Heating systems and resistors for electric vehicles
Work on developing systems for electrification of cars and commercial vehicles is currently in full swing. NIBE Element has developed several technologies and products that are central to a transition to electric operation. This applies both to resistors used for vehicle braking and heating systems used for heating batteries and for cabin heating.
In some cases we are responsible for complete systems, comprising element, mechanics, electronics and software. In these cases the customer is usually the vehicle manufacturer. In other cases we supply elements or resistors as components to another system supplier. These business development projects have a timeframe of several years and will offer substantial opportunities for growth.
Backer High Voltage Coolant Heater
Backer AB develops and manufactures battery and cabin heaters for world-leading vehicle manufacturers for use in electric vehicles. The heater supplies 10kW and runs on power of up to 1000V DC and is equipped with integrated electronic control and dedicated CAN/LIN software, for communication with the vehicle. Among other things, the heater safeguards the operating temperature of the vehicle battery pack, which is required for optimal service life, range and function.
