    North America’s largest advanced battery event brings original equipment manufacturers, business leaders, and top-industry companies together to discover ground-breaking products like high-voltage cables and safety-critical solutions for commercial electric vehicles.


    SAINT-LAURENT, Quebec, September 7, 2023 (Newswire.com)
    –
    ProEV, a division of Electrical Components International, is proud to be exhibiting at The Battery Show, the premier event for the North American battery and EV ecosystem. The event, from September 12-14 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan, brings together more than 15,000 engineers and business leaders from more than 775 battery and EV manufacturers to spotlight the latest developments in commercial EV high-voltage technology.

    ProEV, the center of excellence for electric vehicles at ECI, will display and demonstrate its newest emerging electrification and high-voltage cable technology and safety-critical solutions at Booth 1957. The company said it expects the demonstrations to generate noteworthy discussions on high-voltage cables, which are essential in the development of commercial EVs.  

    “The Battery Show offers an unparalleled opportunity to exhibit our technology and meet with the top industry companies,” said Jarred Knecht, President of ProEV. “It is a significant platform for conversations around evolving technology. Attendees can anticipate an enlightening experience from ProEV’s participation.”   

    Knecht said one strength of The Battery Show is how it creates opportunities for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to visit and learn from exhibitors about the supply chain for the electric vehicle market and how to partner with other manufacturers.   

    “We are always keeping up-to-date on the latest technologies to make sure we understand what is coming up in the future, and The Battery Show allows us to garner ideas with potential partners on how we can advance technology,” Knecht said. “We can show new technical solutions, like how we are working with new interconnect solutions, more advanced connectors, more advanced high-voltage systems. We are inspecting and tracing all of our products using our proprietary AI, KonnectAI, a gap creator that is in line with our autonomous, zero-defect future.”  

    Knecht said the show also will allow ProEV and other suppliers to demonstrate the strength of their supply chains and their ability to deliver what OEMs need. “We have long-term agreements with our customers, so their supply is solid,” he said. “We have allocated capacity and support all raw materials, so they are protected. The theme today, and that we will see at the show, is about how to protect the supply chain in the future and learn and evolve from the past. We want to make sure it is solid because now, as volumes are already climbing.”   

    The Battery Show also provides opportunities for component manufacturers who are not yet involved in vehicle electrification.   

    “If they want to figure out how they could use their products in electric vehicles, or manufacture different products for EV, they should definitely attend the show to educate themselves on where there might be opportunities and establish supply partners,” Knecht said. “Any OEM that is building anything electric should attend this show because it gives them a perspective on the underlying componentry and technologies of what’s available and what’s coming.”

    To meet the ProEV team at The Battery Show, schedule an onsite meeting by contacting Catherine Dela Cruz at catherine.delacruz@ecintl.com. Individual sessions can provide exclusive opportunities for an in-depth examination of ProEV’s latest electrification and high-voltage solutions and discussion about safety-critical components.

  • ProEV’s Investments Pay Off as Commercial EV Sector Grows

    ProEV’s Investments Pay Off as Commercial EV Sector Grows

    [ad_1]

    New dedicated facility for design and manufacturing of electric vehicle components positions firm for growth alongside truck and bus OEMs.


    MONTREAL, May 30, 2023 (Newswire.com)
    –
    The electric vehicle (EV) sector’s exponential growth continued in the first half of 2022, with a 62% increase in global sales over the same period in 2021. Market expert McKinsey & Co. predicts EVs will dominate the truck market by 2035. Anticipating these trends, Promark Electronics, in 2015, created its ProEV™ division, which has made recent investments in technology, enhanced systems, and talent to position itself as a leading interconnect solutions supplier to commercial EV manufacturers. In 2021, Promark Electronics was acquired by Electrical Components International, a global wire harness engineering and manufacturing business, to position itself as the leader in commercial vehicle electrification. 

    “Promark was already a well-established supplier of electronic components for the aerospace and defense industry and realized that the industry’s need for top-quality, safety-critical parts aligned well with the EV sector,” said Jarred Knecht, president of the ProEV™ and Promark divisions. 

    “We did our research and realized that we wanted to be in vehicle electrification, the single largest change in propulsion systems in 100 years, the biggest change in our lifetimes. You just can’t ignore this market,” Knecht said. 

    In August, ProEV™ opened the largest dedicated EV electrification facility in North America, the culmination of years of investing in manufacturing and quality-control technology and engineering, design, and technician professionals.  

    “We don’t have difficulty attracting people to join our team,” Knecht said. “As soon as we tell them we’re working on the next generation of transportation, the mission, and the sector that we’re serving, it’s a self-fulfilling process. Everyone wants to be a part of it.” 

    Knecht says ProEV™ is positioned for the industry’s future growth. The commercial EV market is poised for tremendous growth. “The transition to ZE vehicles will disrupt the entire truck value chain and its players,” states the McKinsey September 2022 report. By 2024, OEMS will have 70 models of EV trucks on the market, and by 2035, the consulting firm said, the majority of new trucks sold in the United States, European Union and China will be electric.  

    Market intelligence and advisory firm Mordor Intelligence reported that the commercial EV market, valued at $67.51 billion in 2021, is projected to reach $258.78 billion by 2027. One driver in the United States is new regulatory requirements. While most commercial trucks, vans, and buses on the roads today are diesel-fueled vehicles, proposed legislation, like the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) vehicles rule, may mandate OEMs to manufacture a certain number of zero-emission vehicles. 

    Those trends have Knecht forecasting a strong market for ProEV™’s new facility and expanded workforce. “OEMs are ready to build vehicles, designs are strong, and the value proposition for transitioning to an EV fleet is compelling,” he said. “We are excited to support this once-in-a-lifetime change in transportation in North America.”
