Automotive original equipment manufacturers and battery manufacturers alike are grappling with complex demands on the road to an all-electric future - expected to grow to 16.5 million vehicles worldwide in 2022 to 300 million by 2030 (source: World Economic Forum). Production must be streamlined and efficient to keep pace with explosive growth. At the same time, the highest levels of performance must be achieved, while reducing weight, increasing sustainability and decreasing cost.
Processing solutions help enable the end-to-end success of BEVs across the value chain, from molten metal to final component. When paired with a robust portfolio, equipment support and process expertise, the benefits help to:
- Reduce processing steps
- Extend tool and die life to reduce cost
- Increase flexiblity in production
- Enable the use of aluminum to reduce battery pack weight and help increase range
- Use less resources, such as water and electricity
Learn more about how these solutions are applied to the BEV body-in-white & components, battery pack, battery cells and cooling modules in our white paper.
