Precision fasteners by Kilton for electric vehicles

Kilton, a well-established fasteners company, produces fastening systems for a huge variety of sectors, including automotive. Today, we want to focus specifically on fastening solutions for electric vehicles. "In recent years, electric cars have been driving the major innovations in the automotive industries, shaping the future of mobility and batteries," says Silvano Chiello, Kilton CEO.

The role of all fasteners, including screws, bolts, and nuts, needs to be reconsidered to align with the demand of the electric vehicle market: "We anticipate a decrease in heavy fasteners and a significant reduction in large bolts associated with the engine. Small-sized fasteners play a key role for both vehicle structures and components such as charging units and battery enclosures of electric cars, as they need to ensure high levels of strength, safety, and electrical insulation."

In the design of electric cars, even the weight of a single bolt matters, as Mr. Chiello states: "A fundamental aspect in building electric cars is lightweight construction; lightweight fastening systems are crucial for creating vehicles with lightweight structures."

To ensure adequate performance, every Kilton product undergoes rigorous quality testing and meets the highest industry standards. Additionally, the company actively collaborates with its customers, providing consultation, customization, and technical support to ensure proper application and seamless integration with various vehicle components. "With nearly half a century of experience in the fasteners field, we at Kilton work together with our clients to develop solutions that adapt to market changes and perfectly meet the needs of the latest technologies, including the use of thin materials. Our product range has evolved over time to include fasteners for plastic materials."
