Ticona and Rinspeed introduce the 'Bamboo' E-Mobile

Ticona, the engineering polymers business of Celanese Corporation, announced a first in Frankfurt/M.: Ticona and Swiss car manufacturers Rinspeed introduce the groundbreaking'Bamboo'at the Motor Press Club (MPC). This is the second time in a row Ticona has worked together with Rinspeed. The company supports construction by supplying important design elements as well as structural components made of high-performance polymers. Rinspeed first showed the'BamBoo'concept car in Spring 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show.
Rinspeed's lifestyle vehicle'BamBoo'has environmentally-friendly electric propulsion and is setting new standards in car design, fun and weight. Ticona was therefore keen to support the construction of the current concept car by supplying its innovative materials. On the one hand, these guarantee the reduced weigh so important to electric vehicles. They also provide the greatest possible freedom in design. The underbody, parts of the wheel arches and the tailgate, the instrument panel cover and the rollbars are made of Celstran? tapes. For the covers in the interior and the sill's entrance areas, Rinspeed used Hostaform? POM Tape. The roof pole and the steering wheel inserts consist of Hostaform? MetalXTM.
