Together with our partners in the automotive industry we are at the heart of this transformation. We support engineers designing high performance and low environmental impact vehicles. Whether that's a fully electrical vehicle with a hydrogen fuel cell or a lithium-ion battery (LiBs), whether it runs on biofuel or hybrid technology, DSM's solutions cover all the bases.

A key area of innovation involves electric vehicles powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, which refuels in the same time it takes with a conventional car, goes further on a single tankful than the maximum range of current lithium-ion technology, and emits H2O instead of CO2.

The challenge of safely harnessing a highly explosive pressurized gas in a car is one DSM is helping leading car manufacturers solve. We're applying our expertise in high-performance barrier and uni-directional tape materials to develop safe, effective and very lightweight hydrogen tanks from our engineering plastics1.
