In recent years, the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions has become one of the most important issues in automotive industry. Therefore, the European Union intends to limit CO2 emissions per vehicle up to 120g on average by 2012. Lighter weight components can contribute to lower overall automotive weight, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and less CO2 emissions. To achieve this goal, we have developed advanced polypropylene (PP) composites for automotive parts and we demonstrated that these materials were successfully applied to automotive parts. |
