Due to the low energy density of batteries, the weight of new energy vehicles (especially electric vehicles) is large, and the driving range of new energy vehicles is long, so the problem of lightweight is more prominent than that of traditional cars.
Due to its advantages of low density, corrosion resistance, good plasticity and easy recovery of aluminum alloy, aluminum forging has become the preferred material for new energy vehicles to realize lightweight.
With the increasing maturity of domestic manufacturers and parts manufacturers, the proportion of aluminum forging and parts of domestic new-energy vehicles are also increasing.
The small, all-electric SUV (ArcFOx-1) on display, for example, had an aluminum-forged frame and a large number of non-metallic composite outer covers that helped to lighten its weight.
The ES8 series electric cars exhibited by NexteV at the auto show for the first time adopt 100% aluminum forging material for the body frame, and even the engine and battery pack are aluminum forging products, striving for the perfection of lightweight.
Range anxiety has been a bottleneck in the development of electric vehicles. With the help of lightweight designs and lightweight materials, many of the new energy vehicles on display at the show have significantly improved their driving ranges, typically reaching 300-500 kilometers.
In the new energy commercial vehicles, the application of aluminum forging is also deepening.
Electric logistics vehicles, as an important subdivision of new energy vehicles in China, have developed rapidly in recent years. It is expected to further develop the application space of aluminum forging in new energy logistics vehicles.
