Tailgate wedge alignment structure: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Manual closure of large body openings causes ergonomic strain and inconsistent sealing, which is mitigated through motorized actuation systems. These mechanisms reduce warranty costs by ensuring precise alignment and soft-close functionality.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Tailgate wedge alignment structure?

Component misalignment and rattle

(45)evidences

Standard vehicle closures and rigid hinge structures pose significant trauma risks to external persons during collisions. Reducing impact force through specialized hinge displacement or locking mechanisms minimizes fatal injury outcomes.

Occupant entrapment during closure

(4)evidences

High-speed airflow creates disruptive pressure fluctuations and noise for occupants in open-top vehicles. Mitigating this instability improves passenger comfort and vehicle aerodynamic efficiency.
