Chrysler is developing a cheap plastic car that it hopes will sell well in
the developing world. The car’s bodywork is made of four injection-moulded
plastic pieces that snap together onto a lightweight steel chassis. Nearly 20
per cent of the plastic comes from recycled drinks bottles. The finished car
weighs around 500 kilograms, costs £4000 and does 50 miles to the gallon.
It is now undergoing crash tests.
