At a time when electric cars ⚡ could soon be affected by the ❌ weight-based malus, carmakers are looking for innovative solutions 🚀 to lighten vehicles without compromising their safety and performance. The use of organosheet is therefore emerging as a promising alternative 🌟 Compared with steel, this composite material made up of a continuous fibre reinforcement and a thermoplastic matrix makes it possible, once shaped in an injection process and combined with a reinforced thermoplastic overmoulding, to achieve higher strength 🦾 while being much lighter 🪶

✅ What are its advantages?

⚖️ Reduction in total vehicle weight: better fuel efficiency and greater range

💯 Durability and longevity: material resistant to corrosion, impact and usure

🛡️ Strength and rigidity: better energy absorption and high resistance in the event of impact

🌍 Environmental impact: less CO₂ emissions for combustion vehicles

💶 Economic advantage: lower taxes and production costs adapted to mass production

The integration of organosheet parts therefore makes it possible to significantly reduce the weight of vehicles 🚗 helping to reduce the carbon footprint 💨 and taxes associated with weight 📉

🟢 At EMI, we are proud to be involved in the development of innovative solutions 🌟 that contribute to the future of sustainable mobility🔌
