C2C GO-START
Supercapacitor solution for sustainable mobility
Early stage
The need
Trucks are responsible for moving at least 70 percent of goods in Europe. Although the battery has advanced in other applications, heavy vehicles still use the same lead-acid battery technology that causes dead-starts and excessive idling while the vehicle is stationary.
The solution
GO-START is a supercapacitor module especially made for EU trucks. Easy to install, GO-START is provided along with a deep-cycle battery, both of which are installed in the battery compartment as a plug and play solution. C2C is the first company to directly replace the original lead-acid batteries with a supercapacitor-based solution that does not require modifications to the vehicle.
The value proposition
- €1500 fuel savings per year.
- Drastic reduction of lead – a highly toxic metal.
- Reduction of need to replace battery.
- Reduction of costly road problems related to batteries.
