About

BOSMAL Institute – Center of Knowledge, Technology, and Innovation

BOSMAL Automotive Research and Development Institute Ltd with over 300 employees provides a wide range of research & development test activities for transport, e-mobility, battery and fuel sectors. Working directly with industrial partners and R&D organizations.

Services cover laboratory and in-field test protocols of light and heavy duty, on and off highway vehicles, using all types of powertrains, electric/hybrid/ICE. As well as marine and aviation applications and their assemblies.

Furthermore, BOSMAL laboratories specialise in battery module, pack, components testing and validation under electrical, mechanical, environmental and abuse test protocols. Test activities are complemented by dedicated laboratories for material testing, chemical analysis and metrological measurements. Moreover, E/E systems integration, digital tools, software testing and design of HMI graphics are within the scope of activities. Design and production department of BOSMAL is experienced in automated production stations and control gauges design and manufacturing. Laboratories are certified according to ISO 17025 standard and BOSMAL is Technical Service of Polish type approval authority (E20).

Role in ACCELERATE

BOSMAL will be responsible for the laboratory multi-physical testing and validation of battery modules and packs under regulatory and accelerated, field-representative test procedures. The scope will include electrical, environmental and mechanical testing, such as temperature cycling, humidity exposure, climatic testing, vibration resistance and combined multi-physical load testing. BOSMAL will also perform abuse pack-level testing and fire safety validation. Obtained results will be used to assess the impact of different stressors on battery ageing, including capacity fade, impedance evolution and thermal behavior. In addition, BOSMAL will contribute its expertise in regulatory and pre-certification testing to support the traceability to test conditions, boundary cases and failure definitions in line with recognized certification requirements.
