All battery box components from a single source
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.
A head start created and extended early on
voestalpine is a steel producer, developer of innovative high-performance steels and specialist in further processing. Years ago, the Group recognized the importance of e-mobility for the future and the potential of high-strength steel as a material for safety-relevant battery boxes. As a result, expertise in battery box components was systematically built up based on the combined materials and manufacturing know-how under one company umbrella.
When it comes to battery box components, we are the one for everything.
