APR Technologies is launching a new project that will directly impact the transition to a fossil-free transport system. This project demonstrates a modular long-life lithium ion battery system that increases performance and lifetime of the complete battery module. It is a pilot series for industrial production and will verify the productivity of the battery module. 

In parallel to its thermal switch product line for satellites, APR Technologies starts a new development based on its patented Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) technology. APR Technologies has been granted MSEK 1.1 from Swedish National Space Agency and will develop a pumped loop enabling efficient and reliable thermal control of various spacecraft including rovers to Mars and the Moon.

APR Technologies receives yet another commercial order for testing satellite systems, in our thermal vacuum (TVAC) equipment. The tests will be finalized in February.

APR Technologies is granted MSEK 2.5 from Vinnova for developing a compact and more efficient cooling system for electronics in the autonomous vehicle market. Together with Veoneer and Chalmers Industriteknik, the objective is to reduce the chip temperature and reach a 3-5 times longer life-time of processor components.
