Novelis and industry partners have jointly developed the world's first aluminum plate battery case to meet the growing demand of the electric vehicle market. Made from Novelis Advanz ™ aluminum, this product is 50% lighter than comparable steel and has a lower price. For production models, Novelis' aluminum sheet design is the most cost-effective solution. This housing is suitable for all types of batteries, especially pure electric vehicles that require a larger power pack, such as pickups, SUVs and crossovers.
The aluminum plate battery case uses a high-molded alloy to help complete the deep-drawing process, achieve complex shape customization, and meet specific vehicle design requirements. The light weight and high strength of this material can help extend the mileage, and the car can drive 6-10% more on a single charge. Novelis takes safety as its top priority. Through a large number of simulations, it ensures that the battery can withstand the impact of road gravel and vehicle collisions.
Pierre Labat, Vice President of Novelis Global Automotive Market, said: "We continue to increase investment to improve product design, connectivity, and impact resistance, and to develop stronger, more efficient, and more cost-effective battery enclosures that can fully meet Customer's customized needs. "
This design utilizes the advantages of more corrosion resistance and easy recycling of aluminum, as well as good thermal conductivity, which helps prevent the battery temperature from being too high and prolongs the battery life. As automakers continue to invest in sustainable transportation solutions, aluminum is becoming the material of choice for reducing automotive emissions.
