Driving automotive improvements by reducing weight, fuel and emissions

Application : Automobile

Vehicle manufacturers are faced with growing demands from regulators, customers and investors to increase manufacturing productivity, boost vehicle operating efficiency and reduce environmental impact. To reduce fuel consumption, cars need to lose weight and gain engine efficiency. Yet safety concerns call for increased robustness and more onboard technology. Vehicle manufacturers are looking for new and innovative ways to address these challenges.

New and advanced materials, improved performance of components or new ways of manufacturing components are all part of the solution.

Our specialized coatings improve wear resistance and the life of key components. Advanced materials make designs more compact, reduce weight or friction losses in the engine, and make new design solutions possible.
