LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Romeo Power, Inc. (“Romeo Power” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RMO), an energy technology leader delivering advanced electrification solutions for complex commercial vehicle applications, today announced that it has begun shipping the first production pedigree packs to a key customer that manufactures fully electric heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
This successful production launch is the culmination of a custom pack development program using Romeo’s off-the-shelf modules and battery management system. The 80 kWh packs were prototyped and manufactured in Romeo’s 112,000 square foot factory in Vernon, California.
“Romeo has just achieved a major milestone, not only for ourselves, but for zero-emissions commercial transportation as a whole. Our energy-dense batteries now power fully electric heavy-duty vehicles that are expected to travel up to 350 miles on a single charge,” said Susan Brennan, Romeo’s Chief Executive Officer. “It’s thrilling to see our battery technology enable this important step in electrification.”
Romeo will continue to expand production capacity for this and other customers in its new Cypress factory. Production is scheduled to commence in the new factory later this year with the transition from Vernon to Cypress expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2022.
