HVBS-360-50 (battery module)

2026: Production start-up

In March 2026, Rubrux launched the production of the first domestic battery module HVBS-360-50. The product is intended for electric transport and industrial equipment. The development was carried out on the basis of sodium-ion battery cells and belongs to the Skolkovo participant (ВЭБ.РФ group).

According to Skolkovo, the project received support from the fund in the form of microgrants in the amount of more than 1 million rubles in 2024. These funds made it possible to create a prototype and test it. Anton Skibin, head of power at the Skolkovo Foundation, noted that the check confirmed the effectiveness of the module. The next stage will be to expand the HVBS line and create new device configurations.

A distinctive feature of the new module is the combination of sodium-ion elements of the latest generation with Russian electronics. The battery control system (BMS) uses microcontrollers manufactured by NIIET (part of the Element Group of Companies).

The technical parameters of the HVBS-360-50 module include a nominal voltage of 360 V and an energy capacity of 18 kWh. The product is capable of operating in a wide temperature range - from -40 to + 50 degrees Celsius and is designed for several thousand charging and discharging cycles.

The company emphasizes the advantages of sodium-ion technology over lithium-ion analogues. Such batteries retain a high capacity at temperatures up to -30 degrees, while the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries under these conditions decreases.

The scope of the new module covers electric vehicles, hybrid cars, communal, airfield and special equipment. In addition, the device can be used in energy storage systems (ESS), network drives and autonomous power complexes, as well as as components of backup power supplies.^[1]
