In anticipation of high growth across the hybrid market (5.5
million cars in 2020 versus 2 million in 2015), Plastic Omnium
(Paris:POM) is introducing a new-generation plastic tank for
plug-in hybrid vehicles.
The plastic tank, featuring new INWIN technology, is 40% lighter
than the metal model currently fitted on the majority of plug-in
hybrid vehicles. It is designed to withstand the pressure created
by fuel vapor when the vehicle is in electric-drive mode over long
periods of time.
The technology developed by Plastic Omnium is covered by 163
patents.
An initial tank will be delivered in December 2016 for Hyundai’s
plug-in hybrid vehicles in South Korea.
By the year 2018, seven additional models for three other
auto-makers in Asia and Europe will be fitted with this innovation
from Plastic Omnium.
Plastic Omnium is thus confirming the success of its technology
offering and nonstop commitment to providing auto-makers with
innovative solutions to reduce pollutant emissions from
vehicles.
