Advanced materials research and engineering
Since our beginnings, at CTAG we have been working on the development of new materials with high added value and their transformation processes for their application in the automotive sector.
Advanced materials research and engineering plays an important role in the development of new vehicle concepts, where new materials are sought for improved performance, weight reduction, cost efficiency, safety, comfort and sustainability.
Strategic lines
CTAG's Innovative Materials team carries out research on new materials in the following strategic lines:
At CTAG we work from our Innovative Materials area to achieve this desired physical-mental state inside the vehicle cabin.
We carry out the entire process, from the generation of the idea to the construction of mock-ups.
This environmental impact is a global problem that needs to be addressed by taking into account different aspects, such as reducing the consumption of resources, reducing the weight of the car, using renewable materials or promoting the reuse and recycling of every part of the vehicle at the end of its life.
Circular Economy
The circular economy represents a paradigm shift towards sustainability, by trying to reduce, reuse or eliminate waste. CTAG contributes to this goal in different ways:
Recycled and reprocessing
Our prototyping laboratory allows us to carry out complete studies of the recyclability of different polymers.
Waste reduction
We investigate how to reduce defective components and waste through quality analysis.
Performance evaluation
We help in decision making thanks to our experience and capacity for carrying out tests.
Reuse and remanufacturing
We look for ways to give a second life to components that are usually discarded at the end of a vehicle's life.
