14.10.2014

LION Smart GmbH, a subsidiary of LION E-Mobility, has recently filed a patent for an electric vehicle contactor under the title “electric contactor for an energy storage of electric vehicles” at the German Patent and Trademark Office in Munich. Contactors and battery management systems are indispensable safety-relevant components of all modern battery systems. With its novel contactor, LION E-Mobility has put a product in motion that significantly excels today’s state-of-the-art technology.

Through its innovative concept LION Smart’s contactor provides a reliable, space saving and cost-efficient alternative to modern contactor concepts. The construction is inure to vibrations or impacts and guarantees a secure disconnection of the power source even in case of strong deformation, e.g. in an accident. Therefore LION Smart’s contactor can significantly increase the safety of electric vehicles in road traffic. With this new product LION E-Mobility rounds off its portfolio in the segment of battery safety components and consolidates its position within the supplying industry for electric vehicles.
