The quest to save weight and make vehicles more environmentally friendly has left no part of a car untouched - not even the wires that connect the electrical components.
Delphi says its Packard Electric division will equip a vehicle to be introduced next year with thin-walled wires that weigh 25 percent less than traditional wiring.
The weight savings comes from a new type of flexible plastic coating that Delphi developed with General Electric's Advanced Materials division. GE will supply Delphi with resins for the product, called Flexible Noryl.
