MILA Nordic Develops Sodium-Ion Battery Pack

MILA Nordic develops sodium-based battery pack with support from Innovationsfonden.

With increasing pressure on global battery supply chains and growing demand for electrification across industrial sectors, sodium-ion technology is emerging as a highly promising alternative. Unlike conventional lithium-ion chemistries – especially nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) – which rely on scarce and costly raw materials, sodium-ion batteries can be produced using abundant and lower-cost elements like sodium and iron.

“Electrifying industrial vehicles in Northern Europe demands more than ‘just’ a battery pack — it requires reliable performance, even in sub-zero temperatures, strict safety standards, and a technology that respects the environment,” says Mikkel Petersen, CCO and Co-Founder of MILA Nordic.

“Sodium-ion gives us exactly that. It handles cold climates, heavy-duty industrial use, and high safety expectations – without relying on scarce or costly materials. With support from Innovationsfonden, we’re building a battery pack that not only fits the Nordic market, but helps redefine what’s possible for sustainable, locally produced battery solutions for industrial vehicles.

The new sodium-ion battery pack is being developed at MILA Nordic’s facility in Roskilde, Denmark. It complements MILA Nordic’s existing product portfolio of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs for industrial vehicles, providing customers with a broader selection of chemistry options based on performance, sustainability, and price.

“Sodium batteries are not a replacement for existing chemistries like LFP — it’s an addition. By offering multiple battery technologies under one roof, we can tailor each battery solution to the unique needs of each customer.“
