XC90 interior: IntelliSafe® Part on top-right
The agreement focuses on the manufacturing of the IntelliSafe® body part (the “part”) in the back of the central rear-mirror that contains the system’s radar.
After a successful development, RocTool 3iTech allows a perfect replication of the microstructure of the mold steel for the production of the part.
Applied on the inside of the part, the RocTool technology brings significant changes to the optical properties of the surface of the plastic, preventing the rising sun lights that enters inside the part to blind the radar. As of today no other technology is able to obtain such optical properties on a one-shot manufacturing without additional operations (e.g. painting).
To be released 1st on the all-new XC90.
