At the 23rd SPE Award Night on October 6th, 2025 in Bonn (Germany), the coveted SPE Automotive Awards for the most innovative polymer applications in the automotive industry, were presented once again.
First Place – Category "Power Train" – Position Sensor
The new sensor housing made from Grivory HT1 for electric motors integrates rotor position detection and an effective oil seal in a single component. This reduces installation space and system complexity while fulfilling ASIL D (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) requirements for safety-critical components.
Second Place – Category "Electronical / Optical Part" – ABS Solenoid Valve
The new ABS solenoid valve made from Grivory HT1 replaces the aluminum version and offers maxi-mum safety at significantly lower costs and CO₂ emissions. The component weight has been reduced by 33%, and the CO₂ footprint lowered by 60%.
Second Place – Category "New Mobility" – Quick Connector in Thermal Management
The new quick coupling system enables a reliable, leak-free connection of the cooling circuit between the battery and the vehicle and is designed for automated battery replacement. The optimized flow channel reduces pressure loss in the system, and the modular design allows flexible integration into 2 different vehicle architectures.
Second Place – Category "Chassis Unit / Structural Component" – Crash Protection
The new safety-relevant crash protection made from Grivory GVL for the electrohydraulic OneBox brake system reliably protects the electrical connector in the crash area, ensuring the vehicle’s driving dynamics and safety functions even in the event of an accident.
