Our Journey as HESSNER
At Hessner, our journey is not just about innovation; it's a story of real-world challenges, teamwork, and breakthroughs. It all began with our co-founders' pioneering efforts in launching a commercial "e-trike" passenger service in the Philippines. Operating this service firsthand, we encountered the pressing issues of high battery costs and limited lifespan - challenges that inhibit the mass adoption of e-trikes in the Philippines. This experience wasn't just an obstacle; it became our inspiration.
In the summer of 2023, driven by this challenge, we at Hessner introduced our first major innovation: an active supercapacitor module integrated into a Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) platform. This wasn't just another product; it was a game-changer designed to extend the battery life of low-speed electric vehicles, directly addressing the pain points we experienced in our early days.
But we didn't stop there! By December 2023, our vision expanded, and so did our solution. We launched our Battery-as-a-Service model, a pay-per-use service that revolutionized how operators managed and financed their battery needs. This is a leap forward for the industry, making sustainable transportation more accessible and viable for operators everywhere. We're not just developing products; we're crafting a more sustainable future, one innovation at a time.
"Our mission is to accelerate the transition to Electric for Low-Speed Vehicles"
The Problem
Across Southeast Asia, vehicle electrification adoption on low-speed commercial vehicles (3 and 4-wheeled LSEV) is hindered because of battery operating problems. In the Philippines as an example, less than 1% of commercial vehicle owners have shifted to electric.
The Key Barriers to Electric Conversion:
High Battery Cost and Short Lifetime
Existing low-speed vehicles use lead acid batteries which have short lifespans and increase operation costs.
Range Anxiety
Short range and up to 8 hours battery charging means loss of revenue
Our Solution - Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS)
Hessner is currently developing a BaaS platform that will offer:
Battery Swap Station
No more range anxiety with quick battery swapping when needed. Batteries can be swapped in minutes, no more loss of revenue.
Data Analytics
Hessner takes on the burden of battery life. The data analytic platform monitors the batteries' health and provides advanced notifications for the operator to take corrective action.
Pay-Per-Use
Reduce initial vehicle investment by up to 50%, pay-per-use as the operator gains income from passenger rides.
The Team
At the forefront of sustainable transportation and electrification, our team is a blend of visionaries with diverse expertise. With backgrounds in electrical engineering, international business development, and digital technologies, we are united in our commitment to pioneering the future of green transportation.
