Technology innovation lies at the heart of the worldwide automotive market, which is undergoing significant transformations. Passenger and commercial vehicles are experiencing fundamental transformations across all segments as they, tomorrow, become cleaner, lighter, more comfortable and more premium. To achieve this (r)evolution, automakers need global partners – such as Faurecia – able to combine their technology leadership and engineering know-how with an organization shaped for the steady development of global automotive markets.

Faurecia, the world’s sixth largest automotive equipment supplier, has these three key assets in its genes. On the one hand, the group boasts a global industrial footprint and organization, present in all key automotive markets, right at the doorstep of the world’s leading car manufacturers. On the other hand, it has deployed a worldwide network of R&D and innovation centers, known as TechCenters, de-facto research and development labs at the very center of its technology strategy.

Nr. 1 worldwide in emissions control technologies and vehicle interiors, Nr. 2 worldwide for Automotive Exteriors and Nr. 3 worldwide for Automotive Seating,

Faurecia is reinforcing its Brazilian footprint with the commissioning of South America’s largest exhaust systems production facility and a state-of-the-art R&D center (TechCenter).

Based in Limeira, a city in São Paulo state inlands, the new plant will also host the South American headquarters of its emissions control business group. With the inauguration of the new plant, Faurecia will have 18 industrial units in Brazil.

The TechCenter is the first in emissions control in Brazil. From its commissioning, the Brazilian unit will be managing the whole development cycle for the product, which means considerable gains for its service levels, quality, timing, costs and process, resulting in an important evolution for the service provided to its clients in Brazil and Argentina.

With the new plant and TechCenter located in Limeira, and located close to many renowned automakers established in Brazil, Faurecia further confirms its commitment to the promising Brazilian automotive market, where the Group first started its operations in 1997. The new Faurecia Plant & TechCenter in Limeira concentrates the Group’s expertise in the fields of emissions control technologies.

Manufacturing plant

New manufacturing center concentrates, at the same facilities, the company’s operations formerly based in Pindamonhangaba and will progressively integrate the production lines from its other Limeira plant, including new customer programs gained recently, such as the new line dedicated to the production of emissions control and exhaust systems for commercial vehicles. The unit was designed to expand the group’s nominal capacity in the country by up to 40%. Besides the 30,000 m² of land used to build the new complex, another 6,000 m² are also available for future expansions. Overall, the plant already operates with 500 employees, and should be adding another 300, which will be transferred from the other Limeira plant by the end of 2012.

New TechCenter allows for sophisticated testing

The TechCenter, the first in the country for emissions control technologies, was built in a 1,500 m² space, inside the Limeira industrial complex and has a full-set of modern prototypes department which turns computer models and drawings into physical parts for extensive testing and pre-production validation. To assure high efficiency levels, half of the R$6m invested in the TechCenter was allocated for acquiring modern machinery and technology, to test products in an environment similar to those faced by customers.

From the opening of this new center, Brazil’s operation not works only with CAD/CAE concepts for developing new products and other prediction routines, but is also specialized to manage all cycle steps, improving the quality of its services, processes and reducing cost and time to delivery, providing new standards in terms of customer service.

The TechCenter, during its initial phase, is expected to work in one shift, using 90% of its capacity. After a period of one year, it is expected to be working in three shifts.

The Center operates :

Instruments for measuring data from products being used in actual conditions, collecting data on temperature, pressure and mechanical efforts; Instruments for measuring noise and vibrations, in order to analyze exhaust systems and make them eligible for optimizations and certifications;Mono and bi-axial fatigue testing, to check pieces and exhaust parts resistance and lifetime, to guarantee quality and robust new projects;Electromechanical shaker for vibrations and durability analysis of catalytic converters, ensuring legal and technical specifications of customers; Thermal and heating testing on parts, to analyze dilatation and thermal fatigue of components, and look for alternative materials or processes;Motor dynamics testing, to evaluate exhaust systems lifetime and evolve these to more complex testing practices, involving emissions and noise reduction.

It is expected that, from the tests managed in Brazil, accomplishment times are to be reduced subtantially, compared to current tests being made at locations outside Faurecia. Elaborating more robust concepts of products will be another possibility, as well as obtaining more flexibility while selecting new technologies and reducing logistical costs. Faurecia expects to make the difference even further in the market, providing best-in-class methods and tools to make comprehensive tests and offer the highest quality levels and certifications.

Equipments chosen for the TechCenter are considered the “best-in-class” regarding durability, with high repetition and precision levels. All parameters of tests are controlled via specific software and hardware, either to realistically emulate evaluation cycles or environmental specifications and requirements for the customers, for instance, on automated tests and operational management.

The TechCenter opening is highly relevant to achieve the creation of less polluting passenger and commercial vehicles. The center is prepared to develop and certify lighter products, which generate substantial reductions in fuels consumption and CO2 emissions, in accordance with Brazilian emissions regulation, in line with Euro IV and soon with Euro V (P7 in Brazil).

Innovation Culture

Innovation is one of the main pillars of Faurecia. The Group operates 40 R&D centers around the world, employing over 5,000 engineers and working toward providing the automakers with the most innovative solutions for their vehicles. Over the past two years, the Group has widened its TechCenter network with operations in Stadthagen (Germany), Bavans, Brières-les-Scellés, Caligny and Mouzon (France), Shanghai (China), Troy (USA) and Pune (India).

In Brazil it possesses centers in Curitiba, Limeira and São Paulo. Among the € 760 million invested in R&D in 2011, € 100 million were destined to innovation initiatives.

Global integration

The new TechCenter in Limeira will be working in line with other Faurecia TechCenters around the world, to assure that best practices are in use and are disseminated along all company’s units. Thus, it is possible to guarantee the consistency of tests in any of those centers, as well as their results, anywhere around the world.

The guarantee of reproduction provided by constant integration will generate the necessary and required consistency by clients, anywhere they could be. Test conditions will be equivalent, and the same for results.

Professionals directly involved in TechCenter’s implementation were submitted to over 1,000 hours of training in Europe and US, which has been achieved in collaboration with the centers of Bavans (France), Augsburg (Germany) and Columbus (USA). During the training, operational details on the equipments technology have been studied, and process and operational management on tests has been also evaluated.

The TechCenter will eventually employ 25 people, most of them from existing talents from inside the company or from Limeira’s region. This way, Faurecia reinforces its expansion policy by valorizing its workforce, and also collaborating to local development.

The Brazilian Emissions Control operations of Faurecia have been effectively integrated into the Research and Development group and started working closely with Brazil-based passenger and commercial vehicle manufacturers offering full product development and emission technologies focused on servicing all market requirements, such as:

Emissions regulations and the fight against pollutants

Emissions regulations will be becoming ever more stringent in the next few years. With the advent of new local regulations, equivalent to Euro V and Euro VI standards, both focused on lower nitrogen emissions, the whole sector must be challenged to pursue new and more aggressive solutions to meet local requirements.

Energy savings and lightweight structure to cut CO2 emissions

Producing lighter exhaust systems with Faurecia’s support and expertise has been an efficient way of reducing carbon emissions. That has been possible from using lower gauges and thicknesses in metal sheets and other key components. In just five years, exhaust systems made by Faurecia are on average 5 kg lighter or 20% less than their initial weight, all thanks to engineering advances and product expertise.

Better acoustic performance, thanks to Faurecia’s specialized center

Good acoustics is essential to enhanced comfort in today’s vehicles, whether drivers and passengers are looking for comfort or performance while meeting all safety rules and emissions standards. This part is crucial, since the exhaust systems tend to generate from 20%-35% of the total noise level generated by a car.

Engineering & Program management

Carrying out vehicle innovation and application projects calls for an engineering organization and program that are highly reliable and effective. Faurecia is organized in a way that meets both these requirements.

EngineeringAs of today, Faurecia operates 40 R&D Centers around the world. Each business group’s Research and Development is spread across our three main geographic areas — Europe, the Americas and Asia. It is managed as a separate entity and possesses all the resources necessary to carry out the projects which it is assigned. Since it is structured as a network, it can run worldwide programs and commit as many of its resources as are needed through its worldwide workforce, or commit the right quality of resources needed through its roster of experts, particularly for vehicle innovation or application projects.

Project management Vehicle application programs follow a unique process, bringing together all the participants needed to develop and launch a new, mass-produced product. This process, known as PMS (Program Management System), describes all the deliverables to be produced at each phase of the program. Every program is given periodic interim reviews, first by specialists and then at the close of each phase by management, so that its progress can be seen. The PMS includes five phases: obtain and validate customer needs, develop the product, test the product and develop the manufacturing process, plan and validate productive machinery, and increase line speeds and launch mass production. To track performance throughout the development process and steer it towards excellence, Faurecia has introduced the idea of program management excellence.

This new approach involves the foregoing elements plus:

system audits of the program deliverables to ensure the consistency of applications;and performance indicators, reviewed monthly, to signal future risks.

These various tools have made it possible to significantly improve such programs’ performance in terms of quality, schedule and mass production launch. At the end of 2011, 538 programs run by 320 Program Managers were under development. Some are of global scale, from initial drawings to final manufacture.
