Automotive Industry
Special chemicals and new various functional materials required in the automotive industry
In the face of climate change and energy shortage, electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles will replace fuel-powered vehicles to become the mainstream alternative fuel vehicles in the future.
Due to the development of global automotive industry and its integration with new technologies of various kinds, electrification and vehicle intelligence may become the future of automotive industry. Some new topics arising out of this trend are as follows:
- In order to build smart vehicles, IoT-related demand has driven up the use of chips. The use of EV battery module, advanced driver assistance systems and charging station also requires a more comprehensive thermal management solution.
- Whether it is an EV or conventional fuel-powered vehicle, demand for in-vehicle displays is on the rise. A car requires nearly 4~5 displays in dashboard, instrument cluster , front passenger seat, back seat and rearview mirror, and the requirements for display quality and size in mid/high-end vehicle models are also higher.
- For thermal management, SOLAR provides antifreeze coolant, e-coolant for EV and SHOWBRINE thermostatic liquid and brake fluid.
- In terms of new energy, SOLAR has actively developed precious-metal catalysts and recycling of spent catalyst for fuel cell to form a closed-loop cycle.
- As for vehicle intelligence, SOLAR assists clients to develop functional materials required for automotive chips and displays.
