Body Panels | Vehicle body protection, aesthetics | Industry Standard: Steel/Aluminum (2.5mm thickness, ASTM A36) Our Base: High-Density Plastic (2.0mm, ASTM D638) Our Advanced: Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Plastic (1.8mm, ISO 529) | ▲ Lightweight: Base (-20% weight vs steel), Advanced (-35% weight) Corrosion resistance (ASTM B117 salt spray test) | Lower impact resistance (plastic) vs metal; requires specialized repair tools |
Wheels | High-performance driving, off-road | Industry Standard: Alloy (225 lbs load capacity, SAE J2530) Our Base: Lightweight Plastic Composite (200 lbs) Our Advanced: Forged Aluminum (250 lbs) | ▲ Cost-Effective: Base (-30% cost vs alloy) Quieter ride (43 dBA vs 50 dBA for alloy) | Plastic may warp under extreme heat; limited load capacity for Base version |
Engine Components | Thermal management, high-stress use | Industry Standard: Cast Iron (250°C max temp, ASTM E1461) Our Base: Heat-Resistant Plastic (180°C) Our Advanced: Ceramic-Coated Metal (300°C) | ▲ Fuel Efficiency: Base (-8% weight improves MPG) Quieter operation (reduces engine noise by 15%) | Plastic may degrade over time; Advanced version requires premium lubricants |
Interior Trim | Cabin aesthetics, comfort | Industry Standard: PVC (10,000 abrasion cycles, ISO 4649) Our Base: Recycled Plastic (8,000 cycles) Our Advanced: Leather-Look Plastic (12,000 cycles) | ▲ Eco-Friendly: Base (100% recyclable) Cost-effective luxury look (Advanced) | Base version may crack under UV exposure; less durable than leather |
Lighting Systems | Visibility in adverse conditions | Industry Standard: Halogen (1,200 lumens, IES LM-79) Our Base: LED with Plastic Housing (1,500 lumens) Our Advanced: Adaptive LED (2,000 lumens) | ▲ Energy Efficiency: Base (-50% power use vs halogen) Advanced: Auto-dimming (reduces glare by 40%) | Plastic housing may yellow over time; Advanced requires complex wiring |
Exhaust Systems | Performance tuning, noise reduction | Industry Standard: Stainless Steel (40 dB noise, SAE J1161) Our Base: Plastic Composite (38 dB) Our Advanced: Titanium (35 dB) | ▲ Weight Savings: Base (-15% vs steel), Advanced (-40%) Quieter than steel at highway speeds | Plastic may degrade at high temps (>600°C); Advanced version costly |
