The Teijin Motors online site showcases many high-performance materials and advanced processing technologies

The PU_PA III concept car features a rear display made of Teijin's Panlite polycarbonate resin, treated with a water-repellent hard coating to protect the sensors from dust and scratches, and a steering wheel horn pad made of light-transmitting faux leather and door trims that combine a luxurious look with smart features that display information only when necessary
.
The website also features Teijin's multi-material battery case, which is made of lightweight composite materials to reduce vehicle weight and improve safety; the tires are made of Twaron para-aramid fiber, which combines an extra-large diameter with an ultra-thin rubber layer.
Combined, it is ideal for electric vehicles
