Longer Range, Lighter Weight

Technology for electric vehicles (EV) is quickly advancing and has significant growth potential. Automotive design engineers are working to develop the next-generation of EVs, hybrids, and autonomous vehicles to improve their functionality, efficiency, safety, and performance.

The development of vehicle electrification also includes battery technologies ranging from enclosures, brackets, and cooling systems to state-of-the-art charging infrastructure. To keep up with the fast-paced industry and regulatory demands, our expertise and specialty polymer solutions can help manufacturers navigate common material selection considerations. These include lightweighting, impact protection, flame retardance, thermal management, EMI/RFI shielding, durable performance, and aesthetics.
