Leoni reduces the CO2 footprint of its products by 50 percent

"From the development of the individual vehicle cable to the choice of recyclable materials to the finished wiring system: as Leoni, we think sustainability holistically," says Walter Glück, CTO of Leoni's wiring systems division WSD. The result is innovative products and processes that, as the green nervous system of the automobile, make a key contribution to the sustainable mobility of tomorrow. Glück: "We call this approach 'Driven by Sustainovation'."

One of Leoni's particular strengths is its deep overall understanding of the market and technology, across several stages of the value chain. "We master and understand both wiring systems and individual vehicle cables. For passenger cars as well as for trucks or special vehicles," says Markus Thoma, CEO of Leoni's automotive cable division ACS. "This gives us a lot of leverage to contribute to green mobility with our products and services. And believe me: we make full use of this!"

Focus on the entire product life cycle
Taking sustainability seriously means considering the entire life cycle of a product. At Leoni, the developers are "driven by sustainovation" from the very first draft of a new product. Starting with the selection of materials in order to keep resource consumption low from the outset. Leoni innovations such as the LIMVERSE product line, which increasingly use bio-based materials, speak this language. Leoni engineers are also constantly improving the design and manufacturing process of wiring systems, reducing the use of materials and thus weight and energy consumption, and increasing the proportion of recycled materials.

"For Leoni, sustainability is not just a moral obligation. It is one of the key drivers of innovation and progress," emphasizes Markus Thoma, CEO Leoni ACS. At its Press TechDay on 10 July 2024 in Roth near Nuremberg, the company has just proven once again that Leoni's words are followed by deeds.

Walter Glück, CTO Leoni WSD: "We don't wait, we act. The technological challenge of contributing to a better world with new ideas and innovations is exciting. Our aim is to make an active contribution to the green mobility of tomorrow." In this way, Leoni enables its customers to choose precisely the products that meet their expectations in terms of performance, quality, price and sustainability.
