Part reduction is achieved through integration of the window regulator, latch, audio, interior panel, electrical, and electronics systems components. Mass savings of over 0.9 kg (2 lb) / vehicle were realized, along with 50% reduction in assembly costs, and 10% reductions in materials costs. | |||
| Most Innovative Feature: Single piece door module and structural reinforcement. Use of long-fiber technology to produce light-weight carrier combining structural, acoustics and safety door functions. | |||
| Other Innovative Features: Integrated features to
reduce door bill of material and molded-in attachments for add-on
components such as window regulator, latch, audio, interior panel,
electrical and electronics systems |
