One of Europe’s leading ultracapacitor manufacturers, Skelton Technologies, has assigned a distribution agreement with Sumitomo Corporation Europe.

The agreement aims to provide energy storage solutions to the hybrid electric and electric vehicle industry.

An ultracapacitor is a high-power energy storage device that has a recharge time of 2-3 seconds and over one million life cycles.

The two companies believe that ultracapacitors will bridge a gap in hybridisation and electrification efforts within the automotive sector.
