Weight reduction is an important goal for OEMs to improve fuel efficiency, and to comply with ever stricter emissions regulations. Especially in electric vehicles, weight plays a decisive role: The lighter the vehicle, the larger its range.
Lightweight plastic motor mounts enable significant weight savings compared to any comparable metal application. Because the glass fiber reinforced polymer is directly injected onto the rubber isolation element, no lower metal insert is needed, making very short processing times possible.
Vibracoustic has developed a wide range of technologies – from design and simulation to mass production – using glass fiber reinforced polymers in order to offer a comprehensive portfolio of lightweight plastic motor mounts for all kinds of requirements.
Motor mounts control engine movement in all directions, thereby ensuring excellent driving comfort and driving dynamics without compromising on performance.
