Safety & Durability

Body Corrosion Protection & E-Coating Standard

Corrosion protection is evaluated as asset safety, durability and lifecycle engineering — not merely cosmetic paint quality. Structural corrosion can affect body integrity, mounting points, suspension interfaces, door structures, luggage compartments, emergency systems, long-term crashworthiness and vehicle reliability.

A five-star passenger experience requires a five-star structural standard.
