Now available for manufacturer testing and review, the Injected-Core™ Molded Composite Body and Chassis System enables designers to achieve more sculpted vehicle design and aesthetics. The molded one-piece bodies can be up to 50 feet in length, complete with molded-in metallic finish and interior surfaces. Up to 40% savings in labor costs may be achieved over conventional RV construction methods, which has been demonstrated via extensive testing and validation.

Benefits of the innovative Injected-Core™ Molded Composite Body and Chassis System include:

• Sleek automotive-like styling, streamlined RV body
  
  
• Lightweight body and chassis system, which results in improved fuel economy
  
  
• One-piece molded construction eliminates roof and body water leaks
  
  
• Improved vehicle lifespan and resale
  
  
• Outstanding fit and finish
  
  
• Better road handling with a lowered center of gravity
  
  
• Lower labor costs, faster time to market

A major North American RV manufacturer is currently testing and evaluating the technology and others are expected to follow very shortly. Global roll-out is planned for 2008-09.
