As car manufacturers and system suppliers are transitioning away from traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, creating innovative material design solutions for new energy vehicles (NEV) has become an urgent reality.
As an alternative to EPDM rubber, PA and PPS, Santoprene® thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) is being used to manufacture electric vehicle (EV) coolant system hoses and tubes as it offers:
- Increased durability,
- And lower weight and system costs.
