Capgemini Engineering’s Post

Transcript

At the very beginning of our collaboration with us on those back in 2021, we knew that battery and power system development would be crucial for their innovative products. The hybrid electric propulsion solutions, Diana and Artia Ascendancy aircraft powered by standard. Our Esterna hybrid electric system relies on the smart combination of power sources and the battery technology is a major element in our technological product. It's what allows us to achieve those significant reductions in carbon emissions as our. Collaboration evolved into its industrialization phase. We worked on the critical importance of developing and producing electric battery systems. We understood that establishing A robust industrial ecosystem for batteries would pose a significant challenge for Sundance. Our team at Capgemini really dwelled into developing a make or buy strategy for battery system, recognizing they are a critical element of the aircraft. For us, understanding the entire landscape, from the components and suppliers to the cost drivers and potential manufacturing bottlenecks was key. Capgemini conducted a thorough analysis on the whole value chain of the battery system, comparing various cell suppliers along with BMS and TMS, and really trying to understand the most suitable actors across the entire value chain. Beyond just sourcing, we also worked on developing different manufacturing scenarios for the potential verticalization of battery system. For us and loss, this involves looking at what made sense. Put him to manufacture in house versus what to outsource. Ultimately, the goal of this work was to provide us Sandos with key insights to support their decision making on their battery strategy, which fundamentally underpins their overall technological positioning in the market. For having a comprehensive understanding of the battery landscape, we aim to help mitigate potential business impacts. The insights and strategies developed with Capgemini around battery technology have been invaluable. Have moved towards the first flight of our R prototype in the coming year and look towards the future of sustainable regional aviation.
