This shown application is still a frontrunner in lightweight engineering. If you like getting more details please visit us at #Fakuma in Hall B 4 at our stand 4302 29th #Fakuma International Fair for Polymers 15.–19. Oktober 2024 in Friedrichshafen First all-plastic brake pedal for #battery-electric sports car! ENVALIOR and a leading TIER1 jointly developed a 50 percent lighter brake pedal compared to a part made from steel that is suitable for large-scale #production using hybrid molding without loss of properties. In a battery-electric sports car, every gram of weight counts. That is why the first mass-production vehicle in this segment is using an all-plastic brake pedal. This safety-critical component owes its high mechanical strength and very low weight to a #thermoplastic composite design. Its structure comprises an insert made from Tepex dynalite, a continuous-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite from ENVALIOR, and several tapes. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dU5XAxn

This is a great example of what can be done with thermoplastic composites regarding mechanical properties and with thermoplastic processing technologies regarding complexity of design and production efficiency. I first heard about this component in the lecture of Prof. Dr.-Ing.Helmut Schürmann when this component/application was still being a vision but feasible.
