MILLOR ENERGY SOLUTIONS SL

Their core work

Millor Energy Solutions (trading as Millor Battery) is a Spanish SME that develops high-performance batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles. They focus on battery systems for a wide range of vehicle types — from light electric vehicles and motorcycles to heavy-duty trucks and buses. Their work spans battery design, e-mobility integration, and smart charging solutions for urban transport applications.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Millor Battery entered H2020 in 2018 with a feasibility study (SME-1) for their battery technology, then quickly scaled to a full innovation project (SME-2) in 2019 with over EUR 1.1M in funding — a classic SME Instrument Phase 1-to-Phase 2 progression. Their scope broadened from a general EV battery concept to specific applications across vehicle categories (motorcycles, buses, trucks) and integration with urban mobility systems via GreenCharge. The trajectory shows a company moving from R&D validation toward market-ready products for diverse transport segments.

Moving from battery R&D toward commercial deployment across multiple vehicle classes, with growing interest in smart charging and urban mobility integration.

How they like to work

Millor Battery operates primarily as a project leader — they coordinated 2 out of 3 projects, both through the competitive SME Instrument scheme, which signals strong standalone capability and business ambition. Their single participation in GreenCharge (a larger Innovation Action with 18 consortium partners across 6 countries) shows they can also contribute as a specialist partner in bigger consortia. For potential collaborators, expect a self-directed company that knows what it wants to build and brings concrete battery technology to the table.

Through 3 projects, Millor Battery has connected with 18 unique partners across 6 countries, primarily through the GreenCharge consortium. Their network spans multiple European countries, giving them a reasonable footprint for an early-stage SME.

What sets them apart

Millor Battery is one of few SMEs that targets the full spectrum of electric vehicle battery needs — from motorcycles and light EVs to buses and trucks — rather than specializing in a single vehicle class. Their successful progression through both phases of the SME Instrument demonstrates that independent EU evaluators validated their technology and business model twice. Based near Barcelona (Cerdanyola del Vallès, home to the UAB research campus), they sit at the intersection of academic research infrastructure and industrial application.

Highlights from their portfolio

• BATTERY PLUS (Phase 2)
  Their flagship project at EUR 1.2M, coordinated by Millor — a full SME Instrument Phase 2 focused on batteries for the complete range of electric vehicles from motorcycles to trucks.
• GreenCharge
  A multi-partner Innovation Action where Millor contributed battery expertise to a broader smart charging and energy neighborhood ecosystem, showing their technology in a systems-integration context.
