Electrovaya will provide its cells with unparalleled safety and cycle life performance to the OEM. The OEM will assemble the cells into electric bus batteries. Deliveries start in Q4, CY 2016 and then grow quickly into 2017. The MoU also sets out the specific cell pricing and specific cells sizes and energy capacity to be delivered to the OEM.
