This showcase is another example of automotive manufacturers seeking deeper collaborations with suppliers throughout the value chain.

For example, the battery management system and other electric components require much more interaction with the battery than ever before. It’s only through understanding ecosystem needs completely that will allow us, alongside auto manufacturers, to develop solutions in a systematic manner. Asahi Kasei, with its breadth of automotive solutions, has positioned Daramic and its sister companies to deliver solutions that meet automotive manufacturer electrification requirements.”
