Company Overview
Microtron Technologies is a leading developer of advanced storage system technology. Using an holistic approach, Microtron leveraged advancements in materials science, storage cell design, and embedded controls to create hybrid batteries that leverage the best features of lithium batteries and advanced graphene-based capacitors. This hybrid technology has commercially achieved substantial improvements in key metrics such as a 10X improvement in charge and discharge rates over most Lithium-ion technologies and a 10X improvement in energy density over supercapacitors. All this is achieved with a wide operating temperature window, exceptionally high cycle life and dramatically improved safety. We believe this technology will end the recent phenomena of “range anxiety” that only exists because, until now, no one developed a vehicle that could charge as fast as a gas tank can be filled. Furthermore, this hybrid technology will enable a new era of autonomous vehicles and work vehicles that can have virtually 100% operational uptime.
Corporate Philosophy
At Microtron we believe that advanced energy storage is one of the key building blocks of a clean and sustainable future. In particular the electrification of many vehicle types has the potential to not only dramatically reduce air pollution but improve safety and performance.
Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.
