Plastic Omnium’s mission was to bring the designs’ intent to life, creating and delivering the Air’s front and rear panels, including fascias, rocker panels and decklid.
To address the challenges of the design required by Lucid, Plastic Omnium created and produced its largest ever composite decklid.
External panels are produced at Plastic Omnium’s plants in Silao and Ramos, Mexico, for delivery to the Lucid factory in Casa Grande, Arizona.
“The length of our working relationship has enabled the emergence of disruptive innovations, such as the largest decklid on the market,” said Plastic Omnium Intelligent Exterior Systems president & CEO, Stéphane Noël.
