Electric vehicles are changing how we move. They’re also changing what we hear. Instead of the rumble of an engine, EV motors, gears and accessories emit a high-frequency noise; creating a new NVH challenge for automakers.

The tools car designers use to dampen noise, vibration and harshness max out at around 300 Hz. In an EV, the sound frequency is 10 times higher, between 3,000 and 4,000 Hz. Luckily, we’ve designed the ideal solution.

Our award winning AVS technology is designed to dramatically dampen high-frequency vibration without adding weight or complexity. The broad portfolio of tunable grades allows you to find the optimal balance of damping and mechanical performance by operating temperature.

The lightweight solution to easily reduce NVH

Introducing our Vydyne® Anti-Vibration System: it’s a sound idea.

Specifically designed to dampen noise, vibrations and harshness while providing you with enough rigidity for EV vehicle structure, Vydyne® AVS cuts cabin sound and reduces part weight. Our AVS technology outperforms traditional PA66 when it comes to vibrations, especially at higher frequencies like those found in EV motors.

Using Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), our application engineers work with you to select the best grade for your application balancing your damping, operating temperature and mechanical requirements.
