Combines Innovative Offerings to Advance Vehicle Electrification, Autonomy and Connectivity

WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 27, 2018 – The market for electric/hybrid-electric vehicles is currently experiencing strong and sustained growth. To bring innovative and holistic solutions to this market, including autonomous driving, connectivity and related infrastructure, DowDuPont Specialty Products Division is launching AHEAD™ – a new initiative designed to bring customers solutions and material capabilities from across the new DuPont.  

“The creation of a dedicated team and offering targeting vehicle electrification, autonomy and connectivity makes sense for DuPont. It reinforces our history in transportation (100+ years), our experience, expertise and broad differentiated portfolio of technology and solutions,” said Randy Stone, business president, DuPont Transportation & Advanced Polymers. “Our AHEAD™ approach builds on recent successes, and by pairing our leading material position with our unmatched capabilities in electronics, we can extend our market leadership in the vehicle electrification and supporting infrastructure space.”

Utilizing adhesives, high-performance elastomers, engineered thermoplastics, fluids/specialty lubricants, electronic materials, high-performance fibers and safety materials, AHEAD™ will provide innovative solutions for:

Lightweighting
Battery pack components and assembly
Thermal management/safety
Electric motors
Powertrain/chassis
Electrical/electronic applications for improved automation including driver assists and self-driving capabilities
