The electric powertrain of e-motor, power electronics, and transmission demands plastics resistant to heat and media – PA GF, PBT GF, POM, and PC/ABS determine component costs here.

Companies that rely on pricenxt




With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
With the market ramp-up, the electric drive is being manufactured in sharply rising volumes; price movements in glass-fibre reinforced polyamides, PBT, and POM feed directly into material costs.
Demanding materials: thermoplastics resistant to heat and media for the motor, inverter and transmission are priced above standard plastics.
Glass-fibre reinforcement as a price factor: GF grades follow their own price path compared with the natural compounds and shape component costs.
Growing unit volumes: as electric vehicle production rises, material costs carry more weight in the powertrain.



From procurement through to sales, pricenxt supports key decisions across the entire value chain.
Tracks the price development of PA, PBT and POM grades, gauges the company’s own level and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
Assesses materials and reinforcement levels for motor, inverter and transmission parts by cost and requirement and factors price movements into the selection.
Calculates the effect of price movements on drive costs and bases programme decisions on dependable market data.
