Plastic Omnium, world leader in intelligent automotive exterior systems, clean energy systems and complex modules, presents its latest solutions for clean and connected mobility at the Paris Motor Show.
A major player in the transition towards clean mobility, with solutions to: • in the short term, achieve the CO2 reduction targets for vehicles set for 2021: reduction in vehicle weight, active and passive aerodynamic optimization solutions and specific electronically managed tanks for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV); • in the longer term, aim for entirely decarbonized mobility, thanks to the fuel cell (up to 800 km autonomy with zero emissions). Essential know-how for manufacturing an autonomous, connected vehicle: • expertise in function integration: up to 50 high technology components incorporated into a bumper to increase human perception, and make driving simpler and safer. • mastery in complex materials whose physical properties make them permeable to the waves from embedded equipment for autonomous driving (radars, lidars). A Group that has made innovation a priority Plastic Omnium, with 31,000 employees in 122 plants in 26 countries, employs over 3,500 engineers in 24 R&D centers worldwide. The Group dedicates 6.4% of its revenue to Research and Development and is investing €100 million in the construction or extension to 3 R&D centers (France, Belgium and China). Plastic Omnium already has an eco-system of start-ups, partnerships with major universities and a Scientific Analysis Committee, bringing together internationally recognized experts in the areas of artificial intelligence, predictive data analysis and wave propagation. |
