News Article: Innovation-Driven: How New Materials and Automation Are Shaping the Next Generation of New Energy Wiring Harnesses?

As the global electric vehicle market enters a phase of explosive growth, the industry's focus has shifted from "having the technology" to "how good it is." In this ultimate contest concerning range, safety, and cost, the high-voltage wiring harness – the vehicle's "neural network" and "power artery" – is playing an increasingly critical role. Kenhan, a leader focused on high-voltage wiring harnesses for new energy vehicles, is defining the standards for the next generation of New energy wire harness through cutting-edge Advanced Materials Cable and Automated Wire Harness processes. We are collaborating with global OEM partners to push innovation in wire harness to new heights.

I. Industry Transformation: The Severe Challenges Posed by the New Energy Era on Wiring Harnesses

In traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, wiring harnesses primarily transmit signals and low-power electricity. However, in electric vehicles, high-voltage wiring harnesses need to carry voltages as high as 400V or even 800V, delivering hundreds of kilowatts of power, fundamentally changing their role. OEMs face four unprecedented core challenges:

1. Lightweighting Challenge: Every kilogram of weight reduction directly translates into increased range. Bulky traditional wiring harnesses have become a stumbling block for vehicle lightweighting.

2. Safety and Reliability Challenge: High voltage and high current bring greater thermal loads and potential short-circuit risks, placing nearly苛刻 demands on insulation, flame retardancy, and electromagnetic compatibility.

3. Production Efficiency and Consistency Challenge: Manual-dominated harness production struggles to guarantee absolute consistency for every New energy wire harness under complex processes, becoming a bottleneck for mass production ramp-up and "zero-defect" goals.

4. Cost Control Challenge: In a fiercely competitive market, optimizing costs while enhancing performance is a practical issue facing every purchasing and R&D manager.

Addressing these challenges requires disruptive innovation in wire harness, primarily manifested in two dimensions: materials science and manufacturing processes.

II. Material Innovation: Achieving Breakthroughs in Lightweighting and High Safety with Cutting-Edge Technology

At Kenhan, we firmly believe that exceptional New energy wire harness starts at the source – the materials. Our continuous R&D and application of Advanced Materials Cable form the cornerstone of our core competitiveness.

1. The Revolution in Lightweight Materials: Precise Application of Aluminum Conductors
To meet the lightweighting challenge, we are a pioneer in the large-scale promotion of high-performance aluminum conductor solutions within the industry. Compared to traditional copper wires, aluminum reduces weight by approximately 50% for equivalent conductivity. This directly contributes to overall vehicle weight reduction and improved energy efficiency. Our engineering team has perfectly mitigated potential risks of aluminum oxidation and electrochemical corrosion through special conductor annealing processes and connector plating techniques, ensuring the long-term connection stability and low resistance of the Automated Wire Harness.

2. Specialty Insulation and Sheathing Materials: Building a Firewall for Safety
Safety is the lifeline of high-voltage systems. The Advanced Materials Cable we use employs specialty silicone rubber as the primary insulation. Silicone material offers unparalleled resistance to high and low temperatures (-50°C to 200°C), excellent flexibility, and flame-retardant self-extinguishing properties. Furthermore, we widely use high-temperature resins and Lightweight Wiring Harness specific composite materials that meet UL94 V-0 standards for sheathing and critical components. These materials are not only lightweight themselves but also effectively prevent flame spread, building a solid "safety firewall" for the battery pack and vehicle occupants.

3. Optimization of Shielding Materials: Ensuring Signal Integrity
In the increasingly complex electromagnetic environment of modern electric vehicles, excellent electromagnetic shielding is a prerequisite for the stable operation of various vehicle controllers. Our Lightweight Wiring Harness utilizes optimized braided shield density and new composite shielding materials, achieving a perfect balance between lightweighting and functionality while ensuring superior EMC performance. This is a microcosm of our innovation in wire harness philosophy.

IV. Value Enhancement: Translating Technological Innovation into Ultimate Customer Advantages

Every technological innovation at Kenhan is ultimately aimed at creating tangible business value for our OEM partners.

• Weight Reduction & Extended Range: Through Advanced Materials Cable and structural optimization, our Lightweight Wiring Harness can achieve weight reductions of up to 30%, directly contributing to longer range for end vehicles.

• Enhanced Safety Margin: Based on the inherent properties of Advanced Materials Cable and the "zero-defect" guarantee of Automated Wire Harness, we significantly reduce the risk of vehicle thermal runaway caused by harness issues, protecting brand reputation.
