As the global mobility industry undergoes a once-in-a-century electric transformation, Visteon is evolving its electrification electronics capabilities to include a variety of intelligent systems for battery management and integrated power electronics. “Visteon’s history of producing battery management systems and digital cockpit electronics places us in a good position to support the industry’s shift to electrification,” said Visteon President and CEO Sachin Lawande. “Our first-to-market smart wireless battery management system (smartBMS) solution is the centerpiece of a growing electrified product line that will help automakers reduce the complexity, weight and materials used to manufacture electric vehicles and enhance the ownership experience for their customers.” Battery Management System (BMS) Visteon’s BMS capability dates back to the earliest days of EV production when it supported the 1998 Ford Ranger EV and various other automakers since then. In 2020, Visteon transformed its wired BMS solution into a first-to-market smart system that communicates wirelessly to key EV components. Wireless BMS technology replaces traditional wired connections with a highly secure and reliable wireless communication technology. Visteon builds its wireless cell monitoring/supervising units with a wireless network control unit and a battery control and interface unit, eliminating the need for OEMs to assemble battery packs with a low-voltage wiring harness. This can reduce overall vehicle weight and offer scalability across brands and vehicle segments. The smartBMS system platform delivers highly accurate battery cell measurement and maximizes energy use per cell required for better vehicle range.
