Thanks to the One-Shot<\/span>\u00ae\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Method, the Jeep Renegade is the only car to be equipped with a bi-injection pillar: the One-Shot Bicolor A Pillar. Such a component, and the method through which it is obtained, allows for major safety, while eliminating all flaws deriving from components assembly, and granting less environmental impact<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a story that started back in Rome, on the Lungotevere.<\/p>\n

It was about six o\u2019clock in the afternoon. I was walking at a fast pace: I had a meeting and wanted to get there early. I kept looking down at my feet while thinking about what I was going to say.<\/p>\n

Not paying attention to what was in front of me, I didn\u2019t notice a small group of guys on my way. They were all looking in the same direction.<\/p>\n

You probably know that feeling of just being out of it, thinking about something else.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t pay attention to a beautiful painting on the wall along the river: there were flowers, butterflies and lizards, all contributing to making the town a little more colorful.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome very talented person must have been here.\u201d I thought to myself as I kept going.<\/p>\n

This could easily be the end of the story, but there\u2019s more.<\/p>\n

The Lungotevere wall painted by Laura Galletti.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You must be wondering what this has to do with the first bi-injection pillar that was manufactured and tested by our company.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you.<\/p>\n

That sight had an impact on me.<\/p>\n

I later found out that the wall had been painted by Laura Galletti, who was actually living inside that shack she had painted. She was a former graphic designer who willingly became a clochard.<\/p>\n

She had beautifully painted a small area, making it something unique. A nice place to live.<\/p>\n

This memory came back to me some time ago, when Jeep asked us something peculiar.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Jeep Renegade: a majestic car with an extremely large side pillar who could have resulted in a bit of an oppressive design for those inside the car.<\/p>\n

You know how important it is to have a comfortable and beautiful design.<\/p>\n

Our engineers immediately started to work on the car, so to find the best possible solution to bring together performances and design.<\/p>\n

We initially thought about making the front pillar a little smaller, through a plastic component. Unfortunately, this would have proven not ideal in the case of the airbag going off.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when it hit us: a molded bi-injection pillar allowing for the manufacturing of bicolor unassembled components.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How? You might be wondering.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the process.<\/strong><\/p>\n
