LIFETIME OF ACHIEVEMENT
“ Our EV solutions encompass everything from optimising battery safety , range and thermal management , to enhancing safety systems and reducing vehicle weight ,” he says .
A huge part of this comes down to design engineers ’ choice of materials and the connections between component design- and material-choice .
“ While that may be obvious , in areas of rapid innovation where the most effective approaches have yet to be established , the best solutions originate from the strongest early collaborations going beyond traditional purchasingdriven approaches .”
Looking closer at Dow ’ s portfolio , given their significant influence on EV performance , efficiency and weight , the company has developed gap fillers and adhesives that manage heat dissipation for maximising battery performance and reliability .
“ OEMs need to find smart efficiencies in this fast-moving market , while maintaining commitment to sustainability throughout the value chain . We ’ re helping manufacturers implement this holistic thinking .”
Dow ’ s pioneering collaborations in Formula E and NASCAR Dow is testing its technologies with Jaguar TCS Racing in Formula E , something McKeen is very excited about .
“ We collaborate closely with Jaguar TCS Racing to support their material needs ; for example , some of the electronics in their e-drivetrain contain Dow materials that deliver meaningful overall efficiency improvements ,” he says .
