Development of alternative solutions
to the use of materials (essentially
steel) in vehicular applications, with
a focus on reducing weight and
increasing efficiency.
To replace the use of essential materials in our
production with items that have new, lighter, and more
efficient properties, we have invested in the discovery
of smart materials.
In this sense, since 2021, Frasle Mobility has marketed
a line of products in composite materials which
enable the development of lighter and more efficient
products. One example is the use of this technology
in fender supports, which has generated a reduction
of up to 65% in their weight. This line was called
Fras-le Smart Composites until the end of 2022. As
of 2023, the brand went through an evolution and
became COMPOSS.
The result is a better performing and more sustainable
product, since lighter vehicles burn less fuel and,
consequently, emit fewer pollutants.

The technology integrates several new product
launches and new product settings, such as the taillight
support and the fender support for heavy vehicles,
trucks, buses, and light SUVs.

NIONE
NIONE is a business unit focused on the development
of nanotechnology, at the frontier of what is
most cutting-edge in the intersection between
sustainability and innovation.
Its very existence is the result of our investments
in cutting-edge science, since the technology
exploited arose from studies conducted by Randon
Technological Center (CTR) and by Hercílio Randon
Institute (IHR), which have discovered how to
produce niobium nanoparticles on a large scale.
With a globally required patent, the innovation
has multiple applications, which can enhance the
physical-chemical properties of materials used in
industry, bringing out their best versions, more
efficient and with unique features.
With a team of highly trained researchers and
engineers and a modern manufacturing unit, NIONE
develops, produces and markets solutions for
various industrial segments, not limited only to the
automotive industry.
