Die-cast giga presses can accelerate EV transition

Italian die-casting innovators’ growing client list signals a shift to more efficient holistic giga press car production and lighter EVs. By Lee Monks

As carmakers look to save energy and increase production capabilities while transitioning away from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, giga casting has emerged as a key innovation.
