November 18, 2024 – LFP batteries are known for their exceptional safety, with high resistance to overheating, punctures, and physical damage. Unlike traditional lithium-cobalt batteries, LFP batteries are extremely resistant to overheating, punctures, and other forms of physical damage. In fact, they can withstand extreme conditions without the risk of fire or explosion. In the unlikely event of a fire, they can even be extinguished with water or fire extinguishers. This makes them an ideal choice for PRM-transportation vehicles, where passenger safety is our top priority.
Though slightly larger and heavier than traditional lithium-ion batteries, LFP batteries deliver reliable high performance for PRM-transportation. They maintain excellent range, with faster charge and discharge rates, ensuring quick turnaround times in high-demand operations. Them having a Longer life cycle is another major benefit. LFP batteries last longer with minimal degradation over time, offering a cost-effective solution without the need for compromising on performance. They are also cheaper to produce, thanks to the absence of expensive materials like cobalt. Not only that, some of the traditional Lithium-Ion variants have been linked to serious ethical and environmental concerns. By switching to LFP batteries, we reduce our environmental impact and support more sustainable production practices.
For our customers, this shift means you’ll enjoy safer, longer-lasting, and more sustainable Mobby vehicles from now on. You can enjoy all the benefits of a smooth and seamless PRM-operations whilst also contributing to a better, cleaner world for everyone!
FAQ Block
Here are some frequently asked questions you might have regarding this news topic. For other questions you might have, you can refer to our FAQ-page.
Yes, upon request we can provide information on material usage per product and its main components (such as steel, aluminium, plastics, and electronics).
Although we do not currently conduct a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for each product, we are working on the structured collection of data regarding raw material consumption, packaging materials, and transport flows. For tenders or ESG reporting, we can provide relevant input where possible.
Our products are designed with a long service life and maintainability as core principles. Many of the materials used — such as aluminium, steel, and certain plastics — are suitable for recycling at the end of the product’s life cycle.
While the products are not certified as fully circular systems, we use modular components that can easily be replaced or reused. This significantly extends the lifespan of the products and prevents unnecessary replacement of complete systems.
We manufacture locally in the Netherlands or within Europe, with short supply chains, small-scale production, and minimal waste. Our suppliers are selected based on quality, reliability, and transparency in their production processes. Our approach includes:
- minimal packaging and reusable protective materials during transport;
- energy-efficient production and assembly;
- responsible disposal of cutting waste and surplus components.
We continue to invest in improvement and transparency throughout our supply chain.
Yes. We offer customers the option to return end-of-life batteries and electrical components via our aftersales department for responsible recycling in accordance with European regulations. Complete products can also be returned at the end of their service life — by request and in consultation — for dismantling or processing. We are happy to coordinate a suitable logistical and practical solution with you.
For larger fleet replacements, we provide support with replacement or trade-in processes, including the take-back of older models.
Sustainability is a structural part of our business operations. Measures we take include:
- Local assembly and short supply chains;
- Products with a long service life and low maintenance requirements;
- Reuse of transport materials;
- Digital workflows where possible (instead of paper documentation);
- Active participation in sustainable mobility projects with airports and healthcare institutions.
We continue to invest in sustainable innovation, including lighter materials, modular designs, and future-oriented drive technologies.
