Jeep® Renegade roof racks: co-design and production.
MA acts entirely as a full service supplier of roof racks.
The roof racks project was co-designed for FCA and represented the very first roof racks ever produced by MA.
For this kind of components, MA acts entirely as a full service supplier.
Following the phases of concept and solution development, and virtual and physical validation, the co-design led to the manufacturing processes. The processes involved are extrusion, stretch bending and milling, surface treatment, injection moulding and assembly.
