As a leading automotive composite parts supplier in China, saishipinweio (Tangshan) structural composite material Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as saishipinweio) announced on April 22 that the first domestic SMC composite truck rear bucket has been successfully applied to Jiangling pickup Yuhu 3 SMC reinforced container model and Yuhu 5 SMC reinforced container model. The SMC back bucket, developed and produced in cooperation with Jiangling Automobile, comprehensively solves the problems of heavy weight, easy corrosion and high investment of traditional sheet metal materials.

The cooperation between the two sides began in 2017. Saishipinweio R & D team provides Jiangling with a package of solutions from raw material development, production technology to product design. The project also draws on the successful experience of CSP, the parent company, in developing similar products in North America. This innovative project adopts SMC sheet molding composite material, and the whole back hopper of the pickup is molded by integrated molding, which greatly reduces the product manufacturing cycle and the number of tooling and dies.

Compared with sheet metal, SMC rear hopper has the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance and impact resistance, which greatly improves the user experience of severe conditions and high corrosive conditions. After tests including tool box impact, oil barrel drop and masonry impact, it is shown that the rear bucket of SMC will not leave large dents like the sheet metal material.

Saishipinweio is a joint venture company established by CSP and Qingdao Weiao Railway Co., Ltd. Sespinvio's target market is mainly focused on passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and new energy vehicles, which can provide all-round lightweight solutions for customers including new energy vehicles. The China regional management headquarters of the joint venture is located in the automobile science and technology innovation port of Shanghai Anting International Automobile City. The first production base is located in Tangshan City, Hebei Province. The second production base will be built in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province in 2020.
