Insulation and protection for modern mobility
Meeting the evolving demands of transportation technologies
The transportation industry is undergoing rapid transformation as vehicles become more electrified, connected, lightweight, and efficient. From passenger cars and commercial vehicles to two‑wheelers, ships, trains, and aircraft: electrical and electronic systems play a central role in safety, performance, comfort, and energy efficiency. As these systems operate under increasing electrical, thermal, mechanical, and environmental stress, high‑quality insulation and protection materials become essential to ensure durability, reliability, and long service life.
Key application areas and brand portfolios include:
ELANTAS materials protect the electrical and electronic components that drive and support modern mobility. They are for example found in ignition coils, relays, switches, lightning systems, printed circuit boards, power electronics, motors, and batteries, as well as in a wide range of auxiliary devices and control units throughout all major vehicle platforms.
Whether enabling the e‑drive in an electric vehicle, stabilizing electronics in a rail system, or safeguarding components exposed to harsh marine environments, ELANTAS solutions help ensure safe, reliable, and long‑lasting operation.
In addition to road, rail, and marine applications, ELANTAS solutions also support components used in aircraft environments, where reliability, fire protection, lightweight design, and consistent performance under fluctuating temperature and pressure conditions are essential.
