The newly established WLF Energy Group is acquiring PEM Motion’s Battery Management Systems (BMS) business unit and Cellovate GmbH, strengthening its position as a vertically integrated platform across the entire energy storage value chain. For PEM Motion, the transaction enables a sharper strategic focus on its core areas of Battery Testing & Compliance, Battery Analysis, Engineering Services, and Training & Operations Support. Both companies view this step as an important contribution to accelerating the development of high-performance and sustainable battery systems in Europe.

PEM Motion explores the potential of hybrid sodium-ion and lithium-ion battery systems for stationary energy storage. The article highlights how combining both technologies can improve efficiency, low-temperature performance, lifetime, and cost-effectiveness through advanced BMS architectures and intelligent energy management.

PEM Motion has joined the FastBat battery innovation cluster alongside 13 partners from research and industry to accelerate the development of safer, more efficient, and sustainable battery technologies. Supported by €50 million in public funding, the initiative aims to strengthen innovation and drive structural transformation in Germany’s Rheinisches Revier region. The project focuses on faster battery development processes, advanced testing and validation methods, smart Battery Management Systems (BMS), and knowledge transfer between research, industry, and start-ups to foster long-term economic growth and industrial competitiveness.

The EU will replace its current cybersecurity framework for radio equipment with the Cyber Resilience Act by December 2027. This shifts compliance from one time certification to ongoing lifecycle security. Manufacturers must adapt to stricter requirements like continuous risk management and long term updates, making early preparation essential.

Battery innovation is accelerating, but not only at the cell level or in chemistry. From solid-state progress and alternative chemistries to structural battery designs, intelligent BMS software, and circular value chains, 2026 is all about understanding the "big picture."

LEV fires aren’t random accidents. They’re the result of weak design, poor manufacturing, and ignored safety standards. Lithium-ion batteries fail fast and violently when risks aren’t managed. The real question isn’t whether fires can happen it’s whether they were preventable.

Micromobility is moving fast, and batteries are carrying the risk. High energy density enables lighter, longer-range vehicles but only if it’s managed safely. The real challenge isn’t adding more power. It’s controlling it before something goes wrong.

FOFO is human. But in technology, it's costly and can endanger reputation of both engineers and companies. The real danger isn’t finding out what’s wrong. It’s not choosing to find out.

The new state-of-the-art laboratory for battery cell analysis enables PEM Motion to perform more efficient and comprehensive cell characterization.

PEM Motion and BENNING CMS Technology have jointly developed a Matlab-based software model that enables seamless integration of an algorithm into industrial BMS solutions without the need for additional hardware, lengthy development cycles, or modifications to safety-critical system components.

Due diligence in engineering is less about legal checklists and more about being able to stand behind your decisions when they are challenged. In this article you will learn about: · Three simple questions every engineer should be able to answer to prove due diligence · Why your family’s opinion might be the ultimate test of your actions · How to build safety not as a task, but as a habit

Smoke, sweat, and sharp thinking — that’s a day in the life of our Battery Test Engineer, Nico Gossen. Battery testing involves hands-on work, real-time problem-solving, and a strong focus on safety, precision, and teamwork. From home energy systems to electric vehicles, this role is essential to making sure batteries are reliable and safe. Take a few minutes to read his interview
