Supporting safety in next-generation electric vehicles
The diversity of energy sources has increased with the movement to avoid petroleum dependency and promote resource conservation. In response to this trend, and to curb global warming and environmental pollution, auto makers are promoting various initiatives. For auto makers’ electric vehicle projects, Omron provides sensors that detect leakage of battery packs, as well as DC power relays capable of interrupting high-current loads when a battery abnormality is detected.
Omron products are used in next-generation electric vehicles that combine a high-performance lithium-ion battery system and a compact and lightweight motor, subject to repeated tests for commercialization. The lithium-ion battery is the core technology for electric vehicles and is anticipated to be a front-runner battery system for future vehicles. Omron is committed to driving safety by monitoring the battery system at the heart of nextgeneration electric vehicles.
