InCar
ThyssenKrupp's InCar project sets the standard for the car of the near future. It contains 35 new solutions for the body, powertrain and chassis that improve functionality, reduce weight and costs, and help the climate. The "cleanest" innovations can combine to cut greenhouse gas emissions by around 5,500 kilograms per car. The InCar lifecycle assessment includes not only the emissions from 250,000 kilometers of driving but also the greenhouse gases released during production of the parts, starting with extraction of the raw materials.
The ThyssenKrupp Group has combined all its automotive expertise in the InCar research project, which offers innovations for the body, powertrain and chassis. The innovations have been extensively validated, so OEMs can integrate them swiftly into production.
