Sika is sponsoring the Peak Evolution expedition, a challenging project to reach a new world record. The Peak Evolution team is developing an innovative and sustainable agricultural vehicle called TERREN, working completely with electrical power.
The electric vehicle space is an area that will provide a tremendous opportunity to converters and others working with high-performance, pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes.
Automakers are investing heavily in electric vehicle (EV) technology and are setting long-term goals for phasing out internal combustion engines. This strategic shift is driven by government policy, long-term competitiveness, and innovations in lithium-ion technology and production that have extended the EV driving range and reduced battery pack costs.
The transformation of the world’s vehicles from internal combustion engines (ICEs) to electric vehicles (EVs) relies in large part on what holds the vehicles together—namely, adhesives.
