Volkswagen has appointed the POLYTEC GROUP to develop the new Common
Rail cylinder head covers on account of its highly flexible approach
and comprehensive technical concepts. The planned order value
amounts to EUR 19.5 million per year from the commencement of
production.

It was Polytec Group’s wide range of experience with cylinder head
covers, in particular in the integration of high performance oil mist
separators as well as the ability to manufacture these cylinder head
covers economically which were the crucial points in Volkswagen’s
decision to appoint the Polytec Group.

POLYTEC GROUP was awarded a development and production contract for
the following:

Cylinder head cover 2.0 Common Rail
- Quantity : 690,000 p. a.
- SOP : August 2007
Cylinder head cover 1.6 L Common Rail
- Quantity : 500,000 p. a.
- SOP : August 2008

Fan belt cover / Lower section 2.0 / 1.6 TDI Common Rail
- Quantity : 1.6 mill p. a.
- SOP : August 2007

The individual parts are manufactured by injection moulding and are
assembled in production islands with integrated assembly lines and
welding plant. They leave production as modules ready for fitting
once they have been successfully subjected to a 100% seal and
function test. The cylinder head covers are manufactured in the
Lohne (Germany).

The strengths of the AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS DIVISION are quite clearly in
development skills and development capacity. This is also confirmed
by the registered patents and the award received recently for the
cylinder head covers for the VW Transporter and Sharan. These
cylinder head covers were awarded the SPE Award 2006.
