Extrusion press processing (express processing) was developed for the production of flax fiber-reinforced PP at the research center of Daimler Benz (Ulm, Germany) [62]. In this processing, natural fiber nonwovens and thermoplastic melt-films are alternatively deposited in a tempered molding tool and molded afterwards. The thermoplastic melt-films are laid on by a mobile extruder. If thi.s process is optimally adapted to the element, a single passage by the extruder suffices. The structural order consists of three layers two layers of...

Over the years, GM and Ford have progressively raised their levels of demand for oxidative/thermal stability, to cater for cars with higher power and thus greater likelihood of high transmission temperatures. GM s latest designation is Dexron IID, and the latest Ford specification is M2C 33-G, commonly referred to as the Ford G fluid. The Daimler-Benz requirement is that a fluid should retain its frictional characteristics throughout its life (in other words, throughout the life of the car). Additive systems have been developed with properties acceptable to Daimler-Benz, however, and a universal ATF can now be blended. 

There is Europe s plastic skin, 2-seat coupe, called the Smart car with molded-in color that virtually eliminates painting. The idea was to eliminate the need for three coats of paint and reducing both cost and emission problems, Project started in 1994 via a joint venture of Daimler-Benz in Stuttgart, Germany, then known as Mercedes-Benz, and the Swiss watchmaker SMH AG in Biel. They created a...

The recycling of contaminated polyurethane waste is described with reference to a glycolysis process developed by Bayer and Daimler-Benz in which the wastes from three-layer composite instrument panels are treated. The reuse of contaminated PU is achieved by dispersely integrating the impurities in the secondary polyol during the glycolytic dissociation. The impurities are modified in such a way that they act as a filler in the secondary polyol. 3 refs.

DaimlerChrysler was slow on producing hybrids, since it felt that Americans would not get too excited about fuel savings. The Toyota Prius and other hybrids have proved this wrong and manufacturers have not been able to keep up with the demand. Until the merger with Daimler-Benz, Chrysler was working on both fuel cell and hybrid technology. 

Daimler-Benz built the NECAR (New Car) I, a commercial van that was its first fuel cell vehicle, in 1994. NECAR I was a prototype and most of the cargo area was used for the fuel cell equipment. The roof held a large hydrogen tank. 

In 1997, Ford announced that it would invest 420 million in a global alliance with what was then Daimler-Benz and Ballard Power Systems. This provided Ballard with an important infusion of capital. As a result of these investments, Ford owned 15% of Ballard and DaimlerChrysler 20%. It was a critical moment for fuel cells since the total investment was reaching almost 1 billion, including the 450 million by DaimlerChrysler. The alliance of Ford, Volvo, and DaimlerChrysler was pushing the leading edge of fuel cell innovation. Ballard has focused on PEM cells with a goal to have commercial fuel cells available by 2010. 

In Germany, Daimler-Benz s fuel cell prototypes included the NE-CAR III. This was a Mercedes-Benz A-Class car with Ballard s methanol-reformed fuel cell system. 

Daimler-Benz has accumulated data on NECAR III emissions with a dynamometer programmed for a mix of urban and suburban driving. The results were promising since there were zero emissions for nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide, and extremely low hydrocarbon emissions of only. 0005 per gram per mile. NECAR III did produce significant quantities of carbon dioxide similar to the emissions of a direct-injection diesel engine where the fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber. Direct-injection produces less combustion residue and unburned fuel. 

Nike, Lego, Mattel, and Sony are some of the companies that have already phased-out PVC plastic. Ford, Peugeot, Daimler Benz, Opel, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota are all adopting PVC restrictions. These initiatives are driven by the EU Directive on End-of-Life Vehicles which requires automakers to meet reuse/recovery target of 85% of scrap vehicles by weight byJanuary 2006.
