项目摘要

In the EU, fleet auto emissions targets are set at 95g CO2/km by 2020 and 68g CO2/km by 2025 and the UK has committed to achieving net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. One key factor affecting the emissions of CO2 from cars is weight - reducing a vehicle's mass by 50kg reduces its emissions rate by 5gCO2/km. Lightweighting through the use of composite materials is increasing, but the rate of adoption is limited by material cost and processing times. Thermoplastic overmoulding (TPO) addresses these barriers through the judicious use of high performing materials in local areas combined with the high rate processing capability of injection moulding.Our project will bring together leading researchers from the University of Nottingham and Michigan State University, with Surface Generation, a high technology and manufacturing company headquartered in the UK and with facilities in North America and Asia. Surface Generation's patented Production to Functional Specification (PtFS) technology enables manufacturers in the aerospace, automotive and consumer electronics sectors to work with composite materials, saving costs, energy and producing significantly lighter weight products.Our proposed research, building upon the highly successful predecessor project TOSCAA, will allow automotive Tier 1 and OEM suppliers to adapt overmoulding techniques in the creation of components for the UK, EU and Global automotive market.

在欧盟中，到2020年到2025年，车队自动排放目标设定为95g CO2/km，到2025年，到2050年，英国已承诺在2050年实现净零二氧化碳排放。一个关键因素影响了CARS中的CO2排放量，从CARS中降低了5GCCO的重量，将车辆的质量减少了5GCCO。通过使用复合材料的轻量级正在增加，但是采用率受材料成本和处理时间的限制。热塑性过度塑造（TPO）通过明智地在当地使用高性能材料来解决这些障碍，再加上注入模具的高速处理能力。 Surface Generation's patented Production to Functional Specification (PtFS) technology enables manufacturers in the aerospace, automotive and consumer electronics sectors to work with composite materials, saving costs, energy and producing significantly lighter weight products.Our proposed research, building upon the highly successful predecessor project TOSCAA, will allow automotive Tier 1 and OEM suppliers to adapt overmoulding techniques in the creation of components for the英国，欧盟和全球汽车市场。
