Plastic Omnium has announced the creation of OP'n Soft, a totally new activity 100% dedicated to the development of software for its own products and services.

For its first participation at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, Plastic Omnium will be showcasing a series of innovations in response to today and tomorrow’s mobility challenges, which require sustainable, safe and connected solutions, thus positioning itself at the forefront of the mobility revolution.

At this year's IAA (Internationale Automobilausstellung), held for the first time in Munich from September 6 to 12, Plastic Omnium is announcing a number of innovations and events that confirm its involvement in the clean, connected mobility of tomorrow.

Elektro-Fahrzeuge Stuttgart GmbH (EFA-S) selected Plastic Omnium for the delivery of fuel cell systems to equip the GAZelle with an e-powertrain. This emission-free truck will first be used by the city of Esslingen (Germany) for road maintenance. The ambition of EFA-S is to set up a fleet of more than 100 hydrogen-powered vehicles by 2023.

Hopium (FR0014000U63 / symbol: MLHPI), the French manufacturer of hydrogen powered sedans, unveils its very first rolling prototype during the Viva Technology week in Paris.

The order pipeline of EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies GmbH (EKPO), the joint venture between ElringKlinger (60%) and Plastic Omnium (40%), is continuing to fill up: Aachen-based mobility company AE Driven Solutions GmbH (AEDS) has awarded EKPO an exclusive, multi-year contract to supply fuel cell stacks of the type NM5-evo.

Plastic Omnium has announced a partnership with Hopium, the French manufacturer of high- end hydrogen cars, to develop the hydrogen storage system for the future Hopium Māchina.

EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies (EKPO), a joint venture between ElringKlinger AG and Plastic Omnium, has been selected by GCK as stack supplier for their high power fuel cell system.

One of the central aspects of this partnership is to collaborate on filling protocols and interfaces between hydrogen stations and high-pressure vessels, thereby helping broaden the Group’s expertise across the entire hydrogen value chain.

EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies, the joint venture of ElringKlinger (60%) and Plastic Omnium (40%), is now ready to start operations, having implemented all contractual arrangements and been granted the necessary antitrust approvals.
