Battery aging is driven less by time and cycles than by stress. How temperature, SoC and charging behavior combine determines degradation speed—and small operational changes can dramatically improve longevity

What does State of Health actually measure, and who defines it? Exploring how BMS software, capacity buffers and degradation tracking shape the reported SoH, revealing the gap between technical battery condition and the available capacity

An examination of battery cell imbalance in lithium-ion systems, explaining how series-connected packs amplify small cell differences and how the BMS monitors voltages, enforces safety limits, and performs balancing

An examination of charging strategies for lithium-ion batteries, from depot to opportunity charging, highlighting CCCV behavior, power scaling limits, and chemistry-dependent effects

Vector has introduced vSECC.InPlug, a communication controller board enabling distances of up to 100 metres between vehicles and central DC charging equipment in bus and truck depots. The new solution moves charging communication directly into the DC charging connector, while a second controller rem...

Masats will unveil new passenger access and accessibility solutions for urban buses and coaches at FIAA 2026 in Madrid, with artificial intelligence integrated into its latest door technology. The Spanish company will showcase again the new AIDA (Artificial Intelligence Door Access) system alongside...
