Driving EV battery innovation with digital transformation

The global transition to EVs is accelerating, driven by consumer demand, government regulations, and ambitious targets from vehicle manufacturers. This transition is creating new challenges and opportunities for automotive engineers, particularly in the areas of BIW (body in white) and battery design.

BIW and battery design collaboration is essential for meeting the challenges of EV design and delivering the safe, high-performance EVs that consumers demand.

Finding the common ground in a four-stage workflow

Successfully integrating battery packs into electric vehicles (EVs) is a complex, multi-stage process that requires close collaboration between the BIW and battery teams. This is because the battery pack is a structural component of the EV and plays a critical role in performance and safety.

Engineers can foster collaboration using a four-stage workflow that includes defining pack layout and structural design parameters, optimizing thermal management, assessing the battery pack's manufacturability, and structural integration and validation of the BIW.

Drive collaboration with digital transformation

Collaboration between the BIW and battery teams is essential but it can be challenging, especially for teams that have traditionally had little interaction. Digital transformation can help to drive collaboration by providing a platform for teams to share data and communicate effectively.
