RIVOLI, Italy, Oct. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Easyrain announce the partnership with Marelli, a global automotive supplier that will work with us to industrialize our technologies: AIS (Aquaplaning Intelligent Solution), the first system for restoring vehicle traction on wet roads, including aquaplaning conditions, and DAI (Digital Aquaplaning Information), a platform of virtual sensors for detecting road conditions and calibrating ADAS.
The agreement with Marelli represents a significant milestone in the 2023-2030 industrial plan. This plan aims to launch AIS and DAI on the market, scheduled for late 2025 and mid-2027, respectively.
Marelli will focus on industrializing the AIS system's evolution (called Proto-B). It is under development to prevent the potential loss of a wheel. In the event of a loosening of the wheel fastening nuts, micro-vibrational phenomena can occur, causing the nut to become loose. DAI detects these situations and alerts the vehicle.
Giovanni Blandina, founder and CEO of Easyrain: Our goal is to develop the Proto-B version of the AIS system. I have no doubts about Marelli's technical capabilities in making it an extraordinary product in terms of performance, as well as lightweight and cost-effective. Today, with a prestigious partner like Marelli by our side, Easyrain can undoubtedly look further into the future and confidently take a seat at the table of automakers.
Francesco Miticocchio, VicePresident Strategic Planning, Technology & Innovation of Marelli: The AIS system, perfectly fits with one of the strategic pillar of Marelli: vehicle dynamics. Safety, security, comfort, agility and energy management are new vehicle dynamics features that complement the traditional acceleration and speed. The AIS system is a key safety element that we are very happy to bring to market in partnership with Easyrain.
