Honeywell, a consumer technology corporation located in the United States, said that it has developed unique solutions to solve safety concerns throughout the whole spectrum of
EV manufacture and use. According to the business, its
lithium-ion battery safety sensors serve an important role in detecting possible battery fires, which can safeguard drivers.
“With more than 10 million EVs sold around the world last year, we’re seeing how pivotal they are in making the future of sustainable travel a reality,” said Sarah Martin, president of Honeywell Sensing & Safety Technologies.
India's EV market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 49 per cent from 2022 to 2030. Electric scooter use is also on the rise and more than half of India’s three-wheeler vehicle registrations last year were electric, and electric two-wheelers are expected to grow by 27.3 per cent to $6.1 billion by 2030. In India, an additional 10 million direct jobs and 50 million allied jobs may be needed in this sector by 2030, as per economic times.
“As a leader in EV and scooter battery safety, we aim to drive the electric mobility revolution in the country by augmenting safety standards, offering innovative ready-now solutions and helping our customers navigate the challenges of the rapidly-evolving electric vehicle market,” said Ashish Modi, president, Honeywell India.
When Honeywell battery safety sensors are included into EV and scooter battery packs, they identify thermal runaway threats, allowing EV and scooter manufacturers to fulfill
international battery fire safety regulations. Honeywell said it is developing sensors to identify earlier thermal runaway symptoms in EV and scooter batteries through a strategic relationship with Nexceris, a producer of lithium-ion
gas detection technologies.
