Mobility
Interior surfaces, acoustic linings and lightweight composites for electric mobility and rail.
Electric mobility, rail and micro-mobility programmes ask for materials that lower weight, reduce cabin noise and clear an environmental profile they can put on the specification sheet. Cork answers all three — as an interior surface, an acoustic lining or a composite core — without the petrochemical footprint of the alternatives.
The mobility brief has changed. Weight and NVH now sit alongside embodied carbon and cabin-air quality on the specification sheet. Cork enters that conversation naturally — as a lightweight, sound-absorbing, warm-to-touch surface that reads as premium and documents cleanly against EU cabin-air limits.
We work with EV, rail and micro-mobility programmes at the material engineering stage, calibrating density, thickness and finish to hit the acoustic, weight and visual targets in the same panel.
Applications
Where cork enters the line.
Cabin interior surfaces
Thin cork sheets and laminates on dashboards, door cards and floors — warm to touch, hypoallergenic, low VOC.
Acoustic and antivibration linings
Cork-rubber sheets damping cabin noise and structural vibration in EVs, buses and rail carriages.
Lightweight composite cores
Low-density cork agglomerates as sandwich cores in non-structural mobility panels.
