以前から燃料タンクメーカーは、特に米国の法規制により、より高い衝撃にも漏れることなく耐えられるタンクを設計・製造するよう圧力を強めてきました。燃料タンクの技術革新を推進する主な要因は、法規制、重量、パッケージング、安全性、コストです。燃料タンクの航続距離と燃費に対する継続的な需要に加え、特に小型車セグメントにおける全輪/後輪駆動の増加により、より複雑な形状や幾何学的形状が見られるようになっています。このため、これらのプログラムの設計選択と要件に影響を与える独自のパッケージング環境が生み出されています。
当レポートでは、世界の自動車用燃料タンク市場について調査し、市場の概要とともに、参入企業の動向、法規制と立法の枠組み、技術動向、今後の予測などを提供しています。For some time, fuel tank manufacturers have come under increasing pressure from legislation, particularly in the US, to design and build tanks that can withstand higher and higher impacts without leaking. The main factors driving fuel tank innovation are legislation, weight, packaging, safety and cost. In addition to continued demand for fuel tank range and fuel economy, we are seeing more complex shapes and geometries, particularly driven by the all/rear-wheel drive increase in smaller car segments. This creates a unique packaging environment that influences the design selection and requirement for those programmes.
In the 1970s, all fuel tanks were made of steel. Today, we estimate that about 90% of newly registered vehicles in Western Europe are equipped with plastic tanks while 85% of cars built for North American roads have plastic tanks, a material chosen for its proven resistance to corrosion, light weight and ease of moulding into unusual shapes. They are increasingly being manufactured with their major components sealed inside the tank.
While the angular shape of modern plastic fuel tanks may appear a little strange, their blow-moulded design allows maximum fuel holding capacity in a minimum amount of space. Plastic tanks are also considered more crashworthy because of their seamless design and ability to deform. And depending on the volumes produced, plastic fuel tanks can beat steel in terms of cost.
Given the popularity of plastic tanks, can steel tanks really make a comeback? Sure, there are always opportunities available for steel tanks for low-volume production. Although multi-layered plastic seems to have become the material of choice, there are some concerns that it might not be able to meet the forthcoming emissions regulations or that it meets the spirit of the ELV Directive. Some vehicle makers are said to be re-evaluating plastic tanks in favour of steel, and for some higher value models, even systems made of stainless steel.
