Low-emission interior materials for vehicles Turbo-charged hoses meet the design requirements of the lightweight and downsizing engines New heavy-duty belt is setting a new benchmark for use in 48V mild-hybrid systems Polyamide mounting cross member is about 30 percent lighter compared to diecast aluminum versions Shanghai, August 2016. Green mobility is a key topic in the automotive industry. The car of the future is expected to be powerful and comfortable, and yet it must also be as fuel-efficient as possible, emit few CO2 emissions, and be manufactured as eco-friendly as possible. The only way to cope with these challenges is to rigorously upgrade technology and material. ContiTech develops and produces a comprehensive package of components, modules, and systems for this purpose. Three key aspects take center stage here: protecting resources, climate neutrality, and – last but not least stepped-up efficiency. This gives rise to products that improve the eco-balance – of vehicles without compromising comfort or driving pleasure. Four star products from ContiTech business units will be presented at 2016 Continental China Ride & Drive Event in Nine Dragons Hill in Pinghu, Zhejiang. Expertise in lightweight construction Polyamide components make an important contribution in terms of reducing weight, making vehicles more environmentally friendly, and making machines safer. ContiTech Vibration Control uses its expertise in lightweight construction to conquer other areas of application where metal once dominated. For the first time, the bearings specialist from Hanover in Germany has developed a differential mounting cross member from fiberglass-reinforced polyamide BASF Ultramid for the rear axle. The new variant is about 30 percent lighter compared to diecast aluminum versions. The rear axle mounting cross member from ContiTech is used in S-Class vehicle models with all wheel drive with the exception of the AMG range. The – component boasts optimum strength, good NVH performance, and high crash-protection. As a central component of the rear axle, it supports forces and torques of the rear axle transmission.
