Reduction of pollutants through innovative plastics technology in cars

Lighter weight with equal or higher performance – this is the challenge facing the automotive industry, caused by the demand to reduce the emission levels and fuel consumption of motor vehicles. This is why innovative, extremely hard-wearing plastic parts of superior quality are becoming more and more important. Winkelmann Powertrain Components, a company based in Ahlen / Germany, recognized this trend at an early stage and has relied on thermoset materials for the production of belt pulleys ever since. WITTMANN BATTENFELD supplies the machines for this purpose.
