According to industry studies of European Urban Mobility Vehicles (UMV– bicycle, scooters) most of the 20 millions of bicycles and scooters which are bought every year and used daily by Europeans are produced outside EU. The untapped potential deriving from massive use of advanced materials and processing technologies which could result in significant added value (revenues/profit), creation of thousands of jobs Europe-wide and raise the competitiveness of UMV, remains a lost opportunity. Until now. We, CAP Ltd, are about to change that completely by introducing a revolutionary rapid, advanced material production technology (PolyComp) to SMEs in UMV industry, which are currently, due to various reasons described below, unable to compete against Asian manufacturers. By successful introduction of PolyComp we will re-design current industry manufacturing and sales process while CAP will become a global leader in UMV segment. We already achieved key milestones to accomplish it, by developing first technology prototype (currently at TRL 6), patent protected key technologies and building the right team to start the commercialization of PolyComp on the global market. We are introducing advanced materials into UMV manufacturing – composite material (TPC), also referred as “material of the future for mass production”. Secondly, by utilizing in-house developed revolutionary heat manipulation system which enables PolyComp to process structural parts at unseen speed (5-8 times faster comparing to existing technologies, 50% production price savings). At the same time it is and eliminating environment impacts (ZERO VOC emission). Thirdly by introducing unique hybrid nature of the technology (able to process existing and advanced TPC materials). Such approach is significantly decreasing investment costs and as being scalable (semi or fully automated) is a game changer in the industry and attractive option for SMEs in even wider composite processing sector.

Glede na rezultate evropskih študij urbanih mobilnosti (UMV – kolesa in skiroji) je velika večina 20 milijonov koles in skirojev kupljenih in dnevno v uporabi vsako letu v EU, izdelana izven meja EU. Ta trg je bil do sedaj nedotaknjen s strani evropskih podjetij – do sedaj. Potencial s strani PolyComp temelji na serijski uporabi modernih materialov in tehnologij predelave, ki bodo skupaj omogočili občutno zvišanje dodane vrednosti (in dobička), generiranje novih delovnih mest po Evropi in dvignili splošno konkurenčnost evropskega UMV sektorja. Z uspešno vpeljavo tehnologije PolyComp bomo (CAP) tako revolucionarno spremenili celoten sektor UMV, evopskim SME pa ponudili konkurenčno prednost pred azijskimi konkurenti; z uspešno implementacijo tako tehnologije kot spremembo celotnega sektora bomo postali globalno vodilno podjetje na področju urbane mobilnosti, še več, PolyComp tehnologijo smo že razvili do stopnje TRL 6, patentirali ključne elemente tehnologije in sestavili pravo ekipo za realizacijo postavljenih globalnih ciljev. PolyComp temelji na inovativnem preoblikovanju termoplastičnih kompozitov (poznani kot materiali prihodnosti za serijsko proizvodnjo), ki kot taksni še niso prisotni v sektorju UMV. Tehnologija PolyComp pa temelji na edinstveni zmožnosti rapidne manipulacije toplote v proizvodnem ciklu, ki omogoča izdelavo strukturnih produktov v trenutno nepredstavljivih hitrostih izdelave (5-8 kratno skrajšanje ciklov v primerjavi s trenutnimi tehnologijami in posledično 50% znižanjem cene proizvodnje). Hkrati PolyComp v popolnosti izničuje vsakršne emisije v ozračje, koncept tehnologije pa omogoča predelavo tako duroplastičnih kot termoplastičnih kompozitov. Opisan pristop tako občutno zmanjšuje potrebne investicijske stroške in tako predstavlja pomemben mejnik tako v sektorju UMV kot v sektorju predelave kompozitnih materialov.
