In a recent interview HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon shared insights into the company’s latest milestone — the arrival of the first industrial shipments of HPQ ENDURA+ lithium-ion battery cells.
✅ These industrial 18650 and 21700 cells, incorporating HPQ’s GEN3 silicon-based anode material, mark the transition from R&D validation to real-world performance testing.
✅ The first units have arrived at HPQ’s Montreal office and will now be distributed to industry partners and institutional testers across mobility, energy storage, and defense sectors.
✅ Novacium SAS, HPQ’s French partner, has established production capacity for up to 1.5 million 18650-format cells annually, giving the company flexibility to scale and meet growing demand.
