Automotive Press Release) Valmet Automotive pursues two-fold
approach to EV engineering
Valmet Automotive, a leading service provider for the automotive
industry, applies a two-fold approach to EV engineering. The company
is reinforcing the R&D efforts, while simultaneously complementing
them with an integrator role.
Valmet Automotive is an
established global pioneer in electric mobility, both in engineering
and manufacturing. With the increasing popularity of electric
vehicles, Valmet Automotive has made electric vehicle engineering a
strategic focus area.
EV engineering has reorganized and extended its resources to meet
the requirements of the two-fold approach. Firstly, in component
engineering, R&D focus is on drivetrains and batteries. Valmet
Automotive also intends to establish an EV Software Competence
Center. Secondly, Valmet Automotive focuses on EV engineering as a
solution integrator. With generally low level of component and
solution standardization in EVs, a capable integrator is a valuable
asset to both established and startup companies.
“For decades, automotive industry has leaned on highly standardized
solutions. Now they are no longer applicable; the powertrain for
example must be engineered for every EV model separately” comments
Markus Hirvonen, Project Manager, Valmet Automotive.
At the Geneva Motor Show, Valmet Automotive presents its competences
in EV engineering in a unique way. The demonstrator “Dawn”
integrates both the component developer and integrator roles.
Displaying the battery pack, drivetrain, control unit and charging
options, it also shows what ultimately can be achieved in the world
of electric mobility, by integrating solutions in an innovative
fashion.
”Valmet Automotive has world class competences in EV components and
their integration in a complete vehicle. Our experience in EV
engineering, manufacturing engineering and series production are
assets to our customers”, says Ilpo Korhonen, President, Valmet
Automotive.
