Company founded
Founded by Maurizio Cunningham-Brown to develop green, safe energy-dense batteries for transportation, energy storage and many other applications
Our mission is to transform the vehicle battery and energy storage markets with products that significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
Our patented, breakthrough Duophasic technologies enable modular battery designs which reduce cost and weight, and double energy density, compared to traditional products.
These technologies deliver lower cost batteries with significant, and sustainable, environmental and economic benefits.
Together with our customers and supply chain partners we will accelerate the drive to Net Zero
UBC exceeded Eurobat 2030 targets in 2021
43% reduction in weight
98% increase in energy density
The global climate change agenda requires urgent and sustained action to reduce carbon emissions and protect our planet. UBC technologies will play an important part in this challenge, delivering solutions for more sustainable transport and energy storage.
To optimise our opportunities we have adopted a Keiretsu structure to our business. We work with partners to accelerate research and development, and license our technologies to other manufacturers. Our goal is to enable broader adoption of our technologies to be achieved, more quickly.
We identify viable applications for our patented technologies and work with relevant partners to bring these into commercial reality. But we don’t stand still. The team in our dedicated Innovation Hub continues to work on further ground breaking technologies for sustainable battery power and energy storage.
First phase development highlights include:
Following successful prototyping and proof of concept trials, we have now commenced initial manufacturing of our first generation modular batteries, Duophasic COR. UBC is investing an initial £28 million in a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant, creating 500 jobs.
To enable the fastest possible globalisation of the benefits of our technologies, we have adopted a four-pronged approach to our business model:
Together, we will power a brighter future
UBC is a dynamic, technology-led organisation with a vision to revolutionise battery power, reduce vehicle emissions and store wasted generated energy. Our team is led by experienced entrepreneurs and proven innovators.
We have ambitious goals and have adopted a partnership approach to help get us there quicker. We set high standards and work hard, but we also recognise the need to strike the right balance between work and personal life.
We aim to be professional but approachable. We are a pragmatic organisation that gets things done but retains a sense of fun. We will always be friendly, caring and fair to all
Ultimate Battery Company will be recognised not just for our innovative technologies, and the benefits they bring for a more sustainable planet, but also for the way in which we do business.
We will be seen as a company that can be trusted to deliver on its promises and always be fair – to our people, our customers and our supply partners.
At UBC we also believe in being socially responsible. We have adopted a range of initiatives to support people back into work and create opportunities and life chances for all. We are creating a diverse workplace.
We have pledged to provide energy storage initiatives in emerging economies, via our dedicated social responsibility division, UBC BrightSpark. This supports our goal of Energy for Everybody.
We work with partners at every stage of our business. From research and development in association with leading universities, to licensing our technologies for rapid acceleration and deployment.
We work collaboratively with carefully chosen supply partners.
We are proud of the partnerships we have formed and look forward to creating many new ones.
