Geely is the latest automaker to use a manufacturing process first pioneered by Tesla as it aims to make their vehicles lighter and stronger than ever.
The newest and biggest press made by equipment manufacturer, IDRA, has a clamping force of over 9,000 tons. It can punch out the front and rear underbodies which support the car’s outer skin and provide a platform for suspension components. The front and rear sections are then connected with large under-floor battery packs to form a three-piece EV chassis.
Volvo Cars, which is majority owned by Geely, will also apply the technique, albeit in a smaller scale called “megacasting” for its next-generation EVs.
