VHOLA develops solutions for measuring, monitoring and reducing electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in fully or hybrid electric vehicles. One of the company's solutions is an aftermarket radiation detector which will measure and record the cabin's electromagnetic field levels. The second is an integrated solution implemented at vehicle's design, helping OEMs in preventing harmful radiation peaks by regulating the energy flow and EMR throughout the vehicle's lifetime. The core technology is patent pending.
"Many smart high-tech solutions like VHOLA's are coming from Israel," explained Mertens. "In the field of electromobility, VHOLA is an important and promising solution for controlling electromagnetic radiation," Mertens said.
VHOLA founder and CEO Asaf Tsin said, "We are very pleased with the commitment made by Peter Mertens, as he is the most relevant authority at OEMs' R&D departments, along with his industrial and educational background."
