IAA 2024, Polish battery maker Impact aims to double battery production by the end of the year

Polish battery manufacturer Impact participates in IAA Transportation 2024. During the press conference, the company managers announced the will to double current battery production capacity by the end of 2024. This is made possible by what the company called “Europe’s most modern, highly automated” lithium-ion battery production line.

The new line, designed and manufactured by Teamtechnik, will allow the company to increase its generating capacity from 0.6 to 1.2 GWh in 2024, and ultimately to up to 4 GWh. With its launch, Impact has completed the investment in its new headquarters, GigafactoryX, which, in addition to production, houses the company’s key functions such as R&D, test laboratory and warehouse. All in the city of Pruszków, near Warsaw.

Impact’s battery production capacity up to 16,000 li-ion batteries per year

The new highly automated production line will increase Impact’s production capacity from 2,500 to at least 16,000 lithium-ion batteries per year. This means that a complete battery system dedicated to heavy transport will be made every 11 minutes, the supplier states.

The line structure consists of 22 stands and covers an area of 1,375 m² and uses the TS7 conveyor system from Bosch Rexroth, which can handle batteries with dimensions of 1.8 m x 0.5 m x 0.5 m and a maximum weight of up to 1 tonne (the average weight of a single battery is around 300 kg.).

“Thanks to Impact’s state-of-the-art production line and increased capacity, we will be able to deliver our advanced solutions to more customers, which will allow us to execute the company’s ambitious growth plans”, commented Ireneusz Kazimierski, CEO of Impact Clean Power Technology.
