TRENDS in LIGHTWEIGHTING of Bevs: a REVIEW of STRATEGIES – Part II TECHNOLOGY FORESIGHT LIGHTWEIGHTING TRENDS IN LIGHTWEIGHTING OF BEVs: A REVIEW OF STRATEGIES – Part II Electric vehicle (EV) is not just a change in fuel, or energy source. It is a new paradigm in mobility and hence it brings with it possibilities of disruptive innovations in the way a vehicle, or even the transportation system, is de- signed. The future lightweight EVs, thus, may adopt lightweighting strategies that not only covers innovations in materials, design and joining technologies, but also in the form of new approaches towards systems integration, drivetrain configurations, packaging, and thermal management, et cetera. This the second of the two-part article on lightweighting trends of BEVs. 18 www.autotechreview.com AUTHORS LIGHTWEIGHT BODY AND COMPONENT DESIGN Traditional approaches towards light- weighting of vehicles include use of light- weight materials (both for structure, clo- sure panels as well as powertrain compo- SURESH BABU MUTTANA nents), structural design, and joining is Scientist C at TIFAC, Department technologies.

Use of Lightweight Materials: Significant work has been reported on reducing vehicle mass, wherein conven- tional steel is replaced with lightweight materials such as advanced high strength RAKESH KUMAR DEY steels (15-25 %), aluminium (40-60 %), is Project Associate at TIFAC, carbon fibre (50-60 %) and magnesium Department of Science & (60-75 %).

Carbon fibre is a suitable material for this purpose, as it can fulfil two functions in an electric car – as a lightweight composite reinforcement material for the car’s body, and as an active electrode in lithium-ion batteries. The idea is to develop a structural battery consisting of multifunctional lightweight materials that simultaneously manage mechanical loads, and store electrical energy. This can result in a weight reduc- tion for EVs. A project by British researchers and Volvo Cars used multi-layer carbon fibre body panels that store electricity, serving as a battery or as a capacitor. A material composed of carbon fibre, nano-struc- tured batteries and super-capacitors, cre- ating a sandwich of materials that can take on the shape of body panels of a car and store and charge energy, was used. The material can be moulded and formed to fit around the car’s frame in locations such as door panels, trunk lid and wheel bowl, substantially saving on space. The skin of the vehicle would essentially act as one large thin, lightweight battery. A carbon fibre-based composite forms the electrodes in the novel energy storage units.
