The challenge:
battery packs start fires unpredictably.
50.000L
are required to extinguish a fire sparked by an electric vehicle. This presents a significant risk of initiating uncontrollable fires, endangering nearby individuals.
Lifecycle of an Electric Vehicle
Across the lifecycle of an electric vehicle, the highest risk emerges during collision incidents, as the battery sustains damage and necessitates transportation to a repair facility. Remarkably, even within the repair shop environment, there exists a potential for re-ignition and subsequent fires.

Common Core
The developmet of a "common core" refers to a foundational set of design principles, elements, or components that are shared across a range of products within a product line or brand. It involves creating a consistent and recognizable design language that unifies various products, making them distinctively belong to the same family or brand.
Elements typically include design features such as shapes, materials, color schemes, and details that are consistently applied to a range of products. This approach helps establish brand identity, reinforces brand recognition, and enhances the user experience by creating a sense of familiarity and coherence among products.

Design Language
Each product features a prominent circular element encased within a sleek metal frame when viewed from the front. This circular centerpiece serves as the product's technological hub, housing intricate components and presenting a visually captivating complexity. The refined metal encasement elevates the importance of this circular motif, lending a premium touch to the design. Meanwhile, the overall exterior shape adheres to a rectangular form, optimizing manufacturability and structural integrity.
A distinct and elegant S-curve gracefully divides the front section from the main body. The side profile showcases an integrated indentation that extends inward, providing a dedicated space for the logo. This pays homage to FLIR's heritage but also establishes a strong visual connection that resonates with the company's legacy.
