D & R Technology Inc, wholly owned subsidiary of Novus Robotics Inc. (NRBT), announces successful installation of the assembly equipment for aluminum components incorporated into Crash Management Systems (CMS) of the new BMW X4.
The term "Crash Management System" is used to describe the structural module consisting of the bumper and the related attachments which connect to the vehicle and protection technology designed for the front and the rear of a vehicle in the event of a collision.
D & R developed innovative technologies and products combined with advanced design and manufacturing capabilities of our customers will in all probability result in higher performance and cost efficiency, thus opening new possibilities to expand the use of full-aluminum CMS in the mass-market car segments. Close collaboration with world-class automotive suppliers will further solidify D & R's unique position in the growing market for aluminum in the automotive industry.
Automotive sector analysts expect the use of aluminum CMS to increase in the next five years, particularly in European premium cars. By 2018, aluminum CMS are projected to capture about 30 percent of total European automotive market share. In the United States, aluminum CMS are expected to account for nearly 20 percent market share by 2018. Combined aluminum CMS production for China, Europe and North America is expected to reach more than 28 million units by 2018.
