Even if the market has shown a clearly decreased pace recently, the only way forward is believed to be electrification. The passenger car sector is some years ahead of the heavy vehicle sector and have gained some more experience during this time. But how is the use of rubber affected due to the transformation to electric vehicles? Will the need of rubber and rubber parts be lower when fuel systems and combustion chambers, including their cooling systems, are removed, and replaced by electric propulsion? </p> <p><br /> This presentation will give an overview of where rubber is used in heavy vehicles with combustion engines, and how it will be altered due to electrical drivelines being introduced.</p> </div> </div> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h4> </h4> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-4 col-lg-4"> <img src="https://www.iom3.org/static/bf5d00d1-9e6e-49df-b4c96f9a14a8b237/168x104_highestperformance__4a7c7e45a350/Elastomer-Group-H104px.png" alt="" style="margin:5px auto 5px auto;
