Making cars safer Plastic Omnium embeds a growing number of technologies into bodywork parts and functions into surfaces. It aims to sell radar components or bumpers with embedded radar that are invisible to the naked eye. Together with Greenerwave, it is developing a 4D imaging radar. This technology offers a combination of excellent resolution, resilience and reliability under all weather conditions, providing a 300-meter view ahead. More style, longer range Design contributes to an electric vehicle’s range by helping to boost aerodynamic performance. From sweeping hoods to flat surfaces, the core concern is moving smoothly through the air. The global benchmark for the design and manufacture of bumpers and front-end modules, Plastic Omnium creates parts that make a vehicle both efficient and safe. Style that looks great and helps the planet With its Trends Wall, Plastic Omnium gives everybody the chance to design their own vehicles with their choice of shapes, materials and functions. With designs ranging from the most traditional to the most disruptive, the customer chooses the level of personalization they want for their vehicle while also reducing its environmental impact. The Group can produce bumpers that contain as much as 50% recycled materials, without compromising their looks in any way. Style that improves comfort Electric cars offer more space inside the vehicle, with interior lighting that is more sophisticated and adapted to suit particular activities. Its center consoles and cockpits are key elements in a vehicle’s look, perceived quality (surfaces, materials and colors) and the safety of its passengers. Plastic Omnium can integrate as many as 150 separate components into each cockpit module. NEW MANUFACTURING TOOL Sigmatech, our research and development center near Lyon, France, specializing in exterior bodywork panels, now boasts a 2,700-tonne double-injection molding press. It is used to produce smart, very large bodywork panels that combine optical and electromagnetic transparency with freedom of design. This innovation was used, among other things, to design and produce the rear tailgate for the new electric sedan from Lucid. Vehicles’ bodywork components and passenger compartments continue to become more personalized, stylized and intelligent. Plastic Omnium designs, produces and assembles complex modules that offer new experiences and make journeys safer. VEHICLES THAT ARE MORE CONNECTED AND STYLISH THAN EVER 30
