Dongfeng Nissan's newly launched Teana is made of high-strength steel that can withstand around 980 MPa. Maximum strength has been achieved while maintaining a very powerful engine. Fuel consumption per hundred kilometers is 7.3 liters, which is the lowest fuel consumption for a similar model.
According to research and evaluation of car bodies, they account for about 30 percent of the total weight of a car. At no load, about 75 percent of gasoline consumption goes to the car's body weight. If the weight of the car body is reduced by 100 kg, then fuel consumption per 100 km can be reduced by 0.3-0.6 liters, and carbon dioxide emissions per kilometer can be reduced by about 5 grams. Thus, the production of lightweight vehicles is an effective way to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
It has now been proven that high-strength steels are the most economically viable material for the production of durable, lightweight vehicles. This allows the vehicle to maintain the best safety performance while reducing weight. According to European standards, in a collision, the strength performance of a car that does not use high-strength steel is rated with only one star, while for a car made of high-strength steel, the collision force can reach a higher level and deserves five stars by these standards. p>
