Global Pressures On Vehicle Lightweighting

• 70% global auto sales require reduced emissions

• Japan, China, EU index standards to vehicle mass

• USA & Canada index standards to vehicle size (impacts lightweighting)

EPA Will Likely Finalize 2025 CAFE

• California - Big Influencer – Weighed In

• New Administration may have difficulty reversing the standard

• EPA’s decision based on lengthy technical review, reaffirming an existing regulation

• Cost to develop vehicles that comply with stricter standards are lower than EPA projected in 2012

• New Developments - EVs, HEVs, stop/start systems, variable transmissions, cylinder deactivation, turbo charging, light weight vehicles developed faster than expected


7


How Are We Doing?

• U.S. OEMs on track to meet 54.5 mpg by 2025

• Mfgs producing vehicles that meet the 2025 standards

• The current generation of vehicle redesigns is routinely achieving 5% weight reduction on average (some much higher)

• Several MY 2016, 2017 vehicles reduced weight by 10-15% with a single re-design including: Ford F-150,Opel Astra, GMC Acadia, Chevy Equinox and Camaro and many others

• Weight reductions achieved using a multi-material approach, updated mfg processes and computer simulations

BMW i3 – All Carbon Fiber Frame

1. Carbon fiber is 50% lighter, but 570% more expensive than steel.

2. By 2025 – 2030,

expected to reach the price of AL today.

Next Gen Tech MattersHow Will Plastics Enable Significant

Lightweighting?

• Clean sheet design to optimize vehicle lightweighting

• Change in design/mfg. mindset (plug/play)

•Composite intensive multi- material construction

• Greater industry collaboration (US Gov’t, National Labs, OEM, Tiers, Plastics Industry = YOU)

• Change in traditional manufacturing processes


11

Next Gen Tech MattersEnabling Vehicle Lightweighting with

Plastic Composites

• Continue RD&D Funding for plastic composites

• Eliminate OEM barriers to greater plastic & composites use

• GAPS in greater use already identified in ACC Roadmap

• Prioritize & Fund Projects to bridge these technical GAPS

• More than any ONE organization can do


12


Prioritized Gaps

• Predictive Engineering/Analytics• Joining Dissimilar Materials (ACC

project)• Non Destructive Evaluation (ACC

project)• Development of Automotive CFRP

performance standards (ACC project)


13

Next Gen Tech MattersWhere Lobbying Adds Value:

Legislative Branch

• RD&D Funding through Congressional Appropriations and Federal Agency Research

• Ever-Evolving Process Enabling Plastics Industry Growth• Pre-Competitive Research

• Develop and ensure bill language to designate funding

• Direct an agency to engage and fund R&D projects to advance plastics, composites, and multi-material solutions

• Ensure language maintained through final federal budget appropriations

More .Than .

Any. One.

Organization. Can. Do.

The Road Ahead???

• What will the Trump Administration do?

• Nomination of Scott Pruitt, EPA Administrator

• Nomination of Governor Rick Perry, DOE Secretary

• Areas of Focus, Funding

• Will Plastic Composites R&D and advanced innovative manufacturing continue to be supported?


21


Unite – Collaborate -- Support

•Unite on Multi-Material Solutions and plastics composite platforms

•Unite to push R&D and advanced manufacturing forward under new Agency agendas and White House directives

• Together we can do more than any one organization can do

• For plastics to compete we must speak with ONE voice and collaborate

• As the plastics industry, it’s up to us.
