XL Hybrids has contracted with Johnson Controls  to supply lithium-ion battery packs for hybrid power trains for light-duty vehicles used by commercial fleets.  The ten-person start up provides hybrid electric powertrains for the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans.  The spiral-wound lithium nickel cobalt aluminum cells will have 1.8 KWH of energy storage. The battery pack is being developed at JCI's Holland, Michigan, manufacturing facility.  "Purchasing a battery pack manufactured in the USA was an additional bonus as we are committed to supporting domestic production," said Clay Siegert, VP Supply Chain, at XL Hybrids.
