Lightweighting Opportunities in Electric Powertrain
Technology-driven trends are on the verge of disrupting the automotive industry. The shift towards the electrification of the powertrain is rapidly expanding and is further fueled by demand-side sustainability awareness. Electrification of the powertrain increases the vehicle's curb weight significantly, a development that needs to be actively countered by the use of lightweighting techniques.
With the electrification of the powertrain, the vehicle weight has witnessed an upward trajectory, with electric vehicles weighing at least 200kgs more than comparable IC vehicles. Such weight increase adversely affects vehicles’ dynamic performance and range, the latter being a primary concern for electric vehicle buyers. Active deployment of lightweighting technologies will not only help automakers develop competitive electric vehicles but also play a crucial role in widespread electric vehicle adoption.
