In comparison to glass, polycarbonate glazing has a lower weight and a lower thermal conductivity, both of which result in a reduction in the burden on the EV batteries used for propulsion and HVAC.
Results from a CFD simulation of polycarbonate glazing’s advantages for HVAC load, electric range, battery longevity, and internal glazing temperature are reported. The scenarios include moving and stationary vehicles as well as hot and cold climates.
For polycarbonate rather than glass, interior glazing temperature is closer to cabin air temperature in both seasons, promoting occupant comfort and reducing fogging. These advantages of polycarbonate glazing’s lower thermal conductivity are distinct from those associated with its less weight.
The four-seat LS-EV represents a well-to-wheel zero-emission strategy that brings together know-how in durable, light-weight materials and processing and molding technologies and Applied EV’s innovative mobility vehicle platform.
The Blanc Robot platform, which incorporates a novel high-efficiency driveline and full drive-by-wire technology, is completely constructed from the ground up.
The vehicle uses materials and technical know-how and is built on the Blanc Robot zero-emission platform. It is an autonomous vehicle that achieves previously unheard-of levels of energy efficiency, using about as much energy as a pedestrian. Additionally, it can be applied to automated driving systems.
The Global EV Plastic glazing market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A novel lightweight EV Plastic glazing launched by Bayer MaterialScience is ideal for glazing vehicle roof structures. When compared to items made from similar types of glass, the material offers weight savings of up to 50%.
At the IAA Frankfurt auto show last year, a prototype of a Webasto-developed roof module with glazing and integrated solar modules was displayed as a component of an electric vehicle.
Due in large part to the thin panoramic panel manufactured of Makrolon AG2677 polycarbonate, the module only weighed 20 kg. polycarbonate may be used to create automotive glazing that can significantly reduce the weight of the batteries that are still very substantial for electric automobiles.
