Knowledge and consultancy in battery technology
In recent years, various private companies, public authorities, and other stakeholders in the field of lithium batteries have partnered with Heskon as a knowledge partner. This can include advice on fire prevention or the storage of hazardous goods, as well as staff training on safe battery handling.
BOVAG


- BOVAG is the largest industry association in the Netherlands in the field of mobility, with more than 8,000 members across various sectors.
- The organization represents the interests of, among others, car, motorcycle, and bicycle businesses, and also issues a quality certification label.
- Since 2021, BOVAG has been actively involved as a co-owner of Heskon BV.
- From that point on, Heskon has served as a strategic battery partner, and BOVAG members can have their LMT batteries maintained by Heskon at a reduced rate.
Nationale Nederlanden

- Nationale Nederlanden was one of the first insurers to introduce stricter safety requirements for the storage of lithium batteries in business environments.
- NN is highly familiar with the risks associated with lithium batteries and strongly promotes fire prevention for companies working with these hazardous goods.
- Heskon contributed to research into smart Battery Management Systems (BMS) for early detection of (potentially safety-critical) battery faults.
- During the pilot phase, LMT batteries were manufactured and tested using these specialized battery management systems.
KwikFit

- KwikFit is one of Europe’s largest companies for car repair and maintenance. Since last year, all KwikFit locations have also served as official service points for the VanMoof brand.
- Maintenance and repair of VanMoof batteries is highly specialized work. Therefore, a partnership was established with Heskon for all battery models that were brought to market before the VanMoof’s relaunch.
- Heskon also repairs LMT batteries for consumers when the e-bike is no longer covered by the factory warranty due to its age.
Nederlands Instituut Publieke Veiligheid (NIPV)

- In the Netherlands, NIPV is regarded as the leading knowledge and research institute in the field of crisis management and fire services.
- With the rise of electric mobility, lithium batteries have become an increasingly important topic for fire departments in recent years.
- NIPV is, among other things, responsible for national training programs for firefighters.
- Drawing on its hands-on expertise in lithium batteries, Heskon played a key advisory role in improving training programs and firefighting tactics.
