General information
- Short Summary
- A consortium is seeking an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) as a partner that can cover all vehicle-related activities in a Horizon Europe project focusing on the design and integration of battery packs in electric vehicles, with a focus on security aspects and end-of-life treatment. The partner must be a company producing battery packs, with lithium-ion cells, interested in collaborating on health and safety diagnostics, BMS and BTMS improvement diagnostics.
- Full Description
-
The project consortium, coordinated by an Austrian Research Institute, is looking for a company (SME or bigger) acting as Original Equipment Manufacturer, who can cover all vehicle-related activities in the project for the call EU HORIZON CL5-2025-04-D5-03: Safe post-crash management of road Light Duty Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs); the project focuses on the road BEV electric drive components relevant from a system integration point of view.
The project outcomes are:
• Significant improvement of vehicle designs (especially the design of the most recent battery pack and its integration into the vehicle) from the perspective of fire-hazard reduction, fire suppression, crashworthiness and post-crash handling compared with the baseline vehicle, following specific design guidelines;
• Advanced BEV condition assessment methods
and tools with a focus on the condition of the battery as the most critical sub-system, providing safety-relevant information in a standardised format useful for rescue, towing and after-treatment services, complementing the digital battery passport, ensuring the safety of workers in all these phases, minimising environmental hazards and easy to apply by practitioners –towards standardised procedures
• Re-purposing/re-using/re-cycling of batteries from crashed BEVs facilitated by tailored interventions, high confidence in battery health condition and standardised handover protocols, thus supporting potential second-life applications of batteries from crashed BEVs;
• Best practices in fire handling and fire suppression, rescue procedures and handling of crashed Light Duty BEVs applied all over Europe, supported by training material and instructions for ‘first responders', such as firefighters and emergency service workers;
• Dispelling safety concerns of (potential) BEV users as well as policy/decision makers by science-based communication and comparative statistics.
Call: EU HORIZON CL5-2025-04-D5-03: Safe post-crash management of road Light Duty Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs).
The funding rate for the industrial partners is 70% .
The expected outcomes are at TRL 6.
