Just as the development of the automobile and the shift towards electricity helped alleviate problems of the past, modern innovations like renewable energy, electric vehicles, and carbon capture technologies are essential in combating climate change.
The 1894 Horse Manure Crisis revealed the negative effects of rapid industrialization. Today, we can learn from past strategies to address the current climate crisis and promote a sustainable future.
The urgency of addressing environmental issues cannot be overstated. To achieve a sustainable future, we must adopt this approach that considers the interconnections between social, economic, and environmental factors.
In a world grappling with climate change, the push for sustainability has made electric vehicles (EVs) a popular choice. Some states are even phasing out gas engine vehicle sales by 2030/2035. However, considering the total impact of producing and operating EVs reveals a more complex picture.
In the 20th century, internal combustion engines drove progress, but now automotive manufacturers are rapidly transitioning to EV production, requiring new metrology approaches.
Earlier this year, AIAG released updated APQP and Control Plan reference guides, available at www.aiag.org. This release includes the stand-alone control plan document for completing control plans.
Traditional measurement methods struggle with complex geometries and modern plastic parts. Advanced vision measuring systems offer advantages for automotive manufacturers, but traditional tools are still preferable in some areas.
In the competitive electric vehicle (EV) industry, perfecting the battery tray's aluminum weld design is critical. It houses essential components and safety ensuring precise integration is crucial to prevent potential hazards such as torsion-induced bending of both the battery tray and the vehicle body due to thermal expansion of battery cells.
