Development of electric vehicles - Import export

Novelis continues to accelerate the development of its innovative aluminum transportation materials to expand global product offerings for more sustainable buses, trucks, trailers, trains and other forms of commercial transport. Aluminum-intensive vehicles are not only up to 40 percent lighter than those made with steel, they are also safer and more durable. Given their unique properties, aluminum transportation materials continue to emerge as the material of choice for the industry. Manufacturers rely on aluminum’s many benefits, including diverse application development for electric vehicles and emerging mobility demands, superior energy absorption for crash management products and safety, and greater design flexibility due to strength, joining and formability properties, enabling better driving dynamics and vehicle agility.

The NEW electrically-safe, insulated WrenchStar Multi-e digital torque wrench has been developed for ‘live’ electric vehicle and electric battery assembly environments and to meet the ever-growing global demand for insulated tooling. The insulated wrench complies with the IEC 60900:2018* standard, applicable to insulated hand tools used for working with or close to live parts. The wrench is also finished with insulated components giving added protection for the user in high voltage applications and security against product failure due to electrical damage. Also incorporated in the WrenchStar Multi-e is an inductive battery charging system, making the process of charging the torque wrench easier by simply placing the wrench in the new charging cradle. The inductive system removes external charging contacts and complies to WPC/Qi standards providing further peace of mind. [...]
