As the number of electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing in China, Europe, the U.S., and new Asian markets, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need to find a way to expand range, decrease weight, and reduce production costs. As of 2024, China remains the main global electric car manufacturing hub, accounting for over 70% of the total worldwide production. The European Union exports increased by 9% from one year to another to almost 830,000 electric cars in 2024. The European Union was a net exporter of electric cars in 2024, importing around 680,000 electric cars.

Furthermore, the electrification of vehicles has resulted in a strong demand for light metal castings that need to be ultra-precise and of the highest quality. For instance, powertrain parts, such as battery housings, motor frames, inverter enclosures, thermal management systems, and charging units, are all made from aluminium and magnesium die casts processed to high precision and used for both performance and heat dissipation. Shibaura Machine’s 2025 news release announces that the 12,000-ton DC12000GS is for single-piece large aluminium vehicle body castings, because of the increase in demand caused by EV weight reduction, simplified body structure, and manufacturing efficiency.

Due to the increase in worldwide EV adoption, the need for sophisticated vacuum die casting, structural casting materials, and integrated giga-casting systems is anticipated to rise sharply, thereby making die casting a central manufacturing technology for new-generation electric vehicle platforms.
