Automotive

With more than three billion vehicles on the road in the near future, mobility, emissions, fuel economy, and safety are critical. We invite you to collaborate with our global team to find science-driven, sustainable solutions.

Choosing the right material is crucial to balancing the need to design low-emission, fuel-efficient vehicles without compromising spectacle, convenience or cost. With more than one hundred high-performance product families and technologies and a global network of development experts, DuPont helps the automotive industry supply efficient vehicles and elevate the driving practice.

We are focused on developing innovative solutions for the automotive industry across eight automotive themes: Sustainability; Alternative Drive; Lightweighting; Improved Spectacle; Powertrain Efficiency; Total System Cost; Safety; and Convenience and Design. Together we can find the right solutions and build cleaner, energy-efficient cars that people love to drive.

WILMINGTON, Del., August 16, two thousand seventeen – Lightweighting tops the list of strategies automakers are using to meet the challenge of improved vehicle fuel economy ahead of the two thousand twenty five CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards implementation. That’s among the key findings of the seventh annual Ward’s Automotive Trends survey, released to coincide with the annual Center for Automotive Research (CAR) Management Briefing Seminars, recently held in Traverse City, Michigan.

Fresh innovations include DPM’s latest halogen free grades, an expansion of its thermal conductive resins portfolio, a fresh electrically friendly polymer line, innovative rubbers for wire and cable compounders, and the company’s latest high spectacle polymers for injection and suck molding processes.

WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 15, two thousand fifteen – DuPont will share scientific approaches that have identified opportunities to improve the energy density and spectacle of Li-ion batteries at the Battery Display & Conference, Sept. 15-17, Novi, Mich.

AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 20, two thousand fifteen /PRNewswire/ — Toyota has chosen Goodyear Wrangler tires exclusively for its most off-road capable mid-size pickup—the two thousand sixteen Tacoma TRD Off-Road grade.

TROY, Mich., Aug. Five, two thousand fifteen – While lightweighting and engine efficiency again top the list of strategies the auto industry is using to meet two thousand twenty five CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards, the annual WardsAuto survey, sponsored by DuPont Automotive, shows all technologies are getting more emphasis as the mid-term review deadline looms.

TROY, Mich., Jan. 12, two thousand fifteen – DuPont Global Automotive Technology Director Jeff Sternberg plans to challenge the almost two hundred attendees at a Plastics News event next week to think differently about what plastics can do and when to engage materials suppliers to make the best use of inherently lightweight plastics.
