Volkswagen Golf 7 front end carrier

The front end carrier in the new Golf 7 is completely made from plastic. This makes the part that owes its shape to elaborate calculations and simulations one of the world’s first front end carriers without metal reinforcement. Replacing the previous polypropylene hybrid part with an all-plastic part required use of not only Ultramid? B3WG8, a highly reinforced polyamide during development, but particularly Ultrasim?, the simulation tool from BASF. The sheet steel parts that had been attached previously are now eliminated. This reduces the weight of the front end module significantly compared to that of the predecessor model, saving assembly time and thus costs. Volkswagen produces the part in-house. www.basf.com
