Today automotive glass does not perform just its original function to be a safety element in front of the car-bodywork. It is optimal to use up its further features such as e.g. heating, sunshine reflection, thanks to a special acoustic foil to decrease a portion of noise in the cab, to place antennas and various communicative sensors in to the glass (eg. sensor for transit and toll registration on the motorways).

Thanks to our new third production line we became a competence center for development of complex windshields, backlites and canopies in Europe. In the field of development we closely coperate with our iternational base in France and Germany.

Actual trends and real steps - Reduction of CO₂ emissions
Saint-Gobain Sekurit takes this environmental aspect as its objective and offers products supporting a reduction of vehicles' CO₂ emissions. We follow two below mentioned actions:

• heat reduction inside the vehicle - this reduction conduces to less usage of air-conditioning and that means lower fuel consumption
  • dark tinted glasses (various tints)
  • glasses reflecting solar heating
• vehicle weight reduction - conduces to lower fuel consumption
  • leight-weight "thin" glasses without loss of acoustic comfort
