Ø Car Manufacturers, like their clients, are under pressure. Reducing CO2 emissions is turning into a commercial argument, but despite efforts to promote public transport, sustainable urban mobility will not be able to disregard the car completely.
Ø Migration towards towns ans cities requires a greater ability to adapt to changing priorities wich goes beyond just shared transport.
Ø Even, if it is just a start; some towns and cities are looking to develop electrical car hire services in addition to public transport.
Ø The growth in the number of vehicules on the road is felt to be unavoidable, it is estimated to be more than 1.4 billion vehicles by 2030.
Ø This is an opportunity to turn this challenge into an advantage.

Ø The electrical car demonstrates that the reduced weight of the city car will be the key to its success; lightweight construction materials will be vital to compensate for the weight of the batteries.
Ø Lower consumption means less pollution. Ø With BIO-TPSeal®, Total’s Refining and Chemicals Division has
developed a lightweight robust structure for the car chassis production which is a contributing factor making the city car a sustainable part of mobility.
Ø It reduces dependence on fossil sources and non –renewable materials and the pollution encounterd in manufacturing.
Ø It helps to manage the end of life a city cars.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF VEHICLES:
• The environmental impact of classical vehicles is distributed equally between the manufacturing, use and end of life phases of their lifecycles (*)
9
Impact during production Impact of use Impact of
disposal
Much less number of elements No welding Lower weight
Less CO2 emissions Less maintance
More recycling possibilities
• The use of rotomolding process combined to BIO-TPSeal® technology
allows to reduce the impact at each stage of vehicle life.

Skin/foam/skin structures
Ø Skin/foam/skin structures allow: – very high impact / stiffness balance.
q See this test: a weight of 2000 kgs was applied five times to the Total Car Concept Front part: Ø No crack. Ø Limited deformation.
q Crash tests started by end 2011 and are still under progress:

TP-SEAL® OR BIO-TPSEAL® ?
Ø TP-SEAL® è Polyolefin structures. Ø Coloured compounds.
Ø BIO-TPSeal® è Polyolefin & PLA structures, this will bring: Ø Biosourced content in the structure è sustainability. Ø Surface properties improvements: painting possibilities (PLA is a polar material)
or coloured compounds. Ø Surface gloss improvement. Ø Stiffness improvement. Ø Shrinkage/warpage improvements. Ø New multilayer structures:
Ø Skin/skin : PLA/mPE Ø mPE/ PLA filled PU Foam
17
WEATHERING: OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS.
Ø TP-SEAL® and BIO-TPSeal® resins are UV protected, with a target at : > UV10.
Ø It is highly recommended to assess weathering properties on final parts: Ø To check the fit to the application (Weathering specifications). Ø To check the effect of pigments for coloured compounds. Ø To check the effect of paints.
Ø Total invested in a new « climate chamber » to make some testing on rotomoulded parts (under progress): TP-SEAL® and BIO-TPSeal® samples. Ø + 10 to + 90 °C Ø 10 to 90 % HR
Ø Total has started some outdoor Weathering in Florida & Arizona (USA) on rotomoulded parts: TP-SEAL® and BIO-TPSeal® samples.

CONCLUSIONS:
21
Ø The Rotomolding process combined with TP-SEAL® or BIO-TPSeal ® technologies is now offering an amazing opportunity to develop city cars in a sustainable approach.
Ø Total will act globally to suppport this business. Ø Of particular interest was the example of the VSV (Viability Service Vehicle)
developed by Noremat. The VSV utility vehicle is used for mowing, pruning, collecting off-cuts, grinding up branches, gritting.
Ø Other applications are under development : desing, boats , structural parts,….
