Stay informed and up to date on new energy vehicle applications of thermoplastic composites
| Application | Applicable LATP Process | Material (Reinf./Matrix) | Advantages |
| Battery Enclosures / Covers | LATP + Vacuum Forming | Carbon or Glass / PPS, PEKK, PP | Flame resistance, EMI shielding, mass reduction |
| Underbody Protection Panels | In-situ LATP | Glass / PP or PPS | Impact and corrosion resistance, low tooling cost |
| EV Motor / Inverter Housing Covers | LATP + Vacuum Forming | Carbon or Glass / PPS, PEKK | EMI shielding, thermal resistance, lightweight |
| Crash Absorption Modules (Front / Side) | LATP + Hot Stamping | Carbon / PPS or PEKK | High energy absorption, lightweight vs. metals, rapid production |
| Structural Battery Tray Floor | LATP + Hot Stamping | Carbon / PPS or PEKK | Mass saving vs. aluminum, flat geometry ideal for LATP |
| Interior Seat Back Panels / Load Floors | In-situ LATP | Glass / PP, PEI | Flame-resistant, lightweight, recyclable, moldable |
| Roof Beams / Crossmembers (Non-visible) | In-situ LATP | Carbon / PPS or PEKK | High stiffness, corrosion resistance, weldable |
