Syensqo and General Motors’ Innovative Battery Module Wins 2024 Altair Enlighten Award.
Syensqo, a global leader in advanced performance materials and chemical solutions, is proud to announce its latest achievement: winning the 2024 Altair Enlighten Award in the Lightweighting Module category. This accolade was awarded for General Motors’ pioneering hybrid battery module structure utilizing Amodel® polyphthalamide (PPA). This innovative structure stands out for its remarkable 37% weight reduction and 25% cost savings, achieved through strategic part consolidation which eliminates the need for compression limiters, films, and coatings found in conventional battery modules.
Laura Hirschhorn, Executive Key Account Manager at Syensqo, said:
In the realm of electric vehicle battery design, lightweighting, functional integration, and part consolidation are pivotal trends.
“They not only enhance vehicle integrity but also extend the EV’s range. Amodel® PPA‘s exceptional metal replacement capabilities and design flexibility, coupled with its durability across a broad temperature spectrum up to 280°C, played a crucial role in the project’s success.”
