ŠKODA AUTO uses eco-materials in its vehicles and is researching biological raw materials
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
› Innovative eco-material for potential use in the interior, patent pending
› Residual materials and natural products come from local sources wherever possible
› ŠKODA AUTO’s Technical Development is collaborating with the Technical University of Liberec on the research and development of sustainable materials
› ŠKODA #auto will be making even greater use of natural and recycled materials in the production of future models
Mladá Boleslav, 22 September 2021 – In collaboration with the Technical University of Liberec, ŠKODA AUTO’s Technical Development department has developed a sustainable, ecological material and applied for a patent. The innovative raw material is made from
sugar beet pulp. ŠKODA #auto is also researching another material based on the reed plant miscanthus. Both could be used in the interior of new ŠKODA models in the future, for example for the door trim and decorative inlays in the dashboard. Using a purpose-built
OCTAVIA, ŠKODA #auto demonstrates the wide range of possible applications for the new materials.
Johannes Neft, ŠKODA #auto Board Member for Technical Development, explains: “We aim to play a pioneering role in the area of sustainability. We are taking a holistic approach to this issue, and we are addressing much more than just the CO2 emissions of our vehicle fleet; we are also focusing on researching and using ecologically sourced materials and investigating, for example, how materials such as coconut fibres or rice husks can be used in the future.”
ŠKODA #auto has already applied for a patent on one material that is ideally suited for use in the interior of its vehicles; the car manufacturer uses a special process to dye sugar beet pulp to create design accents in the interior. The car manufacturer obtains the material directly from the town of Dobrovice, not far from its headquarters in Mladá Boleslav. This avoids long supply chains and
optimises the CO2 footprint.
ŠKODA #auto has obtained another sustainable material from the reed miscanthus: The fibres can be processed and used for the door trim, for example. Organic residues from production make excellent ecological raw materials, as they can be processed further without the need for additional resources. This reduces the requirement for industrially produced raw materials.
