JLR has signed a multi-year deal to use Fortescue’s advanced battery intelligence software, Elysia, in its next-generation electric vehicles. The software will help enhance JLR’s luxury vehicles with improved battery longevity, safety, and performance.
Starting with the new Range Rover
Electric, launching later this year, Fortescue’s Elysia software will
monitor all future JLR EVs. This will help to give clients a better
ownership experience with faster charging, improved reliability, and
increased range.
Monitoring battery health throughout its life
will support sustainability by making it easier to transition batteries
from electric vehicles to second-life applications.
Fortescue’s
innovative software uses physics-informed digital twins and
probabilistic artificial intelligence to identify and solve battery
issues, helping JLR optimise battery performance and safety for clients.
This
collaboration is part of JLR's Reimagine strategy to electrify all its
brands by 2030 and achieve carbon net zero by 2039. Fortescue has its
own ambitious decarbonisation goals, including eliminating emissions
from its operations by 2030 (Scope 1 & 2).
This strategic
collaboration allows JLR to gain detailed insights into battery
conditions, offering specific recommendations to improve performance
through software updates. Collaborations like this are key to
JLR’s Reimagine strategy. In December 2023, JLR partnered with Tata
Communications to connect 128 global sites with advanced digital
capabilities, supporting JLR’s vision of modern luxury and
sustainability.
