School Bus Powertrain System

Microvast’s KAF™ platform integrates both the traction drivetrain and the power system into one coordinated electrification solution for school buses. The drivetrain includes the electric drive and vehicle propulsion functions, while the power system combines LFP battery packs, onboard charging, thermal management, vehicle auxiliaries, and an independent nitrogen inerting safety subsystem

Engineered for Scalable Performance

This modular system design supports scalable vehicle range, strong traction performance, controlled electrical and thermal operation, and streamlined OEM integration.

Safety, Engineered at the System Level

The nitrogen generation and storage subsystem helps maintain dry, low-oxygen conditions within the battery packs to reduce the risk of thermal runaway and thermal propagation.

Intelligent Battery Management System

Microvast’s proprietary BMS 5.0 is the brain of the battery pack, responsible for monitoring cell voltages, module temperatures, and battery pack current. It detects isolation faults and controls the thermal management system. Our Battery Management System (BMS) 5.0 is the smart answer for extending battery pack lifetime and improving overall vehicle safety.

Safety and Compliance

Designed to meet automotive safety and cybersecurity standards (ISO 26262 and ISO 21434), with advanced fault detection and thermal management controls.

Extended Battery Life

Improved accuracy in state-of-charge and health monitoring helps extend battery lifespan and reduce operational costs.

Predictive Performance

Digital twin technology enables early issue detection and proactive maintenance, keeping systems running at peak performance.

Predict-Prevent-Protect

Our 3P safety framework actively identifies risks, prevents failures, and protects the system through intelligent controls and system-level intervention.

Advanced Energy Balancing

State-of-the-art equalization maximizes battery capacity and ensures consistent power distribution across the system.
