Polestar has partnered with Swiss company Bcomp to replace a large number of plastic panels in the car with natural material flax and replace seats with recycled plastic, further promoting sustainable development. According to Polestar, flax plants can not only be used as edible materials, but also as clothing fabrics. The reason for choosing flax material is that it is 50% lighter and has higher strength than traditional plastic materials. Polestar says this approach can reduce the amount of plastic used in cars by 80%.
In addition to using linen materials, Polestar will also plan to use a range of other materials for the interior of the vehicle. For example, the seat surface uses 3D woven materials made from plastic bottles by Bcomp Company; Carpet made from discarded fishing nets; And using the waste generated during the cork manufacturing process to produce vehicle PVC internal components.
"We will not lose some more luxurious designs by using these materials," Maximilian Missoni, the design director of Polestar, said in a statement. He pointed out that this is a very big challenge, and Polestar will gain new aesthetic value due to the adoption of new technologies.
Previously, Polestar 2, a subsidiary of Polestar Polar Star, had undergone trial production in China and will officially begin mass production and delivery in the first half of this year. The official price for the first release is 418000 yuan.

International industrial transfer is accelerating, and mergers and acquisitions are active: Domestic component companies are small in scale, weak in strength, and lacking in research and development capabilities. In this context, if the component industry wants to develop rapidly, it must accelerate mergers and acquisitions to form a scale effect. 2. Auto parts enterprises actively implement systematic development, modular manufacturing, and integrated supply. The development characteristics of auto parts industry clusters are obvious: the development of component industry clusters is equally important to the development of the automotive industry, and to become larger and stronger, it is necessary to develop into an industrial cluster, which is a strategic choice for the auto parts industry. 3.

Car seat position adjustment

Many drivers often neglect to adjust the position of the driver's seat before driving. In fact, correct driving posture can effectively protect the safety of the driver. If the seat position is not appropriate, it can affect the driver's visibility and handling sensitivity, and even lead to traffic accidents, hurting oneself and others. Therefore, the first thing before driving is to adjust the height of the driver's seat. The correct seat height should be adjusted so that the driver's line of sight is not blocked by the steering wheel, and all important instruments and street signs can be clearly seen. After adjusting the height of the seat, adjust the front and rear positions of the seat. First of all, you should lean your hips back as much as possible to top between the cushion and the back of the chair, which can make you sit more stable and won't shake. After sitting firmly, pay attention to the position of your hands and feet, and place your left and right hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions on the steering wheel. At this time, you cannot allow your back to leave the seat back. If you leave, it means that you are sitting too far back and must move the seat forward. The other two hands should be slightly bent, so that in the event of an accident, the impact force can be effectively dispersed and the force should not be concentrated on the joints of the arm. In addition, the position of the left and right feet must be such that the legs remain bent when the pedal is pressed to the bottom. If your legs are straight when you step on the pedal to the bottom, be sure to pull the seat forward a bit. It is worth noting that you should not allow your knees to rest on the steering column and maintain a certain distance, otherwise your foot movements will be affected and your reaction will not be timely. Seat belts are a very effective safety device that can effectively alleviate a person's forward momentum. Seat belts also have their own fastening methods, and the position where the seat belt is pulled down in a vehicle can usually be adjusted. The correct position is to position the seat belt against the B-pillar and at the same or similar height to the eye when it is not in use. This way, when the safety belt is buckled, it will just pass through the chest and clavicle, and in the event of a collision, the impact force will not be too concentrated in a certain position, causing harm to passengers. Adjustment method The driver's seat is most lumbar protective when maintaining a seat surface and backrest inclination of approximately 100 degrees. This is because when a person leans against a chair back that is tilted at 100 degrees, the body leans back slightly, which exactly conforms to the natural curve of our waist bending back slightly. At this time, the bulge at the waist of the car seat is designed to best reduce the pressure on the waist. In life, many novice drivers like to adjust the back of their seats straight, thinking that sitting straight is more waist training. But in fact, according to our waist curve, the lumbar spine is straight and the pressure it bears is also the greatest, which is detrimental to the waist. Experts suggest checking the back of your seat before driving today. If you are afraid that 100 degrees is not easy to master, you can first straighten the back of the chair, and then tilt the headrest position of the chair back by about a fist. If you are driving a long-distance car, it is recommended to put a small cushion on the back to better protect your waist.

How to choose a car child seat

We know that there were many types of car child seats before, so how do we buy car child seats? If you want to know, let's take a look at how to choose a car child seat. How to choose a car seat? Methods ① According to the different ages of children, infants under 1 year old should choose a rearward-facing child safety seat. Due to the relative specificity of the baby's head and the relatively fragile cartilage and ligaments in the neck, reverse placement with the car can effectively protect the baby's spine and prevent injury. Children aged 1 to 3 can choose either a rear-facing child safety seat or a forward-facing child safety seat, but it is better to choose a rear-facing child safety seat for greater safety. Children over 3 years of age should have a large space for movement due to their large size and ease of movement. They should choose a forward-facing child safety seat with an adjustable back. ② According to children's body type, children can be fat or thin, with certain differences in weight. There are many types of child safety seats, so it is necessary to choose a child safety seat that is the same size as a child to make it comfortable for the child to ride. ③ According to the adaptability of car seats, child safety seats should match car seats for easy installation. Generally, there is a corresponding vehicle list on the child safety seat, which can be compared and purchased. To ensure safety, it is best to drive when purchasing a seat and install the seat on the car seat on the spot to see if it is suitable.
