VOLTERA EV: BATTERY ENCLOSURE PRODUCTION FOR NEXT-GEN ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Scaling EV battery housing from prototype to 3,000+ unit production
Results Achieved
Compared to single-vendor approach through distributed manufacturing.
Average lead time per batch of 400 battery housing assemblies.
With 100% pass rate on IP67 ingress protection testing.
Zero field failures reported across the first 1,000 deployed vehicles. Voltera hit their quarterly production target and secured fleet orders from major logistics companies.
The Breakdown
Industry: Automotive & EV
Why MetalMarket Technologies?
Voltera EV is a Chennai-based electric vehicle manufacturer transitioning from prototype to production on their flagship three-wheeler platform. They needed a reliable manufacturing partner to produce high-volume battery enclosures meeting automotive durability and IP67 waterproofing standards.
About The Company
Voltera EV is a Chennai-based electric vehicle manufacturer transitioning from prototype to production on their flagship three-wheeler platform. They needed a reliable manufacturing partner to produce high-volume battery enclosures meeting automotive durability and IP67 waterproofing standards.
The Challenge
The battery housing assembly was complex, and no single vendor could handle both the volume and quality requirements simultaneously.
- 8 interconnected CNC machined components requiring precise dimensional matching
- 3,200+ units needed within 6 weeks — an aggressive timeline
- Each unit had to pass vibration testing, thermal cycling, and IP67 ingress protection
- No single vendor in existing supply chain could handle volume and quality simultaneously
Missing the production deadline would mean losing fleet orders worth ₹15 crore and delaying market entry by an entire quarter.
The Solution
Metal Market orchestrated production across three facilities, managing the BOM, coordinating parallel production lines, and running a unified quality system — giving Voltera one-click visibility into every part across every factory.
Multi-Facility Production Orchestration
- Three vetted facilities specializing in automotive-grade aluminum machining
- Centralized BOM management and coordinated parallel production lines
- Unified quality system across all facilities
Quality & Testing Protocols
- Go/No-Go fixture gauging for dimensional verification
- 100% leak testing before shipment
- IP67 ingress protection validation on every unit
- Vibration and thermal cycling test documentation
“Managing three factories ourselves would have been a nightmare. Metal Market's platform gave us one-click visibility into every part across every facility. That's game-changing for an EV startup.”
— Arjun Menon, VP of Manufacturing, Voltera EV
