In the rapidly expanding sector of electric vehicles, the question of battery performance and durability is essential. The SME Exoes has set itself the mission of ensuring an optimal temperature for these batteries, thus ensuring optimal operation and a longer lifespan for these environmentally friendly vehicles.
The constant pursuit of thermal performance
The SME Exoes, located in Gradignan in Gironde, is a key player in the field of innovative thermal systems for batteries. It primarily focuses on electromobility and ensures that electric vehicle batteries operate at an optimal temperature. Through its thermal control solutions, Exoes meets a growing global demand for battery performance.
Strategic partnerships with manufacturers and equipment suppliers
Arnaud Desrentes, CEO of Exoes, emphasizes the importance of an international approach for their growth. The SME collaborates with around thirty global automotive manufacturers, including about twenty based in China. Exoes is not limited to French manufacturers but extends to those capable of innovation on a global scale.
Additionally, Exoes works closely with equipment suppliers to test systems such as batteries and heat pumps on unique test platforms, allowing manufacturers to optimize their technologies. This synergy between manufacturers and suppliers is a cornerstone of Exoes’ development strategy.
Test platforms: a unique asset
The test platforms offered by Exoes stand out for their uniqueness and precision. This provides a major competitive advantage to the company, which raised 35 million euros in spring 2024 to develop these tools. These platforms allow for a rigorous evaluation of the thermal performance of systems, ensuring that manufacturers have better-equipped vehicles to face various climates and conditions.
Distribution of production and sales
To meet global demand, 95% of Exoes’ production remains in France. However, about two-thirds of its annual revenue of 10 million euros comes from exports. This demonstrates the international appeal of the thermal control solutions developed by the SME.
The vision for the future
With substantial investments and a solid strategic approach, Exoes is well positioned to continue playing a crucial role in the future of electromobility. The company is constantly seeking to improve its systems while meeting the demands of the global market.
In summary, the SME Exoes stands out for its expertise in advanced thermal solutions and its international strategic partnerships, thereby securing a prominent place in the dynamic electric vehicle sector.
