NORMA Group has won a major order for tank ventilation systems for a well-known European car manufacturer. From mid 2026 until 2035, NORMA will supply these systems for gasoline powered passenger cars and plug-in hybrids. 

NORMA’s order includes the development and production of tank ventilation systems for various models of the OEM. The systems consist of several plastic tubes and quick connectors, which NORMA manufactures in Subotica, Serbia, as well as in Qingdao, China. The customer installs these systems in the vehicles at its plants in Europe, Asia and America. 

Gasoline contains harmful volatile organic compounds that can be released into the air through evaporation. Among others, the
Euro 6 and China 6 emission standards contain strict limits for evaporative emissions from gasoline vehicles. The tank vent line from NORMA Group is connected to the tank and prevents fuel vapours from escaping into the environment. Instead, the ventilation system directs the gasoline vapours from the tank into an activated carbon container, where they are stored and later fed into the regular combustion process.  

Guido Grandi, CEO of NORMA Group, comments: “The transformation of the automotive industry towards climate friendly mobility is in full swing, fuelled by increasingly stringent emission standards for vehicles. As a development partner, NORMA supports our customers in complying with these standards. Low emission mobility, through efficient combustion vehicles that are as clean as possible, is an important intermediate step as electromobility picks up speed.”
