Redline Detection chosen for Jaguar Land Rover tool program

Jaguar Land Rover has mandated Redline Detection’s Battery + Coolant Leak Detector (BCDL) as an “essential tool” at its global dealer locations. This gives assurance that battery enclosures, battery coolant systems, and other EV components are sealed to meet all OEM and battery manufacturer warranty standards, Redline Detection says.

The BCLD is used during battery maintenance in or out of the vehicle, after battery exchange, after collisions, during preventive maintenance, and after any torsion such as towing or lifting the vehicle. This ensures that EV components are safely sealed against potential water or debris intrusion.

In 2015, Jaguar Land Rover also mandated Redline’s PowerSmoke PRO an essential tool for turbocharged and boosted vehicles.

Diamond Foundry (DF) created an electric car inverter leveraging its diamond wafer technology to enable more efficient electric cars, the company said. The power electronics unit is six times smaller than that of a Tesla 3 while delivering more power more efficiently. This new level of miniaturization is enabled through a smart design enabled by diamond wafers in composition with established silicon carbide dies.
