Structures Changes due to Electrified
- Without engine powertrain,body structure become simpler
- To achieve a longer range ,generally EV cars are 250~400kg heavier than fuel cars
- Popular longer wheel base and short overhang design style
pportunities From EV cars:
- Lightweight is goal-oriented by more and more OEMs;
- In EV cars body & chassis structures become simple, so there are more opportunities to use Extrusion and Rolling processes;
- Heavier weight and shorter collision area, cars need stronger Front/Rear/Side crash system
