Israeli startup SafeFields signs strategic deal with Veoneer to tackle vehicle radiation
Partnership aims to integrate electromagnetic field reduction systems into electric and hybrid vehicles worldwide.
SafeFields Technologies, which develops systems to reduce electromagnetic fields (EMF) inside vehicles, has signed a strategic agreement with automotive supplier Veoneer to integrate its technology into electric and hybrid cars.
Under the agreement, Veoneer will develop, manufacture, and market systems based on SafeFields’ technology, while SafeFields will provide its core EMF reduction system. The companies said the technology will be built into vehicles during manufacturing.
The deal gives SafeFields access to global automakers through Veoneer’s supply chain. The companies estimate the agreement could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars over the coming years.
SafeFields develops technology designed to reduce electromagnetic fields inside the passenger cabin. Its system uses sensors and software to detect and actively cancel electromagnetic exposure in real time, in a process the company compares to noise-cancelling headphones.
According to the company, the system is designed to work inside electric and hybrid vehicles and adds minimal weight and energy consumption.
As part of the agreement, Veoneer will handle engineering development and production scaling, while SafeFields will provide its sensing and field-cancellation technology.
SafeFields said it has already received an initial order to build pilot models for a leading European automaker, marking its first step toward large-scale deployment. The customer was not disclosed.
The agreement comes as the automotive industry continues to shift toward electric and hybrid vehicles. According to SafeFields, global vehicle production stands at around 100 million vehicles a year, with about 40% being electric or hybrid.
The company said awareness of electromagnetic exposure in vehicles is increasing, and regulators in some countries are beginning to examine standards and measurement frameworks for in-car radiation.
Alongside its work with automakers, SafeFields is also selling retrofit systems for existing vehicles. The company said Israel is its first market, with expansion planned in Europe and the United States.
SafeFields co-founders and managing partners Shaul Shulman and Oved Einat said the partnership with Veoneer would help bring the technology into mass production and global automotive programs.
Nick Andersson, CEO of Veoneer, said the company is focused on expanding safety technologies in vehicles and that SafeFields’ system fits that direction.
The companies did not disclose additional financial details of the agreement.
