Products for lower fuel consumption and increased comfort

With more than 3,500 employees, the Röchling Automotive Group is a global partner to automotive manufacturers and system suppliers. Its 19 manufacturing plants, spread across four continents, ensure customer proximity. The Group’s four R&D locations produce long-term benefits for end customers. Extensive support services for automotive manufacturers are predominantly provided at local sales and customer service offices.

Röchling Automotive’s core competencies include aerodynamics and acoustics in each segment of the vehicle. Air management consists of the optimization of airflows within the vehicle – whether in cooling air ducts, intake pipes, and intake manifolds in the engine compartment, air channels within the passenger compartment, or at the underbody. It is all about airflow, aerodynamic drag, and air turbulence. Ultimately, an efficient flow distribution means less energy input and, consequently, less fuel consumption.

Another strength of Röchling Automotive that positively affects emissions is the increase of acoustic comfort while taking into account the laws of lightweight construction. Normally, an optimization of acoustics is accompanied by a weight increase of the vehicle, which is not exactly light to begin with. By combining acoustic functions with other component functions, Röchling Automotive succeeds in stopping or even reversing the weight spiral.

Other important topics for Röchling Automotive include fluid components and interior applications. Cost efficiency and, of course, lightweight construction are key aspects here in addition to the high level of function integration. The various special disciplines are systematically interlinked within the Group by following precisely regulated processes so that competencies are pooled. This approach allows Röchling Automotive to develop system solutions as well as fascinating components. Equal importance is placed on innovations and great service.
