A complicated car component like a tailgate must meet exacting aesthetic requirements, guarantee a tight fit, and conceal several hidden components like hinges, lock mechanisms, and electrical wiring.
In addition, tailgates must resist deformations caused by mechanical and environmental factors while remaining stable and waterproof. As a result, the material choice, design, and manufacturing of two- and three-layer tailgates must take impact resistance, expansion, and durability into account, especially as they relate to the tailgate structure.
Three more thermoplastic tailgates will be put on the market within the next two years thanks to Trinseo Automotive's successful assistance in the development of two of them.
Lighter weight tailgates are essential due to these reasons as well as the increasingly strict CO2 emission laws. Weight reduction is largely achieved by optimizing surface size, material density, and part thickness. Trinseo's Application Engineering & Design Centre (AEDC) may offer support with design, structural, and process engineering knowledge to support tailgate innovations.
The Global EV tailgate plastics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The first all-thermoplastic rear-opening module from Plastic Omnium (Levallois, France) has begun production for the brand-new Peugeot 308. The tailgate weights 12 kg, which is 3 kg lighter than a similar product constructed of steel, and was created in the -Sigmatech research and development center in Lyon before being manufactured in two French plants in Langres (Haute-Marne) and Fontaine (Territoire de Belfort). The new EV tailgate plastics are completely recyclable and give automakers more design flexibility.
The all-thermoplastic tailgate adds to Plastic Omnium's line of rear-opening modules, which also includes hybrid tailgates built of thermosetting resins and thermoplastics and thermoset composite tailgates. This innovation results in a wide range of products suitable for automakers with various design and weight reduction requirements.
Over the next five years, Plastic Omnium expects to increase the revenue generated by this product line while producing more than a million tailgates globally. Plastic Omnium has reinforced its dedication to creating vehicle weight-reduction solutions with the redesigned tailgate in an effort to assist automakers in meeting the tightest environmental regulations with regard to carbon emissions.
