Building on nearly 100 years of experience, the TI Automotive Fluid Carrying Systems Division designs and manufactures fluid-carrying systems that meet the complex assembly, design and performance challenges of the automotive industry, including:
- Fuel lines
- Brake lines
- Tank top lines
- ABS/ESP Bundles
- Heated SCR Lines
- Vacuum booster lines
- Brake and fuel bundles
- Exhaust treatment lines
Our expertise embraces the development and manufacture of multilayer low-permeation plastic tubes, high-pressure steel double-wall and single-wall tubes, quick connectors and flexible lines. To meet the demanding requirements of the modern automotive industry, TI Automotive has developed specialty internal and external coatings designed to withstand corrosion, abrasion and other environmental hazards.
Our global manufacturing presence serves all the established markets as well as the newly developing markets around the world. This global manufacturing presence combined with our global technical development centers enables us to provide an unrivaled level of service to the global automotive industry from design to manufacture to just-in-time delivery.
Our Strengths
- Brake and fuel lines are designed to fit in a crowded chassis environment by optimizing materials, saving space and maximizing installation speed. They are specifically engineered for each vehicle.
- Optimizing a bundle supply approach of “just-in-time supply” or sequenced delivery from our global network of operations (or on-site production) contributes to simple inventory control and reduced assembly line congestion.
- Capability and competency in handling complete fluid-carrying systems as well as core components such as metal and plastic tubing, along with quick connector technology.
- Vertical integration with highly automated processes and facilities for regional manufacturing.
Product Highlights
Systems that combine and integrate high-performance materials and components such as:
- Double-wall steel tubing that can be combined with an extensive range of anticorrosion/antiabrasion coatings such as NyAl (aluminum and polyamide coating) NyZinc (Zinc and polyamide coating), NyGal (Galfan and polyamide coating), PVF and many others. These tubes can be provided with a polypropylene jacket to provide outstanding abrasion resistance.
- Single-wall steel tubing with the same coating range as double-wall tubing but with the addition of a nickel-coated internal diameter to withstand the corrosive environment provided by modern-day fuels.
- Multi-layer nylon tubing with a range of permeation barriers and high-temperature capabilities.
- Easy-to-assemble Quick Connectors that form an integral part of the overall fuel system through the use of spin-welding joints.
- Heated nylon tubes for use in Selective Catalytic Reduction systems for NOx reduction.
