BAC provides vehicle test bed for research conducted for Niche Vehicle Network grant.
In our previous blog post, we announced our success at receiving grant funding from the Niche Vehicle Network and highlighted the beginning of our search to find a suitable partner to work with Rasei on this project. We are delighted to reveal that we have found such a partner in BAC, and they will provide a vehicle with which to conduct final testing.
Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) holds innovation and technology at the very height of its core values, making them a fantastic partner for Rasei in this venture. They have adopted a game-changing mindset by redefining the meaning of ‘new’ and breaking ground that has not only ever been done before, but never even considered. Their dedication to innovative technological development centres their company in an advantageous position to assist Rasei in the advancement of our conductive composite research. BAC brings a wealth of experience and a strong track record in the automotive industry, enabling us to accelerate innovation and enhance our offerings.
Rasei and BAC have a number of key technical objectives to address during the course of this project to ensure a full-blown prototype can be deployed at a later stage of development. The main commercial objective and challenge presented is to enable CAN signals to be sent through a graphene infused carbon composite and control electrical elements of the BAC mono type R (pictured below). Following the success of this, Rasei will be able to validate that our conductive composite structure can transmit a signal of sufficient quality that will begin the journey towards building a full vehicle prototype with graphene infused composite panels fully replacing the traditional wiring harness. Rasei and BAC will also be considering and testing for the impact that damage to the conductive composite will have on signal quality – a critical step in the path to commercialisation of Rasei’s patented technology.
We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead as we embark on this new chapter with BAC. Our joint efforts will fuel growth, strengthen our market position, and create a positive disruptive impact on the industry. Rasei is thrilled to have BAC on board, and we look forward to a fruitful and successful partnership in this project and beyond.
