Plastic Omnium provides Lucid with engineering and production services for its first luxury electric sedan, the Lucid Air.
Plastic Omnium’s engineering and production expertise has supported the Silicon Valley-based carmaker in its ambition to design a unique high-end EV for the past five years. Plastic Omnium’s mission was to bring the designs’ intent to life, creating and delivering the Air’s front and rear panels, including fascias, rocker panels and decklid.
Plastic Omnium and TotalEnergies have signed a strategic partnership that will see them join forces to design and develop new plastic materials, made from recycled polypropylene, which meet the demanding aesthetic and safety standards that apply to the automotive industry.
Plastic Omnium and TotalEnergies will pool their innovation and engineering skills to design new types of recycled materials that offer enhanced performance and are better for the environment while providing deliverable responses to the challenges raised by end-of-life plastics. These new materials, containing 20% to 100% recycled materials sourced from industrial and domestic waste streams, have a CO2 impact as much as six times lower than using virgin materials.
