The front grille of this car from Ningbo Zhimei is made of self-developed high-strength engineering composite plastic. Through scientific formula proportioning and advanced molding technology, it has achieved a dual breakthrough of "strong protection" and "lightweight". This material, while retaining the advantages of traditional plastics such as easy molding and controllable cost, incorporates reinforcing fiber components, increasing the structural strength of the grille by more than 40% compared to ordinary plastics. It can effectively resist the impact of gravel, branches and other debris, and build a solid protective barrier for the key components in the engine compartment. Meanwhile, compared with traditional metal grilles, the composite material reduces the product weight by 30%, directly contributing to the achievement of the vehicle's lightweight goal. According to industry data estimates, the application of such lightweight components can reduce the fuel consumption of fuel vehicles by 6% to 8% per 100 kilometers, which is of great significance for improving vehicle energy efficiency. This "strong but not heavy" material characteristic precisely addresses the industry pain point of the automotive front grille, where it is difficult to balance protection and lightweight.
Against the backdrop of the global "dual carbon" strategy and increasingly strict environmental protection regulations, Ningbo Zhimei has deeply integrated the green concept into material selection. The composite material used in this front grille has passed authoritative environmental protection certification. During the production process, the VOC emissions are far lower than the industry standards, and it has excellent recyclability, which meets the requirements of the circular economy development in the automotive industry. In addition, the material does not release harmful gases under complex working conditions such as high temperature and humidity, which not only ensures the safety of the air quality inside the vehicle but also reduces the environmental impact of the components throughout their entire life cycle. This move not only responds to the policy orientation of green manufacturing in China's "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)", but also conforms to the global automotive industry's application trend of sustainable materials - according to a report by McKinsey, By 2025, approximately 45% of the exterior parts of new energy vehicles worldwide will be made of renewable or degradable materials.
In response to the engine cooling parameters and driving conditions of the Geely Atlas Azkala model, Ningbo Zhimei has carried out special optimization on the grille material. The material has excellent thermal stability and can maintain structural stability in extreme temperature environments ranging from -40 ℃ to 80℃ without deformation or cracking. This ensures that the air flow guidance function of the grille is not affected during long-distance driving, climbing slopes and other high-load scenarios, continuously providing efficient heat dissipation support for the engine and radiator. Meanwhile, the surface of the material has undergone special coating treatment, significantly enhancing its anti-aging and anti-corrosion performance. It can withstand the erosion of harsh environments such as sun exposure, rain, and road dust, extending the product's service life, reducing the maintenance costs for car owners, and perfectly meeting the long-term usage scenarios of household cars.
Ningbo Zhimei has not been confined to the current demands in the research and development of grille materials. Instead, it has proactively laid out the development direction of "intelligence and integration" in the automotive industry. This composite material has excellent signal penetration, reserving technical space for the future integration of millimeter-wave radars, cameras and other ADAS sensors into the grille, which conforms to the development trend of "functional integration" of the front grille in intelligent connected vehicles. In addition, the enterprise is continuously promoting the iterative upgrade of materials, exploring the application feasibility of new materials such as carbon fiber reinforced composites and bio-based plastics. In the future, it is expected to achieve "further enhancement of material strength, further reduction of weight, and further improvement of environmental friendliness", further expanding the adaptability of products in new energy vehicle models. According to industry reports, the penetration rate of composite materials in the exterior parts of new energy vehicles has exceeded 75% in 2024. Ningbo Zhimei's material research and development direction is highly consistent with the mainstream trend of the industry, laying a foundation for the enterprise to seize the initiative in the niche market.
