Composites for Transportation
One main objective in transportation is to reduce the weight of the means of transportation to maximise passenger and cargo capacity and fuel efficiency per distance covered.
Advanced composites are instrumental in achieving ever lighter, more comfortable and better performing airplanes, trains, cars and boats. Specialising in aircraft interiors and spacecraft materials for years, Gurit expands with every new aircraft model more into secondary structure materials and certain finished parts as the aircraft industry becomes more system-orientated and global. Gurit also leverages its materials and technology expertise into areas like automotive and rail where it can offer industry-first technologies and leading-edge materials fulfilling the most demanding physical and safety characteristics. Composites are key for the next-generation means of transportation.
