Commenting on the development, Anurang Jain, Managing Director of Endurance Technologies Limited said, "While the bulk of our existing products are EV-agnostic, Maxwell's BMS would be our first EV specific product. With fairly rapid vehicle electrification, OEMs have accelerated their EV plans and are focusing on battery parameters including safety, range and power, and BMS would be a key differentiator. We plan to leverage Maxwell's deep technical expertise developed over the years and its BMS deployment experience in Indian and European conditions. We aim to offer our products to multiple new customers, including Indian automotive OEMs and battery pack manufacturers." Akhil Panjwani, CEO and co-founder of ION Energy said, "Maxwell's business is growing exponentially and large OEMs are relying on us to deliver on their electrification plans. The partnership with Endurance enables us to deliver on our commitments with strength and reliability. Together we will reinforce and consolidate our supply chain, operations and manufacturing.
