Engineers at the University of Maryland have developed a new technology that could enable next-generation EVs to be less prone to battery fires while increasing energy storage.
Magna currently has five factories worldwide that produce battery structures for startup and legacy OEMs, with several other facilities in the pipeline.
Electric vehicle manufacturers are deploying Industry 4.0 technology to improve visibility into production processes and enable assemblers to make better, faster decisions.
New technology can swap a discharged battery pack for a fully charged one in less than five minutes.
