Atlanta-based Novelis Inc. says it has developed the industry’s first battery case made from sheet aluminum.
Designed for use in electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, the enclosure is said to be about 50% lighter than a steel unit. Aluminum sheet also is less expensive than aluminum extrusion or casting-intense systems, according to the supplier.
Novelis says the lightweight aluminum case is designed particularly for EVs with larger battery modules, such as SUVs and pickup trucks. The material can accommodate all battery cell types and complex design shapes.
