E-mobility refers to the vehicles fully or partly driven electrically. Hybrid vehicles combine two engines, electric and internal combustion, to assist the second one in terms of lower emissions and consumption. On the other side, full electric vehicles (or BEV), only use the power of electricity to move, without any internal combustion. Environmental sustainability and reduction of carbon footprint is a sensitive issue, becoming higher than ever, specially inside the automotive world. At Bitron, we are working to be part of the new market landscape, changing constantly towards more sustainable choices.
What we are doing
You will find us ready to design, brand new, fully customized products, including: AVAS pedestrian warning systems, high current battery disconnect units, EMC filters and new generation actuators. In addition, Bitron's broad vision, powered by our know-how, allows rapid solutions even in the development of completely new application areas.
Looking at the future
Our target for the incoming E-moblity era is the production of new generation devices. They will provide a safer, more efficient and mantainance free experience. Last, but not least, they must be more affordable to finally break the last barriers that are slowing electric cars from spreading out in our cities and change the world.
