BATTERY PACK HOUSING OF GREAT IMPORTANCE FOR ELECTRIC AND HYBRID CARS

The advance of the electric car is unstoppable. More and more people are choosing an electric car because they want to drive in an environmentally conscious manner. The battery is an, if not the most, essential part of the electric car. Hadley Group is capable of producing high quality, cost efficient components for battery pack housings.

 

More and more people around the world appear to be open to electric driving. There is no turning back now. 50% of young people indicate that they want to drive electric or hybrid to reduce the burden on our planet. Elderly people want to drive smaller cars, and with electric cars everyone is assured of access to environmental zones in large cities around the world. For more than 30% of people, energy savings and sustainability are decisive factors in their enthusiasm for electric and hybrid cars. Of course, there are also people who prefer to wait until the cars have proven themselves over a longer period or the battery range is higher. But governments are also encouraging electric driving with substantial subsidies. The number of electric cars will therefore continue to grow, and so will the demand for rollformed parts such as battery pack housings.

BATTERY IS A CRUCIAL PART OF ELECTRIC AND HYBRID CARS

The battery is a very important part of the electric car. Since the electric car battery pack is such an important and expensive part, it is essential that it functions properly for a long time and is optimally protected. The batteries need strong, rigid, robust protection. At Hadley, we achieve this with high strength steel (HSS). Using this strong metal, we can ensure the housings are crash-proof.

Moreover, during development of the battery pack housing, the weight of the battery module and the available space in the car are important considerations that impact all components.

At Hadley Group we have extensive experience rollforming automotive parts, and we use a variety of metals for this, such as high strength steel. Read more about this below.

 

 

CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE: EXPERIENCE WITH DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRIC CAR PARTS

Thanks to our experience, we know exactly what can and cannot be used for rollforming the components for battery pack housings.
