7 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 Ø This is an opportunity to turn this challenge into an advantage. 7

8 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. 8

9 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 (*) The use of rotomolding process combined to BIO-TPSeal technology allows to reduce the impact at each stage of vehicle life. Impact during production Impact of use Impact of disposal Much less number of elements No welding Lower weight Less CO 2 emissions Less maintance More recycling possibilities (*) : JL Thuliez, Domteknika, Persico Nembro June 20th,

11 11 TOTAL CONCEPT CAR: FRONT PART TOOLING (PRODUCED BY PERSICO) FOR CONVENTIONAL ROTOMOULDING MACHINES.

12 POLYOLEFIN PRODUCTS: INNOVATION. Technological Evolution REVOLUTION breakthrough innovation EVOLUTION incremental innovation LDPE Linear PE/PP Cr, Z-N Gas phase Metallocene Bimodal Materials Science Nano - Bio - Organic - Smart Futerro s PLA Rotomolding resins: -M3581UV -M4041UV -M

13 TP-SEAL AND BIOTPSEAL ROTOMOULDING TECHNOLOGIES: BASED ON TOTAL METALLOCENE POLYOLEFINS (LUMICENE PRODUCT RANGE). TP-SEAL BioTPSeal skin/skin è mpe / PA11 Skin/foam/skin è mpe / mpe / mpe Low fuel permeation Fuel tanks (CARB/EPA USA) Boats Structural parts Buoys mpe-pla alloys Monolayers Multilayers Skin/foam/skin, Skin/skin Structural parts. Low warpage parts. Very high stiffness parts Surface properties Paintable parts Design parts (courtesy Elkamet Germany) (courtesy Sealver (France)

14 TP-SEAL OR BIO-TPSEAL FOR SKIN/FOAM/SKIN STRUCTURES. Conventional polyolefin structure TP-SEAL or Bio-TPSeal 5 meters/ 330 kgs part (courtesy Dynamic rotomolding -France) 14

15 For this car body the overall plastic weight is only 85 kg and only two parts (w/o any welding) ready to be assembly just after rotomolding! TPSeal BIO-TPSeal Skin/foam/skin structures 15

16 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: 16

17 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

18 BIO-TPSEAL POSSIBILITIES: Painted front parts (skin/skin): PLA /mpe BIO-TPSeal 18

19 19 BIO-TPSEAL POSSIBILITIES:

20 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. 20

21 CONCLUSIONS: 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,. 21
