DEAR READER,
These days it is impossible to imagine life without the car and it is impossible to imagine cars without plastics, which brings us neatly to the launch of the first magazine devoted wholly to the use of plastics in cars.
The subject is a mass of contradictions: car manufacturers are becoming increasingly global with mass-production based on platform technology, yet the trend is towards more individual cars – only possible using plastics.
More functions are being incorporated into cars without increasing production overheads – only possible using plastics.
Cars are becoming ever more efficient, making use of alternative, but substantially heavier, sources of energy, yet the cars weigh less – only possible using plastics.Welcome to the innovative world of polymers in the automotive industry, take a test drive with us in the first issue of Polymotive.
