Project: Lightweight inflatable car elements for more efficient vehicles
Our goal is the production of inflatable textile parts for vehicles, especially cars. The first product to be manufactured and delivered will be an inflatable radiator shutter with an electronic and pneumatic control unit. At the beginning the shutter will be installed on a range-extender hybrid vehicle to demonstrate its advantage in terms of aerodynamics and cooling-optimization for the 2 different driving modes, but its application range will also cover cars with internal combustion engine
