The company is exhibiting products designed to address two pivotal challenges in EV development — weight reduction and safety — including a lightweight seat cushion frame that trims mass compared with conventional metal components while retaining the strength and rigidity required for mass-produced vehicles.
The proprietary frame, built on Hanwha's in-house composite design and processing technology, is engineered to boost fuel efficiency and extend driving range through structurally optimized design that cuts both thickness and weight without compromising crash safety or passenger protection.
Hanwha is also unveiling EV-specific parts already in serial production, such as a front trunk, or frunk, and a composite truck bed for electric commercial vehicles. The parts leverage the moldability, impact resistance and corrosion resistance of composite materials to expand cargo space, enhance design flexibility and reduce overall vehicle weight.
Among the flagship exhibits is a next-generation battery protection system comprising an underfloor structure and upper case, both currently under development. The integrated design reduces part count and achieves about 20 percent weight savings while incorporating materials technology capable of slowing thermal runaway propagation during battery fires, along with electromagnetic shielding.
"This exhibition will serve as a venue to explore technical synergies with our global automaker partners in advancing the lightweight performance and safety of electric vehicles," a Hanwha Advanced Materials spokesperson said.
"We will continue to propose practical composite-based solutions in step with the evolving mobility market and strengthen cooperation on the global stage."
