<New technology/Unique technology>
-Aluminum hybrid weld
This technology reduces blow holes in the welded portion between die-cast and flatting materials. Proper combination of materials has achieved both light weight and high rigidity. 

-Full-curl tube
This technology makes possible tube forming by curling welded plates, and also contributes to lower costs and greater flexibility in designing compared with the conventional method of using tubes. It is adopted by the Nissan Lafesta launched in December 2004. 

-Tailor welded blank
After plasma welding, plates are formed by stamping to products. This process contributes to reduction in weight and costs.

-Press-fit vibration control rubber
Vulcanized rubber is firmly glued by a urethane adhesive. This processing extends allowance in designing such as in spring constant.
External metal fasteners are not needed, and counter part fasteners can also be made smaller, thus contributing to lighter weight and lower costs.
This product is used for Daihatsu Hijet launched in December 2004.
