Varroc
Engineering Limited, a global Tier-1 auto component supplier, has entered an
agreement to manufacture EV Battery Management System (BMS) in India for
Lithium Balance, a Danish BMS solutions provider. Under the agreement, Varroc
will manufacture BMS for lithium-ion batteries for electric two-wheelers and
three-wheelers at its manufacturing facility in Pune.
Lithium
Balance is a Danish company founded in 2006 to push the battery-based
electrification technology forward by developing, manufacturing and selling
Battery Management Systems (BMS) for lithium ion battery technologies. With
over 10 years of experience in a relatively young industry and over 700
customer projects, Lithium Balance is a leading BMS solutions provider
worldwide. Over the years, the company has won several innovation awards across
the world.
Lithium-ion
battery technology has become mainstream in varied uses from personal
electronics to transport and industrial applications because of the largest
energy density per volume and weight it offers. A BMS plays the vital role of
managing the inherently unstable lithium-ion batteries by performing critical
tasks such as monitoring the state of the battery, thermal management,
communication with other hardware and protection by preventing it from operating
outside its safe operating area.
Arjun
Jain, President – Electrical & Electronics business at Varroc said on the
occasion, “As we’ve stated before, Varroc’s direction is to drive growth by
leveraging sustainable automotive trends like the desire to be greener, safer,
smarter and connected. Today at Varroc, we supply almost the entire
electrical-electronic system for IC Engine. We aim to do the same for the
electric vehicle. Our collaboration with Lithium Balance is another step in
this direction.”
Kasper
Torpe, VP – Sales & marketing at Lithium Balance said, “Our confidence in
Varroc’s capabilities is accentuated by their focus on developing technologies
for electric and connected vehicles in India. We are glad to have partnered
with the company that shares our vision to develop technologies for greener
means of transportation.”
