CRF

Founded in 1978, has the mission to develop and transfer innovative products, processes and methodologies in order to improve the competitiveness of the products of the FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobile). Also through the cooperation with a panEuropean and increasingly global network of more than 1700 partners from Industry and academia, CRF develops research and innovation along the three principal axes of sustainability: Environmental Sustainability, which encompasses all aspects relating to energy efficiency as well as to the reduction of the impact on the environment over the entire lifecycle of the vehicle; Social Sustainability, focusing on the safety of transportation systems through the development of active, passive, preventive and cooperative solutions while addressing the mobility of all users irrespective of their specific needs; Economically sustainable competitiveness, oriented towards viable innovation, i.e., improving the performance and functionality of new vehicles in a costeffective manner.

 

This project will be carried out by a CRF Business Unit named GML (Group Materials Labs) where competencies and equipment to study and develop new materials and processes are available.
