More than Production
Battery Development or off-the-shelf Product - The Choice is Yours
With the start of its own battery production, Webasto has opened a completely new chapter in the company's 120-year history in 2019. Whether it's a standardized battery system for commercial vehicles or a battery pack manufactured individually according to our customers' wishes - all our solutions meet the highest quality, safety and performance standards far beyond automotive requirements.

Individualized Battery Solutions
With our capability to create individualized battery systems, we can respond with a high degree of flexibility to a wide range of customer needs. With our modular Webasto design approach, we successfully develop tailor-made or “build-to-print” battery solutions for both passenger and commercial vehicles according to customer specifications. Our product and process development, the additional production options of in-house prototyping, electronics development and production and our test center ensure a reduced time-to-market from pre-development to the start of series production.

Standard Battery Systems
The Webasto CV standard battery system is designed for the commercial vehicle market and offers robust packaging, automotive standard design, zero compromise quality and an efficient cooling interface. Coupled with Samsung SDI state-of-the-art cell technology, Webasto CV standard battery system is a perfect fit for commercial vehicles. Designed for light, medium and heavy duty on- and off-road requirements, the Webasto CV standard battery system brings a off-the-shelf solution to reality. Modularity is our core design principle, with which we fit in your commercial vehicle application.

We put it through its paces
The Testing and Prototyping Center in Hengersberg offers capacities for building up to 1,200 battery system prototypes per year, which allows us to guarantee a fast internal set-up and thus short development cycles.
The heart of the Testing Facility is the e-MAST (electrified multi-axial oscillating table) for batteries. This unique structure allows complete battery systems to be charged/discharged according to customer specifications and tested under realistic conditions.
Our in-house electronics development, testing and validation ensure reduced time-to-market from pre-development to the start of series production. Hengersberg is also the blueprint for other battery testing facilites, just like the chinese Webasto battery center in Jiaxing, China.
Battery Production
Made in Schierling for customers all over the world: The Webasto plant in Bavaria is home to one of the most modern production facilities for battery systems - the highly flexible Multi-Product-Line, which can produce up to 40,000 battery systems per year.
The special feature of the plant is its flexible production as well as the modularity of the production stations.
Since 2019, battery systems for a European bus manufacturer as well as the company's own modular standard battery system for commercial vehicles are produced here.
Thanks to ist state-of-the-art equipment, the technology plant in Schierling also serves as a model for other Webasto battery plants, such as the one in Dangjin, Korea, where the first passenger car battery from Hyundai Kia Motors Corporation is produced since spring 2022.
On the 90-metre-long production line at the plant in Dangjin, around 100 colleagues at 39 stations together with 18 robots manufacture up to 100,000 batteries per year for our customer Hyundai-Kia Motors. A production cycle - from applying the thermal paste, to installing the cell modules, to mounting the top cover - takes about three minutes; that results in 17 batteries produced per hour.

Sustainability
In addition to technological progress, Webasto is dedicated to its ecological responsibility. We think along the entire development, production and product cycle and are actively working with various initiatives and projects to reduce our carbon footprint. At the Schierling plant, a large part of the energy requirement is supplied by the company's own photovoltaic system. With an output of up to 750 kWp, battery production can be supplied 100% by solar energy. Together with the 2 MW combined heat and power plant installed in 2014, the PV system is a key component of Webasto's overall strategy for sustainable battery production and a perfect example of a comprehensive energy concept. In the coming years, the site will be continuously developed - with sustainability as the guiding principle.
Our Success Stories
Previous project successes confirm our path to electric mobility. More and more customers are using our standard battery system or a individualized system for their vehicles. Recent orders from leading vehicle manufacturers include the production of a passenger car battery, batteries for hybrid vehicles and the production of cell modules for a large German photovoltaic company.
Battery Production for the Hyundai-Kia Motors Corporation
We are where our customers are: In the newly built plant in Dangjin, Korea, the first Webasto-owned passenger car battery will roll off the production line from 2022 as part of the cooperation with Hyundai-Kia Motors Corporation. On the highly automated production line, up to 100,000 battery systems per year can be manufactured in a first phase with a cycle time of about 3 minutes. The passenger car battery will be available in two different versions, namely the long-range version and a basic version.
Webasto Battery System Locations
Webasto's global internal network and broad international presence underpin one of the company's great strengths: we are where our customers are. Webasto Battery Systems has access to all Webasto production facilities worldwide and is already represented globally with ten locations. In terms of sales, we rely on a globally oriented, proven structure with local support thanks to individual market know-how.
