Plastic Omnium inaugurates a new development center in Tokyo

Plastic Omnium inaugurates a new development center in Tokyo for its automotive business.

This center, which groups together 80 people, is designed to support Plastic Omnium’s growth among Japanese automotive manufacturers. It houses the design and management of the development of new automotive programs and ensures sales development for all Plastic Omnium’s automotive activities – exterior components and modules, fuel systems and emissions control systems – for Japanese manufacturers.

Today, Plastic Omnium partners the Japanese manufacturers Honda, Isuzu, Nissan, Suzuki and Toyota, which it supplies on 4 continents and in 14 different countries. The share of these manufacturers, which represents 6% of Plastic Omnium’s global automotive revenue, is expected to increase with the construction of new production capacity and the development of innovative offerings.

The Group is in particular involved in the construction of a new Asian plant for Maruti-Suzuki and has recently launched production of the SCR emissions control system for Toyota’s diesel vehicles at its Kitakyushu plant in Japan.

Plastic Omnium starts production of its SCR diesel vehicle emissions reduction systems for Audi, Volkswagen and Porsche

Plastic Omnium is currently developing a technique to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from diesel vehicles called SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction). SCR technology is based on the injection of an aqueous urea solution called AdBlue®, into the exhaust system.

Upon contact with the hot gases, AdBlue is converted by hydrolysis to ammonia, which then reacts with the nitrogen oxides to emit non-polluting water and nitrogen. The system reduces NOx up to 95%, bringing the level of NOx emissions of diesel vehicles below that of petrol vehicles, and into compliance with future environmental standards.

In early 2015, Plastic Omnium began production of SCR systems for the Volkswagen Group new MLBevo platform. Following the Audi Q7, in production since February, production of SCR systems for the Audi A4 has just begun in the Polish plant in Lublin. The Audi A5, Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne will be equipped with the system from 2016 and 2017. A total of 2 million SCR systems will be provided to the Volkswagen Group over the lifetime of this platform.

Plastic Omnium, World no. 1 for fuel systems (more than 18 million fuel tanks produced in 2014), is now one of the leaders in SCR systems, in a market that is growing strongly due to tighter environmental standards for NOx reduction (Euro 6 in Europe and Tier 2 Bin 5 in North America). Worldwide, the SCR market will grow from 1.6 million systems in 2014 to 6.4 million in 2018 (0.6 million, and 5 million in Europe, respectively).

With the launch of this major contract for the Volkswagen group, Plastic Omnium confirms the development potential of its SCR technology, now adopted by nine global manufacturers (Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Renault, Nissan, Toyota). Plastic Omnium’s production volume, which totaled 300,000 units in 2014, is expected to grow to 2.2 million units in 2018, representing a global market share of 35%. The SCR system will contribute to achieving the target of a turnover of 7 billion euros for the Group in 2018.

Bordeaux Métropole awards two new markets to Plastic Omnium Environment

Bordeaux Métropole (formerly CUB (Bordeaux Urban Community)) – which covers 28 towns and villages and 724,000 inhabitants – has awarded Plastic Omnium Environment two important markets for a four-year period.

The first market involves the supply of more than 140,000 wheeled waste collection containers for the collection of household waste and the selective recycling of waste.

The second market, which has just been awarded, is the maintenance of waste equipment.

Plastic Omnium will provide these services from its service base at Mérignac, where ten people are employed.

Plastic Omnium wins awards for its innovations in the field of composite materials with PSA Peugeot Citroën and Hyundai Motor Europe

On March 10, Plastic Omnium will receive two ”Innovation Awards“, from JEC, the world’s largest composite materials industry organization, for two innovations developed jointly with partners, one with PSA Peugeot Citroën and the other with Hyundai Motor Europe.

JEC will present 18 prizes on that day, each one honouring an equipment category. Plastic Omnium will receive awards in two categories:

  • In the Automotive Body-in-White category, Plastic Omnium and PSA Peugeot Citroën have developed a solution replacing the traditional steel underbody with a self-supporting thermosetting resin floor reinforced with fiberglass. This notably reduces the number of parts to be assembled from more than 30 to just 4 main components and gives a weight reduction of 8 Kg for a mid-range model. This technology is compatible with the systems used to assemble car bodies and can be used for a multi-material approach with steel;
  • In the Automotive Safety category, Plastic Omnium has developed a front impact beam for Hyundai Motor Europe that is 43% lighter. This represents a weight saving of 3.7 kg compared with the same part made of sheet steel. A new technology combining a pultruded fiberglass and carbon fiber reinforcement overmoulded with a thermoplastic resin makes it possible to achieve high levels of performance at a competitive price.

These two innovations provide the same level of impact resistance as current parts made of metal.

The aim is to equip a first Hyundai vehicle with this new impact beam by 2017. The innovation could then be used on future vehicles.

The PSA front floor equipped the Peugeot 208 Hybrid Air and Citroën C4 Cactus Concept Airflow prototypes showcased at the Paris Motor Show in October 2014. The first applications envisaged could be unveiled in 2020.

Furthermore, in a few months’ time Plastic Omnium will launch the production of its first composite recycled carbon fiber-based structural part for a leading European carmaker.

Through its work on new generations of high-performance plastics and recycled carbon fibers, Plastic Omnium is endeavoring to make composites increasingly accessible for mass production applications in the automotive industry.
