ProLogium and OPmobility have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop solid-state battery modules for electric vehicles. The agreement takes ProLogium’s lithium ceramic cells into module and pack integration under a phased evaluation programme, with OEM adoption as the shared objective. The collaboration is designed to validate whether cell-level performance translates to module and pack level, with OEM evaluation as the stated end point.

What the solid-state battery module collaboration covers

In the first phase, ProLogium will supply cells to OPmobility for electrical performance testing under protocols ProLogium sets in advance. OPmobility then takes on the design, development and manufacturing of modules built around those cells. The shared target is a module solution that OEMs can adopt for future EV platforms.

Both firms also plan to align test protocols and engineering workflows. By converging early, they aim to flag integration challenges sooner and make later OEM evaluation more efficient. The companies note that any cooperation will sit within applicable competition law.

OPmobility runs the battery work through its C-Power business group, led by Executive Vice President Youssef Souiba.

Cell metrics behind the solid-state battery module

ProLogium reports its superfluidized all-inorganic lithium ceramic battery reaches 900 Wh/L volumetric and 380 Wh/kg gravimetric energy density. The company also reports charging from 5 to 80 percent in roughly 6.4 minutes. For durability, it cites more than 1,200 cycles and over 95 percent discharge performance at minus 20 degrees Celsius.

These figures describe cell behaviour, not finished modules. The collaboration therefore centres on validating whether those advantages survive once cells are engineered into modules and packs. ProLogium positions itself as the only company able to publicly demonstrate a solid-state battery mass-production line, having shipped more than 800,000 cells to date.

What comes next for the partnership

Neither company has set a timeline for module deliveries. The next steps run through agreed test protocols and joint module development, with OEM adoption as the stated goal. ProLogium founder and CEO Vincent Yang framed system integration and validation – from cells through modules to packs – as the decisive factor for solid-state batteries reaching the market.

OPmobility C-Power president Youssef Souiba said the partnership strengthens the group’s ability to anticipate what global automakers need, and described it as aligned with OPmobility’s strategy to design and assemble battery packs regardless of cell technology. OPmobility CEO Félicie Burelle called the agreement a milestone in the group’s electrification ambitions, coming shortly after the company announced a battery pack supply award for a global OEM covering passenger cars in the US market.
