Local car makers join hands with plastic suppliers to establish a lightweight technology alliance


Luzhou, Hebei (December 4, 2012) A group of multinational resin suppliers and Chinese car companies recently formed a technology alliance to increase the content of plastics in local brand cars, hoping to narrow the gap with foreign countries and increase the number of local brand cars. Fuel efficiency.


The International Automotive Lightweight Technology Alliance (Asia) was announced in Zhuozhou, Hebei. The members include multinational plastic raw material producers Rhodia, DSM and Arkema, as well as China's large-scale local automaker Changan Automobile Group Co., Ltd. , Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. and Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd.


The detailed agenda of the alliance is still being negotiated. In view of the fact that the average amount of plastic used by domestic economic vehicles is only 50 kilograms per vehicle, far behind 130-180 kilograms per vehicle in the United States, Western Europe and Japan, participants have seen many potential opportunities.


The member companies of the alliance stated that Chinese automakers use a relatively large proportion of metal parts in automobiles, and these heavier parts make the car's fuel efficiency lower and may cause more pollution.


However, coalition members said frankly that they did face some challenges, including the need to recruit more Tier 1 auto parts suppliers. Among the more than 20 founding companies and members of the alliance, there are not enough Tier 1 suppliers.


The alliance was initiated by the China-European Chemical Manufacturers Association in Shanghai and its Automotive Plastics and Innovative Materials Committee, which will also provide administrative support.


Cao Du, chairman of the alliance and vice president of the Chang'an Automobile Group General Engineering Institute, said that the alliance hopes to bring together the six key drivers of the Chinese automotive industry: automotive manufacturers, auto parts and accessories manufacturers, and materials. Suppliers, government agencies, industry associations and major universities.


He said that in particular, local brand car manufacturers and material suppliers do not know much about each other's capabilities and needs.


Cao Du also served as vice president of the Automotive Plastics and Innovative Materials Committee (APIMC) of the China-European Chemical Manufacturers Association. He was the sixth international automotive lightweight plastics and innovative materials development forum held in Luzhou, Hebei, from November 28th to November 29th. We accepted the interview. APIMC is the organizer of this conference.


Jean-Claude Steinmetz, president of APIMC and the vice president of automotive business at French resin supplier Rhodia, said that the alliance will focus on the important demonstration projects involving Chinese automakers, Tier 1 suppliers and raw material suppliers in the initial stage. .


In an interview at the summit, he said: "After two days of discussion, we must establish the main deliverables for the next six months for a clear project. This process should be started within six months and fully implemented.



Suspended Platform

Suspended platform, as temporary suspended cradle platform, are widely applied in maintenance applications such as curtain fecade cleaning in high rise building, painting, glazing repairs, bill- board painting, cable installation and other outer working of high rise building up to 150 meters about 30 floors high. Our ZLP series suspended platform cradle, ZLP1000, ZLP800, ZLP630, ZLP500, ZLP400 and ZLP150, are good choices for fulfill above outside of wall work. Based on the different materials, the suspended platform could be divided into Aluminum Working Platform, steel Working Platform, galvanized Working Platform.

ZLP series temporarily installed suspended platform is an ideal access equipment for building facade construction, decoration, cleaning and maintenance. It can be also applied to other aerial working such as elevator installing, ship building, construction of dam, bridge, large chimney, etc.

This equipment is easy to operate, convenient to move and reliable in safety and much more efficient than traditional scaffolding.
