Caterham is revolutionizing its electric vehicle (EV) lineup with the introduction of immersion-cooled battery packs for its upcoming EV sports coupé, Project V. Developed by XING Mobility Inc., this advanced battery technology sets a new benchmark in efficiency, safety, and energy density, aligning perfectly with Caterham’s commitment to innovation and performance.
A New Chapter in EV Performance
Project V, unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2023 and later at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January 2024, embodies the essence of Caterham’s DNA: lightweight, simple, and exhilarating to drive. This prototype sports coupé is a significant leap forward for Caterham as it moves toward mass production and commercialisation, expected in 2025.
Collaborating with TOKYO R&D Co., Ltd. and Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., Caterham is pushing the boundaries of EV technology. The announcement of Yamaha’s e-Axle in October marked a major milestone, and the decision to integrate XING Mobility’s IMMERSIO™ Cell-to-Pack immersion-cooled battery further enhances Project V’s cutting-edge capabilities.
Why Immersion-Cooled Batteries Matter
XING Mobility’s IMMERSIO™ battery packs leverage dielectric liquid immersion to ensure rapid and uniform heat dissipation, delivering unparalleled safety and efficiency. With an impressive energy density of 200 Wh/kg, this technology provides top-tier performance while maintaining high safety standards.
Founded in 2015, XING Mobility has become a global leader in immersion-cooling technology, with a state-of-the-art production facility in Taiwan. Their collaboration with Caterham underscores a shared vision for innovative, high-performance EV solutions.
Looking Ahead
Project V’s next showcase will be at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January 2025, offering an updated glimpse into the future of Caterham’s EV ambitions. With its lightweight design, advanced components, and immersive driving experience, Project V is poised to redefine electric sports cars.
