NORMA Group will deliver to the customer’s sites in Europe and the US
NORMA Group has secured a major contract for fuel vapor purge lines and other fluid lines from a leading automotive manufacturer. Starting in 2029, NORMA Group will deliver plastic line systems directly to the OEM’s plants in the US and in Europe. The total volume of the seven-year-contract is up to EUR 30 million. The fluid lines will be installed in a central engine platform of full-size and premium cars with internal combustion engines and hybrid drives.
CEO Birgit Seeger: “As a technology leader in efficient fluid-handling systems, we support our automotive customers in sustainably reducing harmful emissions. This contract undermines our position as a long-term partner for leading OEMs and our ambition to grow our business with fluid lines.”
The fluid lines, up to five meter long, consist of durable thermoplastic tubes and SR Safe Lock and SR Single Lock quick connectors designed according to SAE standards (Society of Automotive Engineers).
The lines are part of the emission control system of the vehicles: Gasoline may release harmful volatile organic compounds through evaporation, especially during the refueling process or when temperature and pressure change in the tank. These vapors are being collected and stored in a carbon canister inside the vehicle. NORMA Group’s purge lines route the vapors from the canister to the engine. The purge process prevents the vapors from escaping into the environment by feeding them into the regular combustion process.
NORMA Group will manufacture the lines in Mexico, and Serbia. With a global manufacturing footprint, NORMA Group offers international customers close collaboration with engineers, localized supply and efficient delivery times in close geographical reach.
