First ADR-spec bELV
Australian Design Rules (ADR) approved, means the ZED70 Ti is permitted to be driven on public roads. ADR provides operators with assurance that the vehicle meets Australian safety standards.
Meaning safety, reliability and peace of mind.
Ready for Underground Mining Use
Has passed validation testing and has been (ZED70 Ti) commissioned for underground mine use.
Surface battery charging controlled to provide regenerative braking during first descent.
Lithium Titanate (LTO) Battery

Safety Risk Reduction
At ZERO Automotive, we’re committed to Safety by Design. The ZED70 Ti LTO Battery Design features a boxed enclosure for added safety and risk reduction.
Battery TechnologiesPeace of Mind
We’ve thought through a wide range of charging solutions that will keep the ZED70 Ti on the road. Range anxiety is a thing of the past with clear battery range monitoring.
Charging SolutionsOur vehicles can be supplied with 2 main types of battery chemistry, each with its own benefits.
LTO
Lithium Titanate (Li2TiO3) — LTO
LTO batteries have very high level of safety and high power but are less energy dense. These cells have exceptional life cycle performance and do not degrade excessively when exposed to fast charging.
The LTO battery in the ZED70 Ti consists of individual 23Ah LTO cells combined into modules which provide a voltage of 330V, providing a capacity of 60kWh.
Safety by Design
In 2020, ZERO Automotive partnered with OZ Minerals and the Adelaide Metropolitain Fire Brigade to test and validate the LTO battery manufacturer’s claim of safety and stability and compared it to other common battery technologies within stressful environments.
The LTO battery in the ZED70 Ti consists of individual 23Ah LTO cells combined into modules which provide a voltage of 330V, providing a capacity of 60kWh.
