This prize is awarded by the Society of Plastics Engineers, INC.
Europe (SPE), which uses it to honour companies which have provided
outstanding services in the field of plastics applications for the
automobile and supply. This focuses on products from categories such
as Body Interior, Body Exterior, Power Train and Electronic Parts.

2nd place won by ASD with the VW 2.0 l TDI engine cover. The improved
oil removal performance is what sets this component apart. Both the
response curve and the simple design of the associated oil separator
are major developments in this field.

Engine Cover VW 2.0 l TDI
SOP: 3Q / 2005
Parts per Year: 75.000

The Volvo I5D P2 cylinder head cover won 3rd place in the Power Train
category. This cylinder head cover has a fully integral intake
manifold and associated switching flap module. Replacing the previous
aluminium cover allows the plastic to combine the functions of cover
and intake manifold in optimum fashion. The plastic construction also
makes it possible to satisfy the cover’s oil leak tightness
requirements and the burst strength of the intake manifold and the
associated switching flap module rounds off the assembly as a whole.

SOP: 2Q / 2005
Parts per Year: 74.000

One of the aims of the POLYTEC GROUP is to become an indispensable
partner in the development and production of innovative vehicle
components, modules and systems. This award underlines and confirms
our expertise yet again and also spurs us on to achieve similar
successes with future projects.
