The global battery testing market is projected to reach
The technical implications of KULR's contract with BRP should not be underestimated. The use of Fractional Thermal Runaway Calorimetry (FTRC) is pivotal in advancing battery safety. Thermal runaway occurs when a battery cell generates heat uncontrollably, leading to potential fire or explosion. FTRC's detailed characterization of this phenomenon at the cell level provides critical safety insights, which are especially important for consumer-facing e-mobility products.
KULR’s technology addresses the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1192 standard, ensuring compliance with stringent safety regulations. This compliance is essential for manufacturers like BRP, as it allows them to meet regulatory requirements and enhance consumer trust.
Moreover, KULR's development of the KULR ONE Design Solutions (K1-DS) platform further solidifies its position as a leader in battery safety solutions. The platform’s focus on regulatory compliance and comprehensive testing services could set a new industry standard, making KULR an attractive partner for other major manufacturers.
SAN DIEGO, May 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) (the "Company" or "KULR"), global leader in safe and high-performance energy storage solutions, is pleased to announce it has been awarded an engineering contract with Bombardier Recreational Products (“BRP”) (NASDAQ: DOOO) for the Company’s Fractional Thermal Runaway Calorimetry (FTRC) testing services. This milestone underscores KULR's expanding influence and commitment to advancing battery safety in the rapidly growing electric recreational products sector.
