HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

Honda

The Japanese company has purchased giant aluminum casting machines from Swiss-based Bühler Group and plans to transform its former gasoline engine production plant in the U.S. to produce next-generation vehicles with these equipments.
With a total order of 6 machines and plans to install all of them by the end of 2025, Honda will be able to produce nearly 1 million rear chassis per year.
The single-piece chassis decision, which Nissan also officially made yesterday, was first implemented in the automotive industry by Tesla in 2020.
The single-piece chassis design, where hundreds of structural components in a car are produced and assembled directly onto the vehicle body in a matter of minutes using large aluminum casting machines, has become a standard in the industry.
This shift allows electric vehicles to become lighter, cheaper, and safer. It also minimizes battery damage in the event of a collision.

Tesla

⚡Magnesium is 75% lighter than steel and approximately 33% lighter than aluminum,. It will soon begin to be used in automobile chassis production.
🟢Today, magnesium casting machines are generally used in the production of parts weighing a few kilograms. LK Machinery and iDRA have made significant technological developments in this field. Both announced that they can produce magnesium casting parts up to 20 kg with their new machine called &#8216;Giga Plast&#8217;, paving the way for its use in the automotive industry. The same two companies had previously developed #Tesla&#8217;s giant single-piece aluminum casting machines.
⚙️ These machines are first used to transform the structural elements of various electric vehicles. They are made possible by TPI technology, in which a type of semi-molten magnesium called &#8216;Thixomolding&#8217; is simultaneously heated and compressed and pressed into the casting chamber.
🏭 Apart from the Chinese LK Machinery and its Italian iDRA, some other companies are also working on magnesium casting machines. It is expected that this technology will start to find a place in electric car chassis manufacturing by 2025.
🚙Considering that Tesla&#8217;s single-piece aluminum chassis weighs 60-80 kg, it seems difficult for magnesium to replace giant chassis parts in the near future. However, the fact that magnesium casting technology can be integrated into existing Giga Presses shows that this may be possible with the development of 40, 60 kg systems.
⚡The transition from steel chassis to magnesium in conventional cars will provide a weight reduction of up to 75%. However, in the near and medium term, the idea of ​​using aluminum + magnesium chassis parts together is more dominant.

The one-piece chassis design pioneered by Tesla allows the production of lighter, more durable, cheaper, and faster vehicles, but it raises questions about repairability.
According to the latest research published in England, Tesla has taken serious measures regarding the repairability of the rear chassis in light and medium-sized damage. In case of a complete chassis replacement, it is possible to obtain a new giant chassis from Tesla by paying a small fee of ~$900 + VAT. (Thatcham Research)

The one-piece chassis produced using 3 series aluminum can be welded in case of breaks of a certain size after an accident, and the resulting break does not prevent the vehicle from getting back on the road safely. However, the real problem in major accidents is the damage to the battery pack.
Damage to the battery pack in the event of an accident increases the risk of explosion and fire, as well as accelerating the loss of capacity of the battery. In this regard, it is very important that the one-piece chassis has high strength and that it does not bend and break in major accidents instead of crushing the battery pack, in order to protect the battery, which constitutes the largest part of the vehicle cost.
According to the forecast shared by S&amp;P Global Mobility, the use of single-piece chassis instead of old-school chassis in the automobile market will reach 15-20% by 2030.

How To Repair Cars With One-Piece Chassis?

Tesla is setting the new industry standard in electric vehicle production thanks to its one-piece chassis and &#8216;unboxed&#8216; approach.
In the Toyota-Tesla rivalry brought to the agenda by the Financial Times, Elon Musk&#8217;s revolution in car production drew attention. According to experts, Tesla is setting the new industry standard in electric vehicle production thanks to its one-piece chassis and &#8216;unboxed&#8217; approach.
Instead of designing hundreds of parts to form the vehicle chassis, Tesla managed to produce the front and rear chassis in a single piece with giant aluminum casting machines. With this design, Tesla managed to impress world giants such as BMW, Volvo, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Hyundai, especially Chinese manufacturers.
The one-piece chassis will lead to a transition to a more efficient method in vehicle assembly at the next level, instead of the Toyota approach that the industry has been following for many years. It makes it possible to produce cars in a shorter time with less equipment and personnel/robot arm in a smaller factory area.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-40077 size-full" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Ekran-goruntusu-2023-11-06-140519.jpg" alt="" width="825" height="1000" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Ekran-goruntusu-2023-11-06-140519.jpg 825w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Ekran-goruntusu-2023-11-06-140519-248x300.jpg 248w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Ekran-goruntusu-2023-11-06-140519-768x931.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px" />
Elon Musk shared the introduction of the third-generation vehicle platform at the beginning of the year. The &#8216;unboxed&#8217; method allows more personnel to operate more efficiently by using working time more efficiently during the production of a vehicle.
In the Tesla-style vehicle assembly described in the footage, work is carried out on the front and rear chassis produced in one piece, while the seats and upholstery are assembled on the structural battery pack. In the approach, where the glass roof is prepared simultaneously and these four components are mounted on the pre-painted body, there is no need for the pre-and post-paint assembly/disassembly cycle in the existing car assembly line, and the completion time of the assembly is significantly reduced as more personnel work on different parts of the vehicle simultaneously.
Tesla wants to adapt this method to the chassis so that it will produce the entire vehicle chassis and some body elements in 2025 and beyond with hundreds of tonnes of casting machines with 18-20 thousand tonnes of compression force. The €25,000 Tesla will be able to be launched with much more advanced hardware and software than its competitors thanks to these and similar savings in production.

Tesla Sets The New Standard In Car Production

Tesla is preparing to produce the entire electric vehicle chassis in one piece.
The chassis produced in one go instead of 400 different chassis parts will both increase production speed and reduce costs.
Tesla Model Y&#8217;s chassis, which currently consists of a structural battery in the front, rear, and middle, will turn into a single piece. The true unibody chassis is expected to be used first in the cheap Tesla worth $ 25 thousand.

The molds to be used in the production of the monolithic chassis can be produced with 3D printers with industrial sand. Design approval time will decrease from 6-12 months to 2-3 months.
While the cost of a mold during the design changes of the vehicle from prototype to mass production can reach several million dollars, this cost will be reduced by almost 97% with the system that Tesla will adopt.

Tesla Prepares To Produce The Electric Vehicle Chassis in One Piece

Toyota

Toyota will switch to a unibody chassis design like Tesla. The unibody chassis design, which helped Tesla reduce the cost of production, managed to attract the attention of Toyota after Volvo and Volkswagen. The Japanese giant announced in a press release that it will use a single-piece chassis in both the front and rear of its new electric vehicle platform, which it will launch in 2026.

The solid chassis, which will gradually halve the production cost and reduce the factory investment volume, will be used for the first time in the electric Lexus. It will go on sale in 2026. It is stated that this vehicle will come with a new generation battery that will push the limits with 965 kilometers.
Toyota, which will first get rid of 85 different parts by producing the rear chassis in one piece, will then transform the front chassis and combine a total of 175 chassis parts into two giant parts. The company will realize this transformation with systems similar to the 6,000-ton giant aluminum casting machines that Tesla bought from Italian iDRA.
