Tribology Testing for Electric Vehicles in Thailand

Burin Kerdsup | Researcher, Sustainable Manufacturing Center, National Electronics and Computer Technology Center, Thailand

Due to the electric vehicles (EVs) trend in Thailand, local auto-part manufacturers need to adapt. Tribological issues in EVs such as materials compatibility, dynamics, electrification, and thermal management are of high concern. As a result, lubrication technology, particularly for EVs, must be developed. In addition, tribology standards and testing for EVs are necessary to control EV performance and quality. This paper provides an overview of the tribology tests for EVs currently being developed in Thailand. The main focus will be on the tribology of electric motors and the required tests. Several existing equipment and testing facilities in Thailand will be presented. Major organizations and key drivers in tribology testing for EVs in Thailand will be provided. Most importantly, gaps and opportunities for local manufacturers will be discussed.
