"The DuPont site was revamped to give our customers instant and direct access to the broadest offering of materials technologies from a single supplier," said Walter L. Fields III, vice president electronic customer channels DuPont Automotive. "To add even more value, we included innovative ideas for advanced vehicle systems to stimulate opportunities for collaborative development programs."

Key features of the site include real world application and product profiles offering a diverse selection of technical solutions to reduce cost and weight involving a portfolio of more than 100 DuPont product lines and a variety of technical services. Practical insight is available through hundreds of case studies with links to specific product end uses and selection criteria.

Another added benefit of the site is the new "Science of Automotive" section. Analysis of emerging issues and current trends shows how DuPont technology can benefit many markets, including, but not limited to, the automotive industry. Featured essays and technical information include the new DuPont Advanced Automotive Electrical and Electronics initiative as well as the DuPont Automotive Safety Systems initiative, bringing together DuPont science capabilities across the entire company. New automotive electronic and safety systems usage is projected to increase at double-digit annual rates over the next several years.

The Web site's new style and easy to use format was shaped by extensive interviews and testing with automotive engineers and product designers.

DuPont automotive worldwide sales exceed $6 billion a year in coatings, elastomers, electronic displays and microcircuit materials, engineering plastics, fibers, films and glass laminating products, fluoroproducts, precision fabricated parts, specialty chemicals and auto air conditioning refrigerants.
