The precise injection moulding technique is used to produce plastic parts that are not only much more delicate, but are durable and resistant. The vehicle keys are injection-moulded from "thermoplastics" and provide a material thickness of at least six mm. The company has also planned for innovations like the displaying the vehicle status, which would be likely possible with the integration of NFC chips.
