Kyoho Technology

Weight reduction

As a countermeasure to “springback,” which is a problem idiosyncratic to the use of high-tensile strength steel sheet, Kyoho utilizes the latest digital tools to incorporate solutions into each manufacturing process where problems arise (autonomous processing). This allows the use of thinner steel sheet panels without lowering overall body stiffness, thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle.
This is a technological contribution not just to the improvement of fuel efficiency but also to the global environment,
