Across many major European cities, more and more companies are using E-cargo bikes to deliver their goods on time quickly, inexpensively, and in a way that’s good for the environment. These bicycles are suited for transporting loads quickly and inexpensively across short and medium distances without producing any exhaust emissions. In addition, switching to a bicycle promotes health. Besides environmental aspects, cargo bikes offer practica...

The Range Extender is a recently launched energy dispenser shaped like a bicycle water bottle that delivers the extra reserve energy that riders of E-bikes need on the go. The device can be mounted on the bike with just a few motions whenever it’s needed or during a break. The additional energy is then available to the bike through the existing charging port.

For the fourth time, BMZ GmbH has been selected as one of the winners of the “Bavaria’s best 50” competition organised by the Bavarian state ministry of economic affairs, infrastructure, transport and technology in Germany. BMZ GmbH was distinguished for its particularly strong growth. In recent years BMZ has made outstanding improvements in its turnover and number of employees. Turnover was around 460 million US ...

Additional connectivity solutions have been integrated into the BMZ Drive System from BMZ. A smartphone is used to link the E-bike to an intelligent network. This brings new features to the vehicle like social media community interactions.

Around 650 employees of the BMZ Group in Poland have moved into the new company facility “Alberta Einsteina.” During the move production continued without interruption. BMZ Poland is focusing on developing E-bus batteries for public transportation.  

  BMZ Energy Storage Systems offer an economical way to store electricity for commercial plants with photovoltaic components. This allows commercial and industrial customers to use inexpensive electricity for operations around the clock.

With the new lithium ion energy storage option – the BMZ Energy Storage Systems (ESS) – both private and commercial solar system operators have the ability to inexpensively store solar energy during the day, then use it in their own homes or businesses as needed. The new storage system, designated ESS 9.0, has a rated capacity of 85kWh and a lower specific price than its little brother, the ESS 7.0.

The BMZ Group has developed large-scale batteries for vehicles like buses, forklifts, cranes, sweepers, commercial vehicles in harbours and airports, E-taxis, industrial trucks, and E-boats. The advantages of BMZ lithium-ion battery technologies are their quick-charging capabilities and long service life of up to 20 years.

  Whether they are used in the automotive sector, electric bicycles, tools, energy networks, or industrial manufacturing; batteries play an increasing role in society, and it’s safe to say they are at the heart of many different devices and systems.

As of the model year 2017, BMZ GmbH offers a warranty of four years on e-bike batteries to the customers of the ZEG Zweirad-Einkaufs-Genossenschaft eG (“bicycle purchasing cooperative”). For this purpose, BMZ and ZEG have signed a service agreement. According to the agreement, BMZ offers a warranty to the buyers of ZEG e-bikes that their batteries will have a residual capacity of more than 60% after ...

Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the e-mobility flagship project “Adaptive City Mobility (ACM) 2” opens up new approaches with its innovative lightweight electric car CITY eTAXI - especially designed for urban living spaces. Due to its novel modular battery replacement system, which was specially developed for this project by Europe’s leading lithium-ion battery producer BMZ, the CITY eTAXI ...

To meet the rapidly growing demand for intelligent lithium-ion storage solutions in a wide variety of sizes in the future, BMZ is investing 45 million euro by 2020 in the extension of it’s development and manufacturing capacities at the company’s headquarters in Karlstein near Aschaffenburg. The first two of a total of six new production, laboratory and office buildings are to go into operation in 2015.

The smart networking of electric vehicles, energy storage systems and battery powered machines could contribute to easing the burden on and stabilization of our power grids in just a few years' time. A fundamental requirement towards the further expansion of electromobility and the system-wide, bidirectional use of existing electrochemical storage systems is, however, the availability of modular battery systems that communicate with each other. H...

BMZ will start construction of Europe’s first highly automated rechargeable battery production plant at the company’s headquarters in Karlstein near Aschaffenburg. It will be possible to almost fully automatically assemble, weld and test up to 200,000 rechargeable batteries to individual customer requirements annually in the 800 m² of the large new production facility’s first expansion stage, which is expected to be completed by the beginn...

Even weighting up to 70% less than comparably high-capacity lead batteries, they last up to 5x as long and also contribute to cutting fuel consumption by up to 0.3 l/100 km. These are just three of the many benefits of the new highly safe Lithium Powerbloc Series – one presented by BMZ at electronica 2012 in Hall B2 / Stand 474 and made possible from the use of the high-tech lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) technology.

Sven Bauer, the co-founder and present sole owner of Batterien-Montage-Zentrum GmbH, has been awarded the prestigious title of “Entrepreneur of the Year 2012” by the international auditing and accountancy group Ernst & Young.

In parallel to the ongoing expansion of its own production facilities in Germany, Poland and China, BMZ Batterien-Montage-Zentrum, a specialist designer and manufacturer of intelligent battery solutions, with BMZ USA Inc. has now opened its first own production plant in Virginia Beach in the US state of Virginia specifically for the North American market.
