</p>
<p><strong>Key features:</strong></p>
<ul><li>Improved safety and reliability (1): Utilizing the knowledge it has gained through long-term collaborative development with its customers, Panasonic designs and manufactures its batteries based on the way they are to be used.</li>
<li>Improved safety and reliability (2): Panasonic has achieved battery redundancy through a unique parallel structure using its cylindrical batteries.</li>
</ul><h3>Development of industry-leading, next-generation automotive batteries — Further battery advancement through high energy density and environmental performance</h3>
<ul><li>Improved capacity: Panasonic has achieved early development of high-capacity batteries with five times more storage capacity using new 4680 cells, contributing to the popularization of environmentally friendly vehicles (lower costs, improved productivity, enhanced range, etc.)</li>
<li>Reduced use of cobalt: As a leading resource-saving measure, Panasonic makes use of a cathode active material to achieve a large reduction in the amount of cobalt used. This ensures the environmental friendliness of the resources used and reduces resource-related risks. (Panasonic has developed cobalt-free battery technology, and can undertake mass production within a few years if demand arises)</li>
