Panasonic Energy to supply 2170 cells for Zoox’s next-gen robotaxi fleet
Panasonic Energy has signed an agreement to supply cylindrical lithium-ion battery cells to power Zoox’s robotaxi fleet. Under the multi-year agreement, Panasonic will deliver its latest 2170 battery cells beginning in early 2026 to support Zoox‘s growing robotaxi service and operations. Zoox recently opened its first robotaxi serial production facility in Hayward, California, to produce these vehicles at scale. It also launched its robotaxi ride-hailing service in Las Vegas, making it the first company to provide a fully driverless ride-hailing service in a purpose-built robotaxi.
