E-mobility Adhesives and Lubricants

End-consumer demand for electric vehicles is increasing and will continue to grow significantly over the coming decades.
Despite the compelling advantages of electric vehicles, their success requires car manufacturers to address a number of end-customer concerns.
These include high prices, range anxiety, reliable performance and passenger safety.
These concerns are part of an even wider and more complex range of engineering and commercial challenges.
At the heart of every vehicle is the powertrain, and while internal combustion engines have years of research and development behind them, for hybrid and electric powertrains the journey has just begun.
Key engineering challenges in EV powertrain components include efficient thermal management, integration of electrical systems, miniaturisation, reducing total vehicle weight and ensuring safe and reliable vehicle performance.
