EV battery enclosure process - TRB Lightweight Structures

United Kingdom

In battery electric vehicles (BEV), the batteries are larger, heavier, and more vital to the propulsion of the vehicle. Thus, a BEV’s battery enclosure needs to offer even more protection.

All of this means that typical metal boxes designed for a BEV can become prohibitively heavy. However, lighter composite battery enclosures offer the opportunity to reduce that weight.
