According to the latest IEA report, over 4 million electric cars were sold worldwide in the first quarter of 2025. This represents a 35% increase compared to the same period in 2024. China leads the way with 2.5 million units, followed by Europe with 900,000 and the United States with 360,000. But the most impressive figure is the forecast for the whole year: over 20 million electric vehicles sold, a jump of 25%.
This is no longer just a trend, but a structural transformation of the entire automotive supply chain. And while the revolution is most visible on the roads, it began much earlier: in the production phase.
The electric car industry requires extremely precise and clean processes. The materials are different from those used in the past, the geometries are more complex, and the tolerances are tighter. This is where vacuum technologies come into play.
Vuototecnica has been supplying essential components for handling and assembly in highly specialized industrial environments in the automotive sector for many years: suction cups for sheet metal and glass, vacuum generators for rapid and repeated cycles, and systems designed to meet the new requirements of this rapidly changing field.
From the handling of battery panels to the assembly of body parts and composite interiors, from the painting stages to the assembly of components, vacuum technology optimizes every step, ensuring efficiency, safety, and precision.
