Plastics hold the key to a host of safety and performance
breakthroughs in today’s cars, minivans, pickups and SUVs. In
automotive design, plastics have contributed to a multitude of
innovations in safety, performance and fuel efficiency. Today’s
plastics make up 50 percent of the volume of new cars but only
10 percent of the weight, which helps make cars lighter and more
fuel efficient, resulting in fewer CO2 emissions. Tough, modern
plastics also help improve passenger safety and auto designers
rely on the versatility of plastics when designing today’s cool
cars. ACC's Automotive Group Website and vital resources related
