Despite the predicted weight and cost advantages for various alternative multi-material concepts, today’s battery pack structures are predominantly made from aluminum and/or steel. As a first step OEMs are looking at replacing the less complex components, such as the lid and bottom protection plate, parts that don’t affect the battery pack internal design very much….

…this well-worn phrase actually works slightly different. But improving existing parts and technologies is often the best way to get the most out of a minimal investment. In this context, the question arises: can components that are currently produced in high volumes in the injection moulding process be optimised in terms of their carbon footprint…
