About our Swappable Battery and BMS Engineering for PTWs
Swappable battery and BMS engineering for PTW
addresses the comprehensive design of power modules with emphasis on thermal management, integration of high-voltage (HV) systems, and advanced functional safety protocols. This field is supported by technical areas such as battery electrochemistry, thermal modeling, power electronics, and CAN bus communications, applying multiphysics simulation methodologies and predictive algorithms to optimize range and battery lifecycle in urban air platforms (eVTOL/UAM) and electric mobility vehicles (PTW). Development considers regulations associated with high-reliability environments and integration with electric propulsion systems, highlighting analysis tools based on FEM and real-time simulation software.
Laboratory capabilities include HIL/SIL testing to verify the BMS, advanced data acquisition, and safety protocols in accordance with applicable international regulations on energy storage systems. Traceability is ensured through risk analysis in compliance with standards such as ISO 26262, and functional safety practices for HV components. This approach facilitates training in specialized roles such as electrical systems integration engineers, battery maintenance technicians, functional safety specialists, and BMS firmware developers. Multidisciplinary interaction is oriented toward safe and certifiable innovation in swappable solutions for urban mobility.
