Toyota's adoption of gigacasting technology aims to significantly lower electric vehicle production costs, with a new machine capable of 9,000 tonnes of clamping pressure.
Utilizing gigacasting allows manufacturers to mold several components into one piece, leading to reductions in vehicle mass, improved vehicle efficiency, and optimized production costs.
The Lexus LF-ZC, an upcoming all-electric sedan, will feature gigacasting for its modular body, similar to the Tesla Model Y, streamlining parts usage.
Toyota's gigacasting machine, the largest in Japan, will be produced by Ube Machinery, differing from Tesla's IDRA and LK Technology machine, showcasing innovative automotive manufacturing.
