iBDU

It is an optimized battery communication centralization solution that not only meets all global safety standards but also significantly increases safety and efficiency in the system in comparison to any existing solutions on the market. This new safety dimension in the high-voltage range is reached through outsourced and separated high-voltage lines, which allows highly reliable early detection of thermal instability of any kind.

Functions and control units, which previously could not be centralized or only with increased effort and risk, to be bundled into one system, reducing the number of components and interfaces required for system communication to drive a vehicle, which improves vehicle´s performance, reduces engineering efforts and design loops.

By using the iBDU, automakers and Tier 1 suppliers can significantly reduce their development effort, material costs (BOM), and the number of required overall components – cost savings promise up to 30% at the BDU level and space savings of up to 40% are possible despite additional integrated safety technology.
