Overmolded Hydroformed Structural Front-End Carrier


This is industry’s first injection-molded plastic over a hydroformed steel tube front-end carrier, yielding excellent craftsmanship and styling freedom, a 30% mass & 70% part-count reduction vs. stamped steel, package space reduction for aggressive lighting design, and improved airflow, which reduces radiator warranty issues.  Special 3D plastic mechanical attachments to the steel tube create a secure connection and help the vehicle achieve a 5 Star Crash Rating – the first Australian vehicle to do so.
