Flash Battery and ETP Partner to Accelerate Electrification of Off-Highway Applications in Northern Europe
12 June 2026
Flash Battery and ETP launch a strategic partnership for industrial electrification in Nordics countries, combining customised lithium batteries and system integration within an ecosystem where batteries, power electronics and software operate as one seamless system.
Northern Europe is currently one of the most advanced and dynamic markets for industrial electrification, driven by a strong focus on sustainability, technological innovation and energy efficiency. In this environment, OEMs are no longer simply looking for components, but for partners capable of supporting them throughout the entire development process, from application analysis to final system validation.
To address this evolving market demand, Flash Battery and ETP have established a strategic technology partnership focused on accelerating electrification across the Nordic market. Both companies share a strong commitment to technical expertise, customisation and the development of complete electrification solutions for industrial applications.
The agreement strengthens Flash Battery’s presence in Scandinavia and Northern Europe, one of Europe’s most advanced and rapidly growing markets for the electrification of industrial machinery, special-purpose vehicles and marine applications. The partnership leverages ETP’s extensive experience in system integration together with Flash Battery’s proprietary battery technology.
The collaboration between Flash Battery and ETP is the result of an extensive technical and strategic evaluation process during which both companies had the opportunity to explore their respective expertise, approaches and growth objectives.
From the very first discussions, a strong alignment emerged. Both organisations believe that the future of industrial electrification depends on close cooperation between complementary technologies, specialised expertise and a deep understanding of application requirements.
ETP brings nearly 50 years of experience in system integration and a well-established presence across the Nordic market. Flash Battery contributes its expertise in the development of customised lithium battery systems and proprietary technologies for intelligent energy management.
ETP: A System Integrator for Industrial Electrification in Northern Europe
Founded in 1978 and part of the Volito Industry Group, ETP is today a recognised reference point for the electrification of mobile and marine applications.
Headquartered in Sweden, the company develops solutions for drivetrains, hydraulics, mechatronics and system integration, supporting OEMs and manufacturers throughout the entire development process of electrified applications.
ETP's key application sectors include agricultural machinery, material handling, construction equipment, municipal and special-purpose vehicles, as well as off-highway and marine applications, industries where reliability, customisation and technical expertise are critical success factors.
With nearly five decades of experience, ETP’s distinctive strength lies in its ability to act as a complete system integrator, supporting customers from initial analysis and design through to final system validation, ensuring seamless integration of all system components.
Key strengths include:
- Extensive expertise in industrial electrification
- Advanced system integration capabilities
- Consultative approach and direct OEM support
- Strong strategic presence across the Nordic market;
- Local support and local stock.
"We are proud to begin our collaboration with Flash Battery, a partner that stands out through its high level of expertise in the development and production of customised battery solutions. For us, it was essential to find a supplier capable of adapting the technology to the customer's real needs and applications, an area where Flash Battery has demonstrated significant strength.
We also highly value that Flash Battery is a European company with full ownership and control of its own technology and development, ensuring high quality, flexibility and long-term innovation capability. Through their modular battery platform, Flash Battery can develop everything from small to large battery systems while maintaining the same integration approach regardless of battery size. This provides scalability, efficiency and a streamlined implementation process for customers across different applications.
What particularly distinguishes Flash Battery is its modern way of working, strong in-house technical expertise and clear ambition to continue evolving together with customers and partners. We look forward to a long-term collaboration where, together, we can contribute to the future of sustainable and efficient electrification solutions."
The reasons behind ETP’s decision to select Flash Battery reflect several factors that are becoming increasingly important for OEMs and system integrators involved in electrification projects.
The ability to develop fully customised lithium battery systems, combined with in-house expertise in electronics, firmware and software development, together with direct ownership of the underlying technologies, has become a strategic advantage for ensuring design flexibility and reduced development times.
Supporting the batteries is the Flash Balancing System, Flash Battery’s proprietary BMS, which continuously maintains cell balancing and incorporates advanced impedance spectroscopy analysis capabilities. This enables more accurate monitoring of cell health and the early detection of anomalies or degradation signals.
The ecosystem is further enhanced by the Flash Data Center, a cloud-based remote monitoring platform powered by AI and machine learning algorithms. The platform provides advanced self-diagnostics and predictive maintenance capabilities, enabling real-time analysis of battery health and operating conditions across installations worldwide, while identifying potential issues before they occur.
Together, these technologies create an integrated ecosystem capable of supporting a wide range of applications while maintaining high standards of reliability, efficiency and scalability.

The partnership between Flash Battery and ETP has been established with the goal of creating a robust and scalable collaboration model for the Nordic market, one of the most advanced and dynamic regions in industrial electrification.
This is not a traditional distribution agreement. Instead, the collaboration aims to build a strong technical and application support structure capable of guiding Northern European OEMs through every phase of their electrification projects, from system architecture definition to complete integration.
The partnership will focus on developing new electrification projects within industrial sectors offering the highest growth potential. In this context, Flash Battery’s expertise in customised lithium battery development for industrial applications complements ETP’s extensive know-how in off-highway system integration.
The objective is to provide the Nordic market with a more structured, customer-focused approach capable of supporting increasingly sophisticated projects, from prototype development through to serial production.
Within this framework, the role of powertrain system integrators will become increasingly important. The market is demanding partners capable of coordinating technologies, expertise and complex architectures, transforming individual components into complete turnkey electrification solutions.

The shared vision is clear: electrification is no longer simply a technological transition. It represents a structural transformation in the way future industrial machines are designed.
In this scenario, value will not be determined by individual components, but by the ability to combine technology, expertise and market knowledge to accelerate electrification in a sustainable and effective way.
The partnership with ETP represents another important milestone in Flash Battery’s strategy to build a European network of specialised industrial electrification partners, capable of supporting OEMs through local expertise and application-focused assistance in key markets.
"This partnership brings together two organisations that share the same approach to innovation: technical expertise, long-term vision and a strong customer focus. ETP contributes deep experience in system integration and direct knowledge of the Scandinavian market, while Flash Battery provides proprietary technology and more than 15 years of experience in industrial electrification. Together, we can support OEMs with a truly integrated approach, transforming technological complexity into reliable and practical solutions."
