As the world shifts to an electric future, the skills needed to be successful also change. Perhaps the biggest change is the addition of a high-voltage battery system. This transition brings about several key challenges that ABS is well-suited to solve. Successfully developing and integrating these batteries requires a deep knowledge of the battery as a system—since these new generations of energy storage require a knowledge of every engineering field: chemistry, thermal dynamics, mechanical & structural, electronics, electrical, and software. With this knowledge, ABS can solve the challenges of Safety, Performance, Life, Cost and Environment.
