The automotive industry is making every effort to develop in a low-carbon and intelligent direction, and innovative material solutions are the key driving factors in this process. In line with this industry trend, Covestro and Gaohe Automobile, the global benchmark brand for luxury electric vehicles, announced the establishment of a joint laboratory during the Sixth China International Import Expo to promote the development of low-carbon material solutions and smart technologies for future travel.

The establishment of the joint laboratory is based on the cooperation agreement signed by the two companies at last year’s CIIE. It will focus on the commercialization of low-carbon material solutions for future electric vehicles and the formulation of relevant standards, as well as next-generation smart surface technology and Development of battery solutions.

“We are pleased to deepen our cooperation with Gaohe Automobile.” Dr. Markus, CEO of Covestro
Steilemann said at the unveiling ceremony of the joint laboratory held at Covestro’s CIIE booth, “We hope to address the key challenges of future mobility through the establishment of the joint laboratory. With our joint commitment to leading low-carbon smart mobility, and combining With the strengths and resources of both parties, we believe this laboratory will accelerate the automotive industry’s transformation towards a smarter and climate-neutral future.”

Ding Lei, founder, chairman and CEO of Gaohe Automobile, said: “Gaohe Automobile hopes to redefine the luxury brand in the new era. By accelerating the implementation of smart and low-carbon technologies in the new energy smart car industry, we will bring global users Safe, efficient, green and pleasant travel experience, thereby changing the future of human travel and contributing to society. Covestro’s advanced material solutions and technologies are the key to helping us realize this vision. Gaohe and Covestro established a joint venture The laboratory comes from the recognition of China’s innovative power represented by Gaohe Automobile by the world’s leading partners. We also hope to use the platform of the CIIE to empower global partners and work together in both directions to create a win-win situation.”

Covestro showcased HiPhi, Gaohe Auto’s latest high-tech luxury SUV, at its booth at the China International Import Expo.
Y. Its headlight mask and lidar mask both use Covestro’s advanced polycarbonate solutions. As the intelligence level of electric vehicles continues to improve, in addition to lighting functions, car headlights also provide the possibility of digital communication.

The headlight mask of HiPhi Y has been given a projection function, which can display various logos and patterns in front of the vehicle to enable interaction with pedestrians and other vehicles. High optical performance Makrolon® from Covestro
AL material has excellent dimensional stability, high transparency, and UV resistance to meet the needs of this application. Additionally, Makrolon® used in lidar masks
AX material has higher infrared transmittance than traditional glass, can meet the requirements of curved surface modeling and impact resistance, and can withstand the long-term high-temperature working environment of lidar between 110 and 115 degrees Celsius.

Wang Li, Global President of Covestro Engineering Plastics Division, said: “The automotive industry is in the process of transitioning to carbon neutrality, and the demand for recycling and low-carbon footprint materials is growing rapidly. This growth trend will continue in the near future. It will be faster. We hope to cooperate with more like-minded companies like Gaohe Automobile to lead the development of smart technology while promoting the trend of carbon reduction.”

Gaohe Automobile has been a partner of Covestro since 2018. Covestro’s material solutions have been used in many of Gaohe Auto’s flagship models, such as the luxury pure electric supercar SUV HiPhi
X’s “smart” B-pillar uses Covestro’s multifunctional polycarbonate solution; luxury pure electric supercar HiPhi
In Z, the steering wheel touch switches full of futuristic interaction also use polycarbonate products, and its interior uses high-performance water-based polyurethane adhesive solutions.
