Integrated structural battery cell assembly: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Standard chassis designs suffer from limited energy density and poor weight distribution. This architecture utilizes the vehicle underbody as a load-bearing housing to maximize storage volume while lowering the center of gravity.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Integrated structural battery cell assembly?

Inadequate vehicle structural integration

(14)evidences

External mechanical forces and debris threaten the integrity of battery cells located in the vehicle floor. Mitigating this risk prevents catastrophic structural failure and thermal runaway during operation.

Excessive vehicle curb weight

(13)evidences

Limited internal volume for energy storage in electric vehicles restricts range and design flexibility. Integrating storage into the floor assembly maximizes volumetric efficiency and structural utility.

Inadequate structural load transfer

(10)evidences

Standard energy storage units lack sufficient mechanical coupling to the vehicle chassis. Resolving this improves load-bearing efficiency and crash safety while reducing redundant weight.
