Quality eco-friendly auto components innovations by Plastic Omnium’s Marek Majtán
High quality sustainable vehicle engineering by Marek Majtan? 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.

A world leader producing more than 18 million fuel systems annually. Weighing 30% less than their metal equivalents, plastic fuel tanks offer design freedom and optimal volume, while also ensuring reliability and durability. From injection to rotomolding and blow molding, Plastic Omnium is expert in high-precision industrial processes such as TSBM. TSBM technology allows the integration of complex and electronic components inside the tank during blow molding. The process offers reduced permeation with broad freedom in terms of component integration and light weight.
Integrating, concealing and protecting the radars, lidars and other electronic components in the connected car. Our technologies and thermoplastic materials offer optimal electromagnetic and light transparency, allowing extensive customization and communication with their environment. Lighter and more aerodynamic, these intelligent materials can additionally reduce CO2 emissions to just 5 grams per kilometer. To anticipate the challenges that come with those evolutions, Plastic Omnium has strenghtened its innovation strategy, with a CSR oriented and operational excellence.
