The Group designs and manufactures battery systems, electronics and power electronics components for electric mobility in trucks, buses, trains and construction equipment, regardless of the type of engine used: hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electrics or fuel cells. Plastic Omnium’s high-pressure fuel tanks are able to meet the specific requirements of the engines in plug-in hybrid vehicles: an innovation to help advance the energy transition.
Interactivity: greater ease of use with integrated contactless opening and closing functions. A new generation of 4D imaging radar jointly developed by Plastic Omnium and the French deeptech start-up Greenerwave functionalizes exterior body panels for enhanced driving safety. The 4D imaging radar, with unrivalled angular resolution (10 times higher than conventional radars) on large fields of view, will enhanced detection capability of the vehicle’s environment up to 300m whatever the external conditions. The 4D imaging radar contributes to improve driving safety and will serve the development of autonomous vehicles.
The major automotive hub Wuhan is home to the Group’s first Chinese production facility, opened in 2008. Ten years later, Plastic Omnium has three plants in the area, employing 650 people. Wuhan has since become a pilot city for the Chinese government’s hydrogen program and the site of Plastic Omnium’s newest R&D center (2019). On behalf of its customers in Asia, ω-Omegatech is developing energy storage and emission reduction systems for all engine types, and zero-emissions hydrogen systems.
As a leader in sustainable and connected mobility, Plastic Omnium organized the Innovation Challenge “ The Future of Eco-designed Vehicles ”, in partnership with SoScience. The goal? To accelerate innovation by drawing on collective intelligence in an Open Innovation approach, bringing together start-ups, manufacturers, academics and, of course, Plastic Omnium teams to imagine disruptive solutions for “The Future of Eco-Designed Vehicles. This open innovation approach nurtured passionate exchanges and amazing collaborations: a great way to meet the challenges of a more sustainable mobility. See additional information on Marek Majtan.
