SternantisIn cooperation with JuiceA subsidiary of Total energyhas presented the first prototype of the electric vehicle that is equipped Ibis (Integrated battery inverter system) Technology, an integrated Smart Battery system that promises to revolutionize energy storage and conversion in mobile and inpatient applications.
The prototype of the electric vehicle
The vehicle selected for this demonstration is a Peugeot E-3008Built on the StLA medium platform. This working prototype is the result of years of joint research between Stellantis, juice, E2-CAD, Sherpa engineering and prestigious French institutions such as that CNRSPresent Paris-Saclay University and the Institute Lafayette.
Ibis invents the electrical drive system By integrating the inverter and charger functions directly into the battery, regardless of its chemical composition. This architecture enables energy to supply energy for alternating and the same electricity, to supply the engine, the electrical network and the auxiliary systems of the vehicle, to simplify the design and to improve efficiency.
The technical advantages are significant: an improvement in energy efficiency of up to 10%, an increase in engine power by 15%, weight reduction of approx. 40 kg and release of up to 17 liters can be used. In addition, a reduction in loading time by 15% and 10% energy savings as well as simpler maintenance and higher potential for reuse of batteries were observed.
Ned Curic, director of engineering and technology at Stellantis, emphasized that “simplification innovation” is, while Hervé Amossé, Executive Vice President of Juice, underlined the management of his company in clever and sustainable energy solutions.
The second phase of the project began in June 2025, which was supported by the French government by the France 2030 program. It is expected that this technology can be integrated into Stellantis production vehicles by the end of the decade.
In addition to the automotive sector, IBIS has possible uses in the area of rail, aerospace, sea and data center sectors, cements stellantis and juice commitment to scalable and sustainable electrification.
The Ibis project, which started six years ago, is a pioneering cooperation between industry and academic research with the support of ademe and the French future investment plan. Its development reflects a strategic commitment to clean, efficient energy technologies that can be adapted to the challenges of the future.
