The Society of Plastics Engineers Central Europe presented applicants, finalists and winners at its 16th biannual automotive innovation awards night in July 2015. The body exterior first place went to a part that does not feel or look like plastic: the hood outer skin of the Volkswagen Polo R WRC (World Rally Car) road version in Litecor from steel producer ThyssenKrupp, cutting overall hood weight by 30% to save 25% CO2 emissions. Litecor involves two layers of 0.2-0.3mm sheet steel with a 0.3-1.0mm "special thermoplastic blend" film core layer. The patent WO/-2012/126923 ("Composite material and structural component for a motor vehicle") published on 27 September 2012 refers to "at least one fibre-reinforced plastic layer" with its matrix "based on polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, and/or mixtures thereof".
