Supporting the Transition to Industrial Electrification

Electrification is progressing rapidly across industrial vehicle applications, driven by increasing demands for efficiency, sustainability and lower operating costs. At the same time, varying machine architectures, operating environments and duty cycles are increasing the demand for flexible, scalable and application-specific battery systems that can deliver reliable long-term performance in demanding conditions.

The new Rhino platform is built around a simplified and scalable high-voltage architecture, combining higher energy density with robust safety, rapid charging capability and long operational lifetime. Developed for real-world industrial use, Rhino is engineered to deliver reliable performance in applications where uptime, durability and efficiency are business critical. 

Supporting voltage ranges up to 800V, the platform enables efficient integration into next-generation electrified machinery and heavy-duty vehicles. The optimised system design reduces complexity while maintaining the high safety and reliability standards required in demanding operating environments. 

Designed for continuous heavy-duty operation, Rhino battery systems provide stable power delivery and excellent price-performance ratio — helping OEMs and operators lower total cost of ownership without compromising performance. 

Key benefits and features of the next-generation Rhino platform:

• Higher energy density with simplified construction 
• Voltage range up to 800V 
• Excellent price-performance ratio 
• Rapid charging capability 
• Extended operational lifespan 
• LFP chemistry with IEC certification for safe and reliable performance  
• Built on proven large-format cells developed for commercial vehicle  
• Volumetric energy density up to 215 Wh/l 
• Scalable architecture to support wide application range

Our battery systems are certified according to IEC 62619, validating compliance with electrical and mechanical battery safety requirements. In addition, the Rhino platform has been functionally safety certified according to ISO 13849, achieving Performance Level D (PLd) for safety-related functions.

Sustainability has been an important part of the development process as well. From material selection to manufacturing processes, the Rhino platform has been designed with long-term environmental responsibility in mind and is produced in an EcoVadis Gold certified factory.

With the next-generation Rhino platform, Celltech continues to support OEMs and industrial customers with reliable electrification solutions developed for challenging operating conditions — proven where it matters.
