Motorsports
McMurtry Automotive: Faster cell evaluation
McMurtry Automotive used The Voltt and validated cell models to evaluate the transition from the Molicel P45B to P50B during early pack concept development.
Side by side modelling enabled rapid comparison of electrical and thermal behaviour, avoiding lengthy physical test campaigns. This approach reduced cell evaluation time by seven months, allowing the team to lock in cell selection and pack assumptions earlier while lowering technical risk and accelerating vehicle development.

Manufacturer Background
Advantelec
Advantelec is a French lithium-ion cell and battery system manufacturer
Advantelec is a French battery manufacturer founded in 2011 and headquartered in Vénissieux, near Lyon, designing lithium-ion pouch cells, battery packs with integrated management systems, and supporting electronics for professional applications. Its ADV-POWER® range spans NMC and semi-solid-state pouch chemistries, with high-energy variants reaching gravimetric energy densities of 340–350 Wh/kg. The company supplies rugged battery systems for uncrewed aerial vehicles, medical instrumentation and industrial equipment, where certification and traceability matter as much as raw performance. In 2024 Advantelec commissioned a pilot cell production line near Lyon, moving from pack integration into domestic cell manufacture and reducing its dependence on external cell suppliers. That vertical step positions the company as one of a small number of European producers offering sovereign supply of high-energy pouch cells for defence-adjacent and professional UAV programmes.
