Innovative Automotive Applications

1. EV Battery Preheating
   Cold weather reduces lithium-ion battery efficiency by up to 40%. Silicone heaters preheat packs to 20°C, improving winter range by 15–25%.

2. ADAS Sensor Protection
   LiDAR and camera systems in autonomous vehicles require frost-free operation. HRX’s low-profile heaters (1.5mm thick) prevent fogging and ice buildup without obstructing sensor

3. Passenger Comfort
   Custom-shaped heaters integrate seamlessly into steering wheels and seats, reaching 50°C in under 60 seconds for enhanced comfort.
