All battery box components from a single source
As a central element of electric vehicles, battery boxes have to meet high requirements in terms of crash resistance and fire safety. However, cost-effectiveness from design to production and a "green footprint" are also criteria. With its comprehensive expertise, the Metal Forming Division of voestalpine is the partner of the e-vehicle industry for all battery box components.
Leading early
voestalpine is a steel producer, developer of innovative high-performance steels, and a specialist in further processing. Years ago, the company recognized the future importance of e-mobility and the potential of ultra-high-strength steel for safety-relevant battery boxes. Based on its combined material and manufacturing expertise, voestalpine systematically built up competence in battery box components under one corporate roof.
