    TRB Lightweight Structures (Huntington, UK) announced the development of a composite underbody protection panel that significantly improves impact absorption while reducing weight
    .

    The panels are made of toughened TRB resin using a cost-effective high-volume manufacturing process developed in parallel with the new solution, which is now operating in North America and the UK, the company said
    .

    The new protective panels feature a sandwich structure of advanced materials, intelligently layered to provide different impact absorption strengths based on location
    .

    According to TRB, tests have shown that compared to steel solutions, the impact absorption rate is often doubled, while the weight is halved
    .
    Plates can be painted, but unlike steel, no paint is required for corrosion protection

    .
    The lightweight construction of these boards simplifies installation and replacement

    .

    "Skateboard chassis designs require better battery protection for on- and off-road vehicles," said Richard Holland, Managing Director of TRB Lightweight Structures
    .
    "Our approach leverages decades of knowledge in the development and testing of materials and manufacturing methods to provide a cost-effective solution for automotive components that can reduce weight and improve performance

    .
    "

    TRB will be showcasing its products and technologies at the European Battery Show in Stuttgart starting November 30
