Forsee Power has partnered with Toyota, the official partner of the 2024 summer sports event, to equip 250 Accessible People Movers (APM) with their battery solutions. These APMs will autonomously transport athletes within sports venues, covering up to 100 km with clean and silent mobility.

The APM can carry 6 people, including the driver, and is designed for flexible use. It features foldable seats to accommodate wheelchair users. Additionally, an emergency version is available, designed for medical assistance, capable of transporting a stretcher and medical personnel.

In Paris, street sweepers and washers are operating at full capacity to ensure high service levels.

The AZURA and AQUADYNE models from the French family business Mathieu, now equipped with Forsee Power’s ZEN 8 SLIM batteries, operate entirely on electric power. This eliminates greenhouse gas emissions and reduces noise pollution in urban areas.

During this summer’s sports event, the vehicles will ensure a high level of cleanliness in the French capital, operating silently and without emissions.

We are also active in Île-de-France, where we supply our PULSE 15 battery systems to Kiepe Electric’s electric powertrains for Van Hool’s fast-charging buses.

The buses operate on the TZen 4 line (Viry-Chatillon to Corbeil-Essonnes station) and the TZen 5 line (connecting Paris to Choisy-le-Roi via Ivry-sur-Seine and Vitry-sur-Seine in just 33 minutes).

The high-power LTO technology allows the buses to operate all day with just a few minutes of charging. This enables them to run 24/7 autonomously, 365 days a year.
