Reva GmbH from Wernau is a battery specialist and is currently developing its own electric car. Batteries are not only found in private cameras or cell phones. Emergency lighting, mouse traps, defibrillators, diving lamps, tracking devices and, in the future, increasingly cars will also use the practical technology to provide electricity without a socket.
The company is one of the leading system suppliers for rechargeable batteries and battery systems in Europe.
With its own cell development, pack design and battery management systems, Reva says it sets global standards for innovative mobile energy storage, from prototype construction to large-scale production. In recent years, the two-man company founded in has become a medium-sized, international company that now employs almost people and, thanks to the constant optimization of energy storage systems, is able to meet the growing demand for lithium-ion and lithium-polymer technology.
The raw material is mainly supplied by a Japanese company. Reva itself then specifies the batteries according to customer requirements. This is where everything from prototypes to small series is built. Large series are produced in Ellwangen and in Stribro in the Czech Republic. Reva supplies all types of batteries that are proven on the market, which are also equipped with electronic components. Temperature sensors protect the sensitive batteries from overheating.
In addition to equipment for electric bicycles or medical technology products, there are also more spectacular orders and requests. For example, Reva developed the cells for all emergency lighting systems on the Airbus A The entire system must be able to be heated and cooled. The batteries must be waterproof and able to withstand high pressure differences. Reva's system solutions are used in many applications that require a powerful and reliable mobile power supply. A particularly unusual order came from a customer who runs a large warehouse.
