ELECTRIC VEHICLE SENSOR MARKET

INTRODUCTION

Technology breakthroughs have led to the development of electric vehicles over time. These cars now have updated electronics for a number of uses that are powered by the battery pack of the automobile.

Temperature, current, and pressure variations are examples of technological improvements. Temperature and load variations have been shown to be a problem for electric vehicles.

They are therefore continuously inspected to ensure that any alteration outside of their typical functioning range is identified and corrected.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE SENSOR MARKET DEVELOPMENTS AND INNOVATIONS

The industry for electric vehicle sensors in China is being driven by miniaturisation and improved communication capabilities, which enable their integration into cars without impairing the vehicle's primary functions.

The use of sensors in EVs has expanded due to the increase in demand for luxury vehicles. In addition, a growing consumer preference for enhanced safety features in both passenger and light commercial vehicles will fuel market expansion.

The automobile sector is increasingly utilising cutting-edge technology and innovation. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) including electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) systems are becoming more and more common in the global market for electric car sensors.

Comfort and safety have emerged as key market drivers for the electric vehicle sensor industry because of the accessibility of a wide variety of microchips and on-chip system components.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION

Honeywell’s battery safety sensors integrated into EV battery packs enable EV manufacturers to comply with the battery fire safety requirements in international standards UN GTR No. 20 Electric Vehicle Safety, and the associated Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. The battery safety sensors detect early thermal runaway events and communicate to the vehicle system using CAN communication. The battery safety sensors have programmable warning thresholds to fit specific battery configuration.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

One of the main drivers fuelling market demand is the growing use of sensors in autonomous vehicles. The need for electric vehicle sensors has surged as a result of the widespread adoption of ADAS and AD systems.

The market will rise due to the high usage of image sensors, temperature sensors, position sensors, and speed sensors in ADAS/AD systems. Consumers are drawn to the automation offered by smart sensors as the globe moves toward safer, more regulated technologies. 

Lord Corporation is a leading mobiliser of the equipment in the market. The latest integration has been throughout the battery validation testing, LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) sensors are used to assess pouch and prismatic cell swelling.

These sensors are appropriate for use in corrosive fluids and hazardous situations and offer great accuracy and resolution over a wide temperature range. Additionally, they function dynamically under temperature, vibration, and shock loads.

Utilizing customised sensor calibration and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) inertial sensor designs

TE Connectivity is part of the component manufacture trending companies in the current industry. The ideal temperature window to enable efficient charging is small, thermal monitoring of the electric battery modules during charging is essential.

Compact temperature sensors from TE provide for accurate temperature sensing. Thermal monitoring helps with condition monitoring when an electric vehicle is in use.

Additionally, TE's current sensors control the current in power electronics like inverters as well as inside battery units. One of the smallest and most precise humidity sensors in this category is the high performance HTU31 humidity and temperature combo sensor.
