What Has Nylon Got To Do With It?
Jun 30, 2009 – What does nylon have to do with saving energy & fuel? Alex Tullo reports in “The Ole Standby” in C&E News that nylon that has been around since invented at DuPont in the 1930s can be used more in automobiles and thus reduce the weight of the vehicles. For example, Mercedes-Benz has developed a nylon and cast aluminum oil pan module that saves 2.5 pounds versus a wholly aluminum part. Also, BASF helped develop a nylon oil sump for the Mercedes Actros truck series. The less weight in the car, the greater the fuel efficiency.
