We develop
Textile structural elements (car body, bumper) made from high performance fibres, e.g. carbon, in order to improve passive safety and reduce weight:
Light weight designs from carbon with integrated functions:
 |
 |
 |
Bonnet made from carbon textiles |
New machines and processes for automated production of textiles and preforms for composites:
Textile structures for the car interior (e.g. nonwovens from recycled carpet fibres). The aim is to achieve "zero emission"-textiles that have a poised CO2-balance:
 |
Acoustic carpeting made of deep drawn nonowovens |
Integration of additional functions in the car interior section:
 |
Textile keys to operate electronic components. |
Intelligent safety equipment, e.g. innovative airbags and safety belts:
