SafeFields Technologies has entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Veoneer to commercialise automotive-grade electronics products using SafeFields’ active electromagnetic field reduction technology.
The companies plan to develop scalable OEM-grade systems designed to reduce low-frequency electromagnetic field emissions inside vehicle environments. SafeFields brings active cancellation technology, while Veoneer adds automotive electronics production, qualification experience, and Tier-1 supply capability.
SafeFields’ technology is designed to reduce low-frequency magnetic fields generated by high-current systems in electrified vehicles, including battery-electric vehicles, hybrids, and increasingly electronic conventional vehicles. Rather than depending only on passive shielding or cable rerouting, the system uses magnetic field sensors, signal processing, and phase-inverted actuator signals to reduce fields dynamically.
Electromagnetic field control is becoming more closely connected to vehicle architecture as power electronics, high-current cabling, battery systems, inverters, and electric drives occupy more space across vehicle platforms. Cabin environments now sit closer to high-current systems than in traditional internal combustion platforms, increasing the need for compact mitigation approaches that can be engineered into production vehicles.
SafeFields says its active field cancellation approach can offer advantages over passive shielding, including higher suppression ratios, installation flexibility, low physical footprint, low power consumption, and customisation for specific vehicle layouts. The company also says the system can operate across passenger seating positions and vehicle operating modes.
“Partnering with Veoneer is a major milestone for SafeFields,” said Shaul Shulman and Oded Einat, Co-Founders and Co-CEOs of SafeFields. “Veoneer’s automotive electronics expertise and global reach, together with our breakthrough active EMF reduction technology, position us strongly to support OEMs as EMF awareness, regulation, and vehicle grading initiatives continue to expand worldwide.”
Veoneer has concentrated on safety-critical electronics since completing the sale of its active safety business to Magna in 2023. Its restraint control systems and crash sensors have been supplied to global vehicle manufacturers at scale, giving the collaboration a route into established automotive electronics production and qualification processes.
“With this agreement, Veoneer continues its commitment to protecting the occupants of a vehicle at every stage of the driving experience,” said Nik Endrud, Chief Executive Officer, Veoneer. “SafeFields’ technology aligns with our vision for vehicle safety, and we look forward to working with them to bring these solutions to our customers.”
The companies expect the collaboration to support OEM integration programmes and future commercial opportunities across global automotive markets. SafeFields’ technology overview provides further detail on its active field cancellation approach.
