    In cooperation with the Guangzhou Automobile Group Co.
    , Ltd.
    R&D Center (GAC R&D Center), Covestro has developed a lightweight composite seat back for the Chinese automaker's latest electric concept car ENO.
    146


    .


    Both front seat backs of the concept car are made of Maeszio CFRTP, a reinforced thermoplastic composite from Covestro


    .


    "The seats in the passenger compartment are ideal targets for weight reduction, as they are one of the heaviest components there," said Lisa Ketelsen, head of the thermoplastic composites business at Covestro


    .


    For seats with metal backrests, fittings and other accessories add complexity to production and assembly


    .


    The automotive interior design in ENO.
    146 is inspired by nature from a CMF (color, material, finish) point of view


    .


    "The backrest had to be integrated into the design concept as a visible component, so the material had to have a natural look and feel and high aesthetic value, and it had to be recyclable," said Stephen Chen


    .


    This is where Maezio comes in
