Modular traction battery architecture: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Mechanical instability and weight penalties in electric drivetrains increase manufacturing costs and reduce range. Engineering the structural integration of the battery pack into the vehicle frame mitigates these risks through improved load-bearing efficiency.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Modular traction battery architecture?

Inefficient electrical cell interconnection

(101)evidences

Structural instability and poor electrical contact between cells lead to module failure. Ensuring robust physical coupling prevents electrical discontinuities and thermal runaway.

Premature battery cell degradation

(71)evidences

Inadequate heat dissipation in high-density battery packs leads to thermal runaway and cell degradation. Mitigating heat buildup prevents catastrophic failure and extends operational lifespan.
