IFP – Integrative front-end philosophy

HBPO, in collaboration with its parent companies Hella, Behr and Plastic Omnium, has succeeded in implementing a comprehensive, integrative front-end project.

The IFP front-end module in question offers not only a seamless, flexible vehicle front, but also a greater level of design freedom compared with the conventional modules.

Moreover, it manages to integrate more functions while using fewer components. Further benefits offered by the module include lower process complexity, ease of assembly and lower repair costs in the event of a collision.

Design – efficiency – protection
