BorgWarner Battery System to Power HOLON’s Autonomous Shuttle
- First autonomous vehicle equipped with BorgWarner battery technology
- Marks first contract BorgWarner has secured with HOLON, a company of the BENTELER Group
- Battery system features the latest generation cell chemistry and benchmark-setting energy density
Auburn Hills, Michigan, October 30, 2025 – BorgWarner, a global product leader in delivering innovative and sustainable mobility solutions, has secured a contract to supply its battery system to the all-new HOLON urban, a 15-person, Level 4 autonomous, fully electric shuttle. The contract marks BorgWarner’s first supply of battery technology for autonomous vehicles produced in North America.
BorgWarner will supply its lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) 5AKM 157 cylindrical cell (CYC) battery system for the HOLON urban. Each vehicle will feature two battery packs, each equipped with an integrated, replaceable contactor box and a multi-pack controller. The 57 kWh battery packs incorporate a modular design with cylindrical NMC cells, which offer the latest generation cell chemistry and benchmark-setting energy density. Additionally, BorgWarner’s NMC battery system is protected by a robust stainless steel battery case and uses a compact, active liquid cooling system.
“BorgWarner has extensive experience with smart and integrated battery management systems and excels in energy density, scalability and robust safety certifications – all key components to this exciting new application,” said Henk Vanthournout, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Battery and Charging Systems. “Working with an innovator like HOLON is a great fit for our team. They aim to provide safe, sustainable and inclusive transportation solutions, aligning with our overall sustainability strategy and vision to create a clean, energy-efficient world.”
BorgWarner leveraged their battery pack know-how to design a pack that fits the customer’s space and performance needs of the HOLON urban. The pack features the latest BorgWarner-developed software and proven multi-pack controller, which meets cybersecurity and functional safety requirements.
Flavio Friesen, VP Engineering at HOLON confirms: “BorgWarner is a strong fit for HOLON: their battery platform combines benchmark energy density with robust safety, cybersecurity, and serviceability. The modular, liquid-cooled two-pack system integrates perfectly with our shuttle’s packaging and uptime requirements, supporting not only our North American rollout, but also the demands in Europe and the Middle East regions.”
BorgWarner’s battery system is Buy America compliant and satisfies the Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) restriction, further supporting its contract with HOLON. Manufacturing is scheduled to start in Q2 2027 in Seneca, South Carolina.
