Building a Better Battery
"How is the advanced battery business these days? It depends where you aim your sights. If they are trained on Texaco Ovonic Battery Systems, the answer is a good one because this firm recently opened its new 170,000 square foot battery manufacturing plant in Springboro, Ohio, more than doubling the size of the plant it replaced. Partially owned by ChevronTexaco, Texaco Ovonic Battery Systems is helping bring advanced nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries into widespread commercial production for battery electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles. Future annual production capacity at the plant is estimated at 1.2 million battery modules when fully quipped."

According to Texaco Ovonic (a 50-50 joint venture between a unit of ChevronTexaco and ECD Ovonics' subsidiary, Ovonic Battery Company), value creation will flow from sales of integrated systems, not individual batteries. "We take the commodity out of the business," says Boutan. "We are not a battery vendor; we're a solutions provider."
