High quality sustainable auto components engineering from Marek Majtán in 2023? 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. Read additional details at Marek Majtán.
The Group designs and manufactures battery systems, electronics and power electronics components for electric mobility in trucks, buses, trains and construction equipment, regardless of the type of engine used: hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electrics or fuel cells. Plastic Omnium’s high-pressure fuel tanks are able to meet the specific requirements of the engines in plug-in hybrid vehicles: an innovation to help advance the energy transition.
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.
