Summary sheet
The investment is for research, development and innovation activities to develop interior and exterior vehicle trim components, addressing the car manufacturer's specific needs in terms of vehicle fuel efficiency, product differentiation and affordability.
The EIB loan will be used by the promoter to finance its research, development and innovation (RDI) and strategic deployment investments.
The project concerns investments in research and development (R&D) and technology deployment that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already authorised for the same purpose and would therefore not require an environmental impact assessment (EIA) under Directive 2011/92/EU. Full environmental details will be checked during the appraisal.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting entity. Thus it is not covered by EU rules on procurement.
InnovFin – EU Finance for Innovators is a joint initiative launched by the EIB in cooperation with the European Commission under Horizon 2020. InnovFin consists of a series of integrated and complementary financing tools and advisory services covering the entire value chain of research and innovation in order to support investments from the smallest to the largest enterprise.
