At Contechs, we actively support our clients’ sustainability ambitions by integrating best practices, technologies, and materials strategies across the full vehicle lifecycle. Whether we’re delivering fixed-price turnkey projects or embedded engineering support, our teams remain agile to evolving customer requirements and regulatory frameworks.
Sustainable Materials & Lightweight Engineering
We apply our expertise in sustainable materials and lightweight engineering wherever our clients need it, from interior surfaces to body structures and chassis systems.
Inside the vehicle, we support the integration of low-impact materials such as recycled and vegan leathers, bio-based polymers, and eco-friendly finishes, helping clients meet their sustainability targets without compromising on design or quality.
Within the body and chassis, our engineers focus on weight and material optimisation across body-in-white, closures, and structural systems. These solutions are carefully engineered to deliver sustainability gains without compromising on strength, durability, or safety – ensuring performance remains at the core of every platform.
Electrification & Alternative Propulsion
Contechs plays an instrumental role in the shift towards battery-electric and alternative fuel vehicles, working closely with OEMs on everything from architecture integration to powertrain testing and validation.
Our new EV test bench facility at our Warwick headquarters enables full-system validation under one roof – reducing development time, complexity, and emissions associated with physical testing cycles.
Smarter Development Through Digital Engineering
Contechs embraces advanced digital tools to support more sustainable product development. We use simulation and digital twin technologies to reduce reliance on physical prototypes, cutting down both material waste and energy usage across development programmes.
Our teams also support clients with design for manufacturing (DfM), helping to reduce complexity, optimise energy usage in production, and drive more sustainable outcomes at scale. By integrating these technologies early in the development process, we help OEMs and Tier 1s reduce their environmental impact without slowing innovation.
As the automotive sector continues to evolve, sustainability has become fundamental to vehicle development programmes. At Contechs, we’re proud to help our clients navigate this transition with the tools, talent, and agility needed to meet the future of mobility head-on.
