Delta Air Lines and ProLogium announced a memorandum of understanding on January 7 2026 to jointly develop next‑generation battery energy‑management systems. The partnership combines ProLogium’s solid‑state battery technology— which replaces polymer separators with ceramic to improve safety and energy density— with Delta’s power‑management and thermal‑management expertise.
The collaboration aims to create advanced systems for a range of battery applications, including future electric aircraft. ProLogium’s solid‑state cells are said to offer higher energy density and faster charging, while Delta’s experience in aviation power systems will help integrate the batteries into complex aircraft environments.
Delta’s sustainability strategy targets net‑zero emissions by 2050 and includes electrifying ground operations and exploring electric air taxis. The MOU positions Delta to potentially license the technology or supply integrated power solutions, opening a new revenue stream aligned with its electrification roadmap.
The MOU does not disclose financial terms or a development timeline. Both companies emphasized that the partnership is a strategic step toward safer, higher‑efficiency battery systems, with ProLogium’s CEO Vincent Yang noting the safety benefits and fast‑charging capabilities, and Delta’s battery power‑management manager Eric Huang highlighting the focus on high‑functional‑safety BMS design.
While the announcement does not yet provide market reaction data, the partnership signals Delta’s commitment to advancing aviation electrification and could influence future investment in electric aircraft and ground power systems.
