Companies aim to reduce the rare fires caused by overheating caused by thermal runaway in batteries. The partnership between Honeywell and Nexceris will ensure even more safety in the use of electric cars in the global automotive sector.
The company Honeywell announced last Monday, (26/12), the expansion of its alliance with the company Nexceris to increase safety in the use of lithium-ion batteries in electric cars. Companies will then offer advanced sensor technologies automotive to minimize the rare accidents involving fires caused by overheating due to thermal runaway in the batteries. This is a way of reinforcing the mutual commitment in the search for more security in the energy transition of the global automotive sector.
Partnership between Honeywell and Nexceris will provide advanced automotive sensor technologies to ensure safer use of electric cars
Earlier this week, Honeywell announced another major step towards technological improvements in the global electric automotive sector.
The company said it is expanding its alliance with Nexceris, developer of Li-ion Tamer, a lithium-ion gas detection solution that helps make electric vehicles safer.

In this way, the companies will provide the electric car market with advanced automotive sensor technologies that prevent the occurrence of the phenomenon known as thermal runaway.
This is a phenomenon that causes overheating inside the battery cells, which can result in fires.
Thus, this can cause safety risks, rare, although significant, since fires can impact drivers on the roads, people who have these vehicles parked in their garages and logistics companies transporting them to their final recipients.
The movement of both companies in the search for more safety in electric cars takes place at a time when many industries in the global market are migrating to the energy transition in the automotive sector.
Thus, the expansion of electric cars using lithium-ion batteries is a phenomenon that is increasingly seen. Global sales doubled in 2021 compared to the previous year, reaching the mark of almost 7 million units sold.
Honeywell and Nexceris highlight need to strengthen security and invest in new technologies
After the announcement of the strengthening of the alliance with the company, Thomas Liam, General Manager of Safety and Productivity Solutions at Honeywell Latin America, commented that, as the electrified automotive sector grows worldwide, new safety solutions are needed.
“At Honeywell, we are supporting this transition with ready-to-use solutions to help our customers reduce safety risks as they expand their EV portfolios. By adding Li-ion Tamer technology to our battery monitoring sensor platform, we help automotive manufacturers empower their battery health monitoring systems with the ability to detect thermal runaway conditions even faster.”
Kyle Shen, President and CEO of Nexceris, said the partnership between the two will contribute to strengthening the global transition to electric vehicles through better battery monitoring.
The company also highlighted that it intends to take advantage of Honeywell's experience and expertise to develop even more advantageous solutions for the use of batteries in electric cars.
In the year 2020, the companies have come together to provide security for lithium-ion battery systems and energy storage applications. Now, they expand the partnership to ensure even more quality in the segment.
