Mobility becomes possible: creating innovations with high-performance plastics

Modern mobility solutions require innovative approaches that enable performance at the highest level, uncompromising safety and a resource and cost-saving use of materials .

In order to create such solutions, components and materials must meet high requirements. High-performance plastics can provide the foundation for this. For example, they combine low weight with performance and design. Thanks to their advantageous material-specific properties, they make numerous mobility solutions and applications possible in the first place. They shape change and create optimal solutions for existing concepts. Whether electric drive, hybrid model or combustion engine: high-performance plastics from Ensinger make an important contribution to the mobility of today and tomorrow. 


Performance & quality at the highest level 

Safe, energy-efficient, high-performance & affordable: high-performance plastics are driving the change towards a new mobility. The Ensinger portfolio for the mobility industry offers solutions for numerous applications in innovative mobility projects.
The advantageous properties of high-performance plastics drive innovation:
  • Electrically insulating 
  • Thermally conductive & protection against overheating 
  • Highly resistant & durable 
  • Tribological
  • Lightweight
  • Noise and vibration damping

benefits of ensinger plastic solutions for the mobility industry

Reducing weight

Lightweight construction solutions are key to the mobility of the future. This is because every gramme of weight saved leads to lower energy consumption and can therefore reduce overall energy requirements. Compared with conventional materials such as metal, high-performance plastics can help to reduce weight.

Tribologically optimized plastics

Our tribologically optimized plastics and component solutions reduce friction. They ensure low noise levels in sliding and friction applications, making them particularly suitable for e-mobility. 

Our plastic solutions for fuel cells as an alternative propulsion technology also help to extend service life and optimize range. Ensinger has therefore also specialised in material development and processing methods for PEMFC components such as bipolar plates and end plates. In collaboration with our customers, we are successfully replacing metallic materials and thermosetting composites with high-performance thermoplastic polymers.

Safety without compromise 

Plastics used for mobility solutions have fundamental material properties. They make applications safer, systems more reliable and minimize risks.

High-performance plastics have specific properties. By selecting the right material and mixing in additives, component requirements can be optimally implemented.

  • Fire safety through FR additives and inherent plastics
  • Suppression of explosion risks in fuel tanks through ATEX materials
  • Shock absorption, e.g. through fiber reinforced plastics
  • Emergency running properties, e.g. in the form of dry lubrication

Maximum design freedom for appealing styles and complex geometries

The plastics we use score not only for their interior: their flexibility, formability and changeability also enable visually appealing solutions without compromising performance. Even with complex and filigree applications, our innovative production technology makes it possible to achieve excellent surface quality and high dimensional accuracy.

Fuel Cell Materials and Fabrication

Hydrogen fuel cells are regarded as highly efficient power generators that produce/generate electrical energy by reversing water electrolysis. Due to their low emissions and good efficiency, there are numerous international efforts to further develop fuel cell technology. The Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is often the focus of these efforts. Ensinger offers proven materials and processing methods for such PEMFC components.
