From Energy Saving to Mitigating Global Warming--
The ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Group's Efforts to Protect Our Planet

The ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Group's Thermal Management Solutions:
Paving the Way for the Era of Electric Vehicles

Aluminum has high thermal conductivity, a property that is used to achieve thermal management in products throughout many fields.
Thermal management is especially important for hybrid and electric vehicles, collectively known as xEVs. The power control unit, power semiconductors, lithium-ion batteries, and other such components represent the "heart" of the xEV, appropriately controlling the power to the vehicle. When these numerous components convert electrical energy into drive power, a lot of heat is generated. Aluminum cooling plates protect the heart of the xEV by removing this heat.
To meet the needs of automakers and parts manufacturers, we provide optimal solutions for customers, who genuinely appreciate the way Team ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ brings together group companies and divisions to share information and technologies. Thus, the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Group supports the widespread adoption of xEVs as the automobiles of the future.

The aluminum hydroxide and alumina handled by ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Light Metal's Chemicals Division also feature excellent thermal conductivity. Our differentiated particle size, shape, and particle surface treatment technologies are highly regarded and used as a heat-dissipating filler for the resins used in xEVs.

Innovations in Thermal Management Contributing to a Sustainable World

The ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Group also pursues technological development to further enhance thermal solutions. One example is our "Aluminum+1" technology that addresses the increasing sophistication of electronic devices by bonding aluminum with other materials such as copper or resin to create multi-materials that offer benefits such as thermal conductivity, weight-saving and strength, tackling diverse challenges that cannot be solved by a single material alone.
Our thermal management solutions utilizing aluminum and chemicals and derivative technologies not only protect automobiles and electronic components from heat, but also facilitate energy savings by delivering more efficient heat utilization. This in turn supports decarbonization by enabling the development and spread of xEVs, as well as the advent of a hydrogen-powered world. The ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Group will continue to advance thermal management as an indispensable tool for building a sustainable world.
