Engineered to excel in regional automotive platforms, ensuring high thermal transfer and system durability under varied climatic extremes.
Romania is rapidly establishing itself as an essential manufacturing node in Eastern Europe's automotive sector. As legacy assembly plants in Mioveni and Craiova transition towards hybrid and fully electric vehicle production, the local demand for specialized high-voltage components has grown exponentially. Driven by the European Union’s decarbonization directives, both domestic assemblers and international Tier-1 subcontractors within Romania require local access to optimized battery thermal management assemblies.
The harsh continental climate of the Romanian market—ranging from sub-zero winters in the mountainous Carpathian heights to dry, high-temperature summers in the Wallachian plains—places rigorous demands on Electric Vehicle (EV) thermal management systems (BTMS). Unlike conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) cooling, an EV battery pack must be maintained within a tight operational temperature window (15°C to 35°C) to prevent degradation, preserve driving range, and eliminate the risk of thermal runaway.

The performance of an EV battery cold plate depends heavily on the materials used and the welding techniques employed. At DCI Autos, we utilize high-purity aluminum alloys—such as 3003 and 6061—which offer excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and high thermal conductivity. To prevent long-term coolant leaks and ensure structure reliability under high vibration, we utilize advanced friction stir welding (FSW) and vacuum brazing techniques.
FSW produces defect-free joints with high strength, retaining the parent material's mechanical properties. This is vital for the snake-shaped cooling tubes and multi-channel heat exchangers used in cell-to-pack (CTP) designs, where space constraints demand thin-walled profiles. Additionally, our components undergo anti-corrosion surface treatments, including anodizing and chromate conversion coatings, to withstand road salts and moisture in challenging environments.
By combining precision metallurgy with specialized CNC machining, DCI Autos helps partners design thermal systems that maximize battery cycle life, ensure safety, and improve energy density.

Direct supply of high-density battery cooling plates, EV radiators, and water pumps for new energy transit and utility applications.
Sourcing EV cooling assemblies from China offers distinct supply chain advantages. The Pearl River Delta, centered around Shenzhen, contains the world's most concentrated EV component cluster. This ecosystem provides direct access to high-purity alloy extrusion facilities, automated brazing lines, and tooling shops. As a result, development cycles that might take nine months in Western Europe are often completed in less than twelve weeks.
At DCI Autos, we simplify the import process for our Romanian partners. Utilizing well-established shipping lanes from Shenzhen Port to the Port of Constanța, or fast rail freight connections via the New Silk Road, we ensure stable transit times. We handle customs declarations and export compliance documentation, allowing components to integrate into assembly lines in Pitești, Craiova, or Timișoara with minimal delays.
