Our areas of expertise: AcousticsOur acoustics experts develop, test and produce vehicle components and integrate them into tailored, multifunctional systems and modules. We utilize comprehensive measurement technologies to characterize materials and treatments. This systematic approach encompasses specific performance targets for all components so we can integrate the parts into an optimized solution.

And Thermal ManagementIn thermal management, we develop products and solutions for thermal protection and comfort. Our expertise is based on experimental tests and numerical simulation methodologies together with test benches and actual running conditions. This in-depth know-how and experience provide unmatched support to our partners and customers who wish to increase vehicle comfort and value.

Autoneum

In our Development & Engineering Centers, specialists develop, test and optimize new products and solutions in intensive cooperation with our customers. Our core competences in vehicle acoustics, thermal management and product development form the ideal basis for this.

Our in-depth knowledge and experience with plastics, fibers, foam, composite materials and metals are the driving force behind our coordinated, innovative solutions.

An example of a multifunctional component is Autoneum’s thermo-acoustic engine encapsulation approach. By keep-ing the engine bay warm for more efficient cold starting, it saves fuel. At the same time, it reduces engine noise.

Innovation is a critical competitive factor. Our experience and our drive for inno- vation enable us to contribute to making our customers’ products even more successful. Multifunctional components, a significant trend in the automotive sector, are adding value to vehicles.

Adding value to vehicles

Our knowledge of production processes allows us to supply components in a wide variety of materials and technologies worldwide. We produce customized solutions at more

than 40 manufacturing locations on five continents. Our global network of research, development and testing facilities guarantees innovative products in a total vehicle approach.

Autoneum is a global supplier of complete systems and solutions developed in close cooperation with automotive manu-facturers.

Sustainability

From design, via development and through the complete product life cycle, our primary concern is to minimize environmental impact. During the whole life cycle, our eco-efficient products reduce environmental stress. With our technologies, we minimize energy consumption and create closed-loop systems. Additionally, our eco-efficient plants help achieve superior production procedures.

Our answer to technology trends Far-reaching changes in the automotive industry demand innovative and sustainable concepts. Autoneum’s expertise in acoustics and thermal man-agement is ready to face these challenges.

New requirements The trend towards smaller, downsized engines requires a different approach due to reduced mass, gasoline direct injection and other factors. New concepts such as hybrid powertrains with their combination of electric drive and supporting combustion engine need special acoustic and thermal treatment too.

Reducing emissionsThe key target of many technology trends is CO2 reduction. New governmental regulations and growingpublic awareness lead to an increased demand for weight-reducing and aerodynamic components. Autoneum is a specialist for lightweight products. Its underbody panels with Rieter Ultra Silent offer lightweight aerodynamic properties improving fuel economy and lowering emissions with acoustic insulation. An optimized thermal management through engine encapsulation leads to less CO2 emissions too.

Minimizing exterior noise A further aspect of increased regulation and a priority in automotive manufacturing is the reduction of exterior automotive noise. Our effective solutions engineered for engine bay as well as underfloor and under-engine panels do not just lower noise levels. We support our customers in enhancing overall vehicle efficiency.
