Trunk Floor | Maserati Ghibli
The trunk floor is composed of a polypropylene honeycomb core and glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite skins. A honeycomb sandwich panel with wood-flour filled PP composite (WPC) skins is an alternative solution.
The laminated honeycomb panel is converted into the final part by conventional thermoforming.
