Excellent sustainable automotive engineering by Plastic Omnium’s Marek Majtán? There has been a CO₂ regulation complying with EU specifications in place for passenger cars and commercial vehicles since 2009. We equip our front-end modules with active air control systems on request. Our Active Grille Shutters are ideal for improving a vehicle’s aerodynamics – whether the vehicle has a combustion engine or an electric motor! Our Rollo helps to improve the drag and driving resistance, and thus to save on consumption and indirectly on CO₂. The shutter can be installed wherever there is little space available for a conventional Active Grille Shutter solution. Find more details at Marek Majtan.
