aircraft solutions aligns with our commitment to pushing the boundaries of battery technology,” said Dr. Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius. “We applaud their strategy to validate their autonomous aircraft through a phased approach, accelerating their time-to-market. Our SiCore batteries offer unmatched performance in electric mobility, and we are confident that our technology can help AIBOT achieve their goal of creating a connected, autonomous, and ultra-safe aircraft ecosystem.”
