AIS develops solutions that protect against extreme internal and external heat sources, such as battery propagation and panfire scenarios. These solutions help hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) OEMs meet rigorous safety standards, such as ECE R100 and GB 38031-2020. We conduct testing and development from our UK-based facility, Europe's largest battery testing and material development centre, ensuring our solutions are validated under real-world conditions.
Fire protection solutions for the automotive industry
Why AIS?
Providing the competitive edge
Our bespoke engineering has enabled us to develop proven and patented technologies to help mitigate the risk of fire therefore increasing the safety of electric vehicles.
Lightweight
Innovative solutions that protect cells during extreme events whilst ensuring the electric vehicle's range will not be compromised.
Prevent thermal propagation
AIS solutions prevent thermal propagation in lithium-ion batteries at a module and pack level by limiting thermal runaway to an individual cell.
In-house testing
Conducting a range of testing on-site has ensured our team have a sound understanding of fire impact and behaviour, allowing them to make highly informed development decisions.
Related applications
AIS has a range of innovative and proven product solutions that are in use in a variety of environments worldwide.
