The Freudenberg Group has
announced its entry into the
fast growing Indian market
for electrical vehicles with 100,000
electrical scooters estimated to be on
the road already. The company's
special coating for battery separators
helps to prevent possible short
circuits in lithium-ion batteries,
which is expected to make e-mobility
safer. Freudenberg has developed a
separator that increases the intrinsic
safety of battery cells and thus helps
to prevent possible explosions. For
this purpose, a wafer-thin polyester
fabric is coated with a paste.
The product is a result of
indigenous innovation at the
company's R&D facilities
worldwide. As the world's largest
manufacturer of nonwovens, world
market leader in sealing and
vibration control technology, and a
specialist for filters and mechatronic
products, Freudenberg intends to
become the leading component
manufacturer for this highly
promising future-oriented
technology. The company is all set to
tap the market for battery
technology being used in electric
vehicles in the Indian market.
Through its group companies
across the world, Freudenberg
develops separators, seals, filtersystems,
etc. and mechatronics
solutions based on flexible printed
circuits for lithium-ion batteries.
