The three companies will jointly showcase, for the first time at CES 2026, a 24V solid-state battery module powered by ProLogium solid-state batteries. The module is also planned for integration into two groundbreaking zero-emission construction machines — the MSD700 and NE100HBJ. This partnership not only establishes a vertically integrated ecosystem spanning from battery cell to end product, but also marks a major breakthrough for solid-state batteries in industrial and heavy machinery applications. Together, the companies aim to set a new benchmark for the global energy transition and smart construction solutions.","length":954,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Responding to the urgent global demand in industrial and engineering sectors for safer, more efficient, and more sustainable energy solutions — and as the safety and performance challenges of conventional lithium batteries become increasingly evident — Vincent Yang, Founder and CEO of ProLogium, stated: "ProLogium's next-generation solid-state lithium ceramic battery features a unique Super-fluidized All Inorganic Solid State Electrolyte (combining a non-flammable all-inorganic electrolyte with an Active Safety Mechanism (ASM) that is released under high temperature and high voltage to stabilize the active materials of both the cathode and anode. This enables the battery to truly interrupt thermal chain reactions and achieve the ultimate goal of eliminating thermal runaway, fundamentally addressing the risks of thermal runaway and combustion found in conventional batteries. Through our co-development of a 24V module with Kyushu Electric Power, and its ultimate integration into construction machinery by Nakayama Iron Works, this deep partnership not only expands solid-state battery applications into broad industrial fields such as construction machinery, but also delivers unprecede...
