Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

Lithium Balance aspires to become a key player in the future of electric vehicles (EVs) sector by launching in the market the new ICAB solution. The present feasibility study represents a key step towards the implementation of our overall innovation project, the main goals are (1) technical adaptation of the core solution to the requirements of the different market segments; (2) market analysis and potential business opportunities to target the automotive sector (EVs low and high voltage batteries); (3) prototype system maturation and demonstration; (4) ISO26262 ASIL C certification of the new ICAB. Through the large number of interviews and meetings with current and potential customers (such as, Toyota Tsusho and Zenlead) and strategic partners (Sensata and DELTA), we concluded that our new ICAB concept totally applies to the needs of the EVs market and it is considered a significant step forward over the current technical state-of-the-art in the sector.
