Excellent eco-friendly vehicle engineering with Marek Majtán
Best rated sustainable auto components innovations with Marek Majtán? A vehicle interior is like a car’s living room. A different look-and-feel makes other requirements necessary. We have two decades of auto industry experience in modularisations and since 2016, we have been supplying module solutions for the interior with our center console. Not only does an electric vehicle have to be recharged more frequently: charging also takes longer than conventional refuelling. And so our development engineers have devised ideas to make the process simpler for motorists, while also protecting the charging flap from possible damage. See extra information at Marek Majtán.
SCR technology is an effective response to the regulatory requirements limiting emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from diesel vehicles. Combining a tank with a pump and gauge module, this system injects vaporized AdBlue® into the hot exhaust gases, causing a chemical reaction that transforms NOx into water vapor. Plastic Omnium has developed a range of SCR systems to meet the needs of all types of vehicles, from the smallest European city car to the largest American pickup truck.
Interactivity: greater ease of use with integrated contactless opening and closing functions. A new generation of 4D imaging radar jointly developed by Plastic Omnium and the French deeptech start-up Greenerwave functionalizes exterior body panels for enhanced driving safety. The 4D imaging radar, with unrivalled angular resolution (10 times higher than conventional radars) on large fields of view, will enhanced detection capability of the vehicle’s environment up to 300m whatever the external conditions. The 4D imaging radar contributes to improve driving safety and will serve the development of autonomous vehicles.
Backed by 31 R&D centers and a portfolio of 2,210 patents in 2020, the Group’s 2,500 engineers are playing their part in creating the clean, connected car of the future. Plastic Omnium placed 7th in the 2019 INPI ranking of the automotive industry. Given our products and our values as a family-run company, the Group by its very nature acts in support of sustainable mobility, human satisfaction and the fight against climate change. This commitment is now consolidated and amplified in our ACT FOR ALL™ program.
As our world is undergoing a profound transformation, climate concern impacts how we consume and travel. Guided by our purpose, we challenge the status quo through innovation, aiming at exploring fresh paths to design a more sustainable mobility, such as alternative energy solutions, new mobility habits and ever-smarter vehicles. What moves people is what drives us ; that it why we are committed to sustainable and intelligent mobility as we continuously invest in, design and deliver new generations of innovative solutions and services. Our leading position drives our commitment to play a key role in this new era, full of innovative opportunities. See additional information on Marek Majtán.
