Accelerating Electric Mobility in India
Electric mobility in India is growing rapidly due to the swift population growth, improved living standards, and government initiatives supporting fossil fuel-free transportation. Alongside the significant number of two- and three-wheel vehicles, more battery-electric four-wheel cars are appearing on Indian roads.
A major factor driving this development is the progress in EV (electric vehicle) battery technology, which offers enhanced performance, safety, and durability for prismatic and pouch cell technologies. This progress is only just beginning, and The Battery Show India 2024 provided an excellent opportunity to explore the latest trends, materials, and technologies for EVs and charging infrastructure in the region.
Go further with innovative battery protection solutions
In Li-Ion EV batteries, mitigating thermal runaway propagation remains one of the key challenges faced by battery designers. High power density and maximised performance place immense stress on the cells, and maintaining them under the precise pressure during charging and discharging, as well as in optimal temperature conditions, is a significant challenge for engineers. Our latest Norseal® Compression Pad and Thermal Runaway Protection solutions showcased at the event combine unique compression and thermal runaway propagation protection properties, which impressed many visitors at our stand during the show.
To protect the battery pack from environmental factors, innovative pack sealing solutions were presented in a fresh way among the hidden gems of the trade show. This comprehensive range of battery pack housing options, including foam-in-place gasketing, silicone foam rubbers, butyl-coated PVC, and micro-cellular PUR foams, excels in combining reliable sealing of batteries from external elements with low compression set and fire-blocking properties.
Transform EV challenges into solutions
The conversations with visitors at The Battery Show India 2024 once again highlighted the importance of flexibility and the ability to tailor products to meet customers' specific requirements. As a leading global partner, Saint-Gobain Tape Solutions recognises the need to provide solutions optimised for the demands of different regions, and that customised solutions can be crucial in transforming EV challenges into solutions. Since there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution, our regional experts, along with local research, development, and manufacturing capabilities, are able to quickly provide expertise and materials.
