Automotive lightweighting is a perpetual theme. A 10% reduction in vehicle weight can improve fuel efficiency by 6%–8%. Reducing vehicle weight by 100 kg can decrease CO₂ emissions by approximately 5 g/km. For new energy vehicles (NEVs), cutting 100 kg in weight can increase driving range by 10%–11%, reduce battery costs by 20%, and lower daily operating losses by 20%.
Over the years, our lightweight resin solutions have been widely applied in commercial vehicles (air deflectors, front panels, etc.), passenger cars (rear liftgates, underbody shields), rail transit (car bodies, seats, restrooms), refrigerated trucks (compartment panels), and new energy vehicles (battery covers).
