The technologies of today make it almost impossible to discuss the transportation industry without also bringing electronics into the conversation. Various sensors and other devices monitor or facilitate the operation of nearly every aspect of a vehicle’s operation, in one way or another.

Transportation electronics in both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and autonomous vehicles regulate crucial on-board domains such as drive control units, safety systems, proximity sensors, and connectivity controllers. The electronics in these increasingly sophisticated computers are susceptible to corrosion failures from exposure to water and salt during vehicle operation that can result in performance problems, loss of function, and expensive repairs.
