As the concept of green travel gains widespread acceptance, new energy vehicles have become the main theme of global automotive market development. Beyond power batteries and control systems, the upgrade in materials for body panels is quietly leading industry innovation. Among various materials, FRP panels have emerged as an ideal choice for new energy vehicle body panels due to their multiple advantages, including being lightweight yet high-strength, corrosion-resistant, aesthetically pleasing, and environmentally friendly.
As a core product of LTECH, FRP panels are being widely used in new energy vehicles such as RVs, refrigerated trucks, and dry cargo trucks, providing high-performance solutions for vehicle manufacturers.
Lightweight Design to Enhance Range
FRP panels, made from fiberglass and thermosetting resin, are lighter in weight and higher in strength compared to traditional metal panels. Reducing vehicle weight directly leads to lower energy consumption, significantly increasing the range of new energy vehicles—a key solution to addressing “range anxiety.”
Furthermore, weight reduction also decreases wear on tires and suspension systems, reducing long-term maintenance needs and improving overall vehicle economy.
Corrosion and Weather Resistance for Extended Service Life
New energy vehicles need to adapt to various road conditions and climates, requiring body panels to possess excellent anti-corrosion properties. The surface layer of FRP panels is a polymer resin coating that resists harsh environments such as acids, alkalis, salt spray, rain, and snow, preventing rust and deformation.
For frequently used vehicles like those in cold chain transport or urban distribution, this high durability effectively reduces maintenance frequency and extends service life, serving as a guarantee of quality for new energy vehicle body panels.
High Design Freedom Supports Customization
The ease of processing FRP grants it greater design flexibility. Whether for streamlined shapes with large curvatures, multi-color coatings, or texture treatments, FRP panels can perfectly adapt, meeting the dual demands for aesthetics and functionality from various new energy vehicle brands.
LTECH offers customized production, with widths up to 3 meters, thicknesses from 0.3-6mm, and customizable colors, surface textures, and coatings based on requirements.
Environmentally Sustainable, Aligning with Industry Trends
Environmental protection is one of the core values of new energy vehicles. The manufacturing process of FRP panels involves low energy consumption and minimal emissions, aligning with current energy-saving and emission-reduction requirements. Their excellent thermal insulation properties can also reduce air conditioning energy consumption, further enhancing overall vehicle energy efficiency.
Additionally, with advancements in recycling technology, the recyclability of FRP materials continues to improve, contributing to the development of closed-loop green manufacturing.
