Plastic Omnium is making hybrid vehicles lighter
In anticipation of high growth across the hybrid market (5.5 million cars in 2020 versus 2 million in 2015), Plastic Omnium is introducing a new-generation plastic tank for plug-in hybrid vehicles.
The plastic tank, featuring new INWIN technology, is 40% lighter than the metal model currently fitted on the majority of plug-in hybrid vehicles. It is designed to withstand the pressure created by fuel vapor when the vehicle is in electric-drive mode over long periods of time. The technology developed by Plastic Omnium is covered by 163 patents.
