Volkswagen participates in Fraunhofer snow fog and windshield development project

Volkswagen Group announced its participation in the Fraunhofer Applied Research Promotion Association ’s snow fog windshield development project. The new product uses a conductive ultra-thin (Wafer-thin) transparent indium tin oxide (Indium TIn Oxide) coating. Low-E (Low Thermal Emissivity) CoaTIng low heat dissipation coating can protect the surface of the car windshield from sudden temperature drops and maintain a certain degree of dryness, which fundamentally hinders the formation of ice (up to -18 degrees Celsius / 0 Fahrenheit temperature conditions are still valid).

Volvo develops body panel batteries

Companies such as Royal College London and Volvo and academic institutions jointly develop body panel batteries. The new material uses nanotechnology and is basically constructed with two layers of ultra-fine carbon fibers sandwiched by a layer of resin / glass fibers. The body panels can be used in roofs, doors, car horns, floors, etc. It provides high support strength and functions as a battery, which is expected to increase the travel distance of electric vehicles.

The seat will help avoid traffic accidents caused by blind spots.

2011 Mazda 2 cuts vehicle weight and improves driving performance

The 2011 Mazda 2 is about 10% lighter than the previous model, making it the lightest car in its class. There are two main weight loss measures: First, the use of new materials and new design of the car structure makes the car body lighter and stronger. Every component is carefully tested to find opportunities for weight loss. The "weight control strategy" is similar. Another structural measure for weight loss and reinforcement is to improve the welding process.

Porsche trunk liner will use thermoplastic composites

Lotus Engineering Corporation uses high-strength steel for lightweight body

Lotus Engineering has recently launched a research experiment to replace low-carbon steel with high-strength steel in the body-in-white manufacturing of the 2009 Venza crossover Toyota. After using high-strength steel, the weight of the body-in-white is reduced by 16%, and the cost is also reduced by 2%.

New Ford Explorer will use Lear Soy Foam Technology

Lear ’s world-leading SoyFoam ™ soybean polyurethane foam technology will be applied to the seat cushion and seat back of Ford ’s 2011 Explorer SUV.

Ford uses convex side mirrors to eliminate blind spots

Ford uses convex mirrors to eliminate blind spots. This solution has several advantages. The first is low cost, which is more popular than high-cost radar detection systems. Secondly, the device is developed and produced by the car manufacturer itself. It is not so much an added device as a vehicle fixing device, so it can fit well into the design of the car without damaging the overall pattern.
