Europe's plastic industry is entering a period of rapid development
If growth consulting companies in the United States, the stern Sullivan, according to a research report published in February European car manufacturing technology progress rapidly, the lightweight car is helpful to improve passenger comfort, will pull the demand of automotive plastics.
At the same time, increasingly serious environmental problems and regulation of carbon emissions have also led auto makers to pay more and more attention to the development of plastic. The application of plastics in automobile industry can not only reduce automobile fuel consumption and vehicle weight, but also achieve environmental sustainability, and also improve the design flexibility and safety. Typical applications include the application of automotive components such as baffles, fenders, airbags and seatbelts. In addition, the use of plastic on the bumper can improve the shock absorption, and the use of plastic on the hood can reduce the explosion risk. Plastic substitute other materials have been shown to reduce 50% of vehicle weight and the ability to make car fuel consumption by 25% ~ 30%. At the same time, reduce the vehicle weight 1 kg each of 20 kg can be reduced by carbon dioxide emissions. These advantages of plastic make it have broad development prospect in automobile market.
