Melbourne’s automotive landscape is set to transform with the announcement of Mazda Australia’s new strategic partnership with Infinitev, a trailblazer in the Electric Vehicle (EV) battery sector. This collaboration is poised to pioneer a circular economy for EV batteries, embracing the principles of reuse, repurpose, and recycling.
Dickson Leow, General Manager of Infinitev, shared his vision for this alliance, stating, “We’re setting the stage for an eco-friendly revolution in EV battery management. Our innovative reuse solutions not only promise sustainability but also aim to significantly reduce waste and conserve precious resources.”
As Mazda Australia expands its electrified lineup with cutting-edge models like the All-Hybrid Mazda CX-60 and CX-90, the importance of a sustainable lifecycle for vehicle batteries has never been greater. Alastair Doak, Mazda Australia’s Marketing Director, emphasizes the significance of Infinitev’s holistic recycling process, which offers invaluable ‘second life’ prospects for their vehicle batteries.
The partnership is a testament to the evolving automotive industry’s commitment to sustainability as Australia steers towards an electrified future. With Infinitev’s meticulous SafetyCheck™ protocol and their comprehensive suite of battery lifecycle management solutions, they ensure the highest standards of safety and performance.
Infinitev’s three-tier classification system for battery modules – categorizing them for reuse in EV traction, repurposing for energy storage, or recycling to extract valuable materials – exemplifies their dedication to a greener Australia. This initiative is expected to play a crucial role in the Australian economy, especially with the projected surge in EV demand by 2030.
Infinitev, with its four-decade legacy in the automotive electronics re-engineering realm, is positioned as a pivotal player in reshaping the life and perception of EV and hybrid batteries. Mazda, celebrating over a century of innovation, continues to challenge the status quo with its new generation of hybrid vehicles, reinforcing its commitment to harmonious coexistence with our planet.
This synergy between Mazda and Infinitev marks a significant milestone, potentially setting new benchmarks in the industry for environmental stewardship and technological advancement.
