KULR Technology Group, a leader in advanced energy management platforms, and Worksport a pioneer in solar-integrated tonneau covers and portable energy storage, have announced a strategic partnership focused on advancing battery technology and strengthening domestic manufacturing.

KLULR delivers energy storage solutions for space, aerospace, and defense by leveraging a foundation of in-house battery design expertise, comprehensive cell and battery testing suite, and battery fabrication and production capabilities. 

The collaboration centers on three key areas: joint battery pack development, thermal runaway protection, and AI-integrated battery management system (BMS) software design.

Key Areas of Collaboration

The collaboration centers on three key areas: 

• Joint Battery Pack Development: KULR and Worksport will work together on the development of Worksport’s COR Battery Pack System. This initiative will focus on optimizing BMS requirements, refining cell configurations, and improving overall system performance, safety, and reliability.

• Software (BMS + AI Integration): Both companies aim to incorporate AI-driven software into the BMS, enabling real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and advanced data analytics. These advancements will optimize power distribution, extend battery lifespan, and reinforce safety measures.

• Thermal Runaway Protection: The partnership will look to integrate KULR’s patented thermal runaway protection technology into Worksport’s battery systems. This enhancement is expected to significantly improve battery safety and longevity by mitigating thermal runaway risks.

Evaluating Battery Performance & Cost Efficiency

KULR will utilize its KULR One Design Solutions (K1-DS) to evaluate the performance, cost efficiency, and scalability of integrated battery solutions for the Worksport COR system. 

With the first generation of Worksport Solis and COR set for release in the second half of 2025, these studies will guide future development and innovation. The K1-DS platform includes advanced battery safety testing methodologies such as Fractional Thermal Runaway Calorimetry (FTRC), bomb calorimetry, and impingement zone mapping, ensuring thorough cell-level characterization and safety optimization.

Market Growth Related to Tariffs

As demand for U.S.-based production increases—fueled by President Donald Trump's emphasis on tariffs—KULR and Worksport are exploring domestic manufacturing options for the COR battery pack and related products. This strategic move aligns with growing market preferences for American-made energy solutions and positions both companies for long-term scalability and expansion.
