Looking at the evolution of the flagship models of the popular compact city cars over the last decades, one can see that their profiles have not only become more rounded but also are significantly longer and wider. Where does it come from and what challenges does it pose to designers in the automotive industry?
Automotive is a highly competitive sector. If you want to operate in it, all components—manufacturing, supply chains, innovation, quality—must work perfectly. There is no room for error here, but there is the possibility to develop thanks to Industry 4.0.
The automotive industry is making ever higher demands on suppliers and contractors due to the dynamics of the sector. Everything is changing; modern technologies are entering the game. In order to stay on the market, one has to be able to optimize costs without reducing the quality of goods.
As a world leader in EPP and EPS packaging, we at Knauf Industries have been developing both return and one-way packaging solutions for over 40 years. For the automotive industry, we produce mainly: boxes, crates and transport trays made of lightweight foam materials.
Scientific research has proven that listening to properly chosen music while driving a car relieves the driver’s stress and thus reduces the emotions on the road. However, a good audio system is not enough to achieve this effect. It is also necessary to optimally soundproof the cabin, which can be provided by components made of modern EPP foams used in its construction.
