Products & Services

KIRCHHOFF Automotive – MAKING. MOBILITY. SAFE.

The focus of our trade show presence will be on innovative structural parts in crash-relevant lightweight construction as well as body structures developed specifically for e-mobility. We offer solutions that make tomorrow's mobility safe! For example, a newly developed crash management system with a large deformation capacity.

In e-vehicles, the consequences of a frontal collision can be dramatic due to the lack of an engine block and therefore a shortened front end.

KIRCHHOFF Automotive's Crash Management System with large deformation capacity protects the car passengers and the battery. Our global production network includes the core technologies of forming, joining, lightweight design, and surface treatment, ensuring uniform standards around the world.

Our customers can take advantage of our expertise in automotive lightweight design.

We develop structural parts in hybrid designs: combinations of steel/aluminum or metal/plastic.

BMW 2 Active Tourer Front Axle Carrier

The front axle carrier is a complex chassis component for the further development (WE) of the BMW platform for the front-wheel drive architecture (FAAR).

Key features:
• For a large number of variants for the various vehicles on the FAAR WE platform our economical solution was to use as many identical parts as possible
• With clever design of the front axle carrier and local reinforcements we could reconcile the maximum permissible weight with crash safety.

BMW i20 Frontend & Crash Management System

The BMW SUV iX is designed for pure BEV (Battery-Electric-Vehicle) vehicles.
The introduction of force into the vehicle must be optimally designed for the requirements of e-mobility. Our newly developed hybrid joining concept for the front end is designed to meet these specified new load cases, thus ensuring continued occupant protection.
Technologies:
Front end: Aluminum forming
CMS front: Forming of high strength steel, laser cutting, laser & MAG welding, pickling, e-coating
