Driving Towards the Reduced Size and Weight of Your Wiring Harnesses: The automobile has evolved from a mechanism of transportation into an experience that delivers comfort, safety and security - thanks to recent innovations in ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance Systems) and IVI (in-vehicle infotainment).

Today’s automobile includes over one mile of wire that can weigh in excess of 150 Ibs. (68 kg). With the advent of V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) and V2X ( vehicle-to-everything) connections, this number could increase significantly in order to support the increased electric componentry functionality needed to empower autonomous capabilities and safety features of the future.

FLEX NORYL™ resin can offer several benefits vs. traditionally used, commodity grade polymers (polypropylene, PVC, and polyethylene) to enhance wiring systems within the automobile
