2. Premium Material Selection & Precision Manufacturing Process
The 5512010-A01 Splash Guard is crafted from high-performance, automotive-grade materials, carefully selected to meet the strict requirements of an exterior/undercarriage component that operates in a harsh environment—prioritizing excellent impact resistance, flexibility, corrosion resistance, weather resistance, and structural durability. The material selection is optimized to balance protection performance, service life, and cost-effectiveness, ensuring the splash guard can withstand constant impact from road debris, exposure to extreme temperatures (ranging from -30°C to 80°C), UV radiation, rain, snow, road salt, and other corrosive substances, without cracking, warping, or degrading over time.
The core structure of the 5512010-A01 Splash Guard is made of high-quality thermoplastic polypropylene (PP) with glass fiber reinforcement (PP+GF20), a material widely recognized in the automotive industry for its exceptional impact resistance, flexibility, and durability. Polypropylene is chosen for its ability to absorb impact from flying gravel and debris without cracking, even in low temperatures—critical for vehicles operating in cold climates. The glass fiber reinforcement (20% by weight) enhances the material’s structural strength and rigidity, preventing warping and deformation under stress, while maintaining sufficient flexibility to conform to the Z300’s wheel well contours. Additionally, PP+GF20 is lightweight (reducing overall vehicle weight and fuel consumption), corrosion-resistant (impervious to water, road salt, and chemicals), and UV-stabilized (preventing fading, brittleness, and discoloration caused by long-term exposure to sunlight).
To further enhance the performance and durability of the 5512010-A01 Splash Guard, it undergoes a series of specialized surface treatments and manufacturing processes. The surface of the splash guard is treated with a UV-resistant coating, which provides an additional layer of protection against UV radiation, ensuring the part retains its original color and flexibility over time. The coating also improves the splash guard’s resistance to dirt and mud, making it easier to clean. Additionally, the splash guard undergoes a thermoforming process, which allows for precise shaping to match the Z300’s wheel well contours, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal protection coverage.
The manufacturing process of the 5512010-A01 follows a strict, ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified production workflow, combining precision thermoforming, automated trimming, and rigorous quality control—consistent with modern automotive exterior component manufacturing standards. The production process begins with the preparation of raw materials: high-purity polypropylene resin and glass fiber are mixed in precise proportions to ensure the material meets Zotye’s specifications for impact resistance, flexibility, and strength. The mixture is then melted and injected into a precision mold designed to replicate the exact contours of the Z300’s wheel well, ensuring the splash guard’s shape and dimensions are accurate to within 0.1mm.
After thermoforming, the splash guard is subjected to automated trimming to remove any excess material and ensure clean, precise edges. The mounting holes are then drilled using computer-controlled machinery, ensuring they align perfectly with the Z300’s wheel well mounting points. Following manufacturing, each 5512010-A01 Splash Guard undergoes a series of rigorous quality inspections, including dimensional accuracy testing, impact resistance testing, flexibility testing, UV resistance testing, and visual inspection.

Its design is optimized to balance protection performance, aerodynamics, and ease of installation, while adhering to Zotye’s original engineering standards and international safety regulations. The overall structure of the splash guard consists of four key components: the main guard body, integrated mounting tabs, reinforcement ribs, and edge seals—all working together to ensure maximum protection, secure attachment, and compatibility with the Z300’s wheel well system.
The main guard body is the central component of the 5512010-A01, responsible for shielding the vehicle’s wheel well, fender, and undercarriage from road debris, mud, and water. It features a curved, contoured design that perfectly fits the Z300’s wheel well, extending from the front/rear fender down to the undercarriage, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the vulnerable areas. The main body is designed with a slightly angled surface, which helps to redirect water and debris away from the vehicle’s body, reducing the risk of splashes and contamination. The thickness of the main body is optimized (typically 3-4mm) to provide sufficient impact resistance while maintaining flexibility, ensuring it can withstand repeated impacts from gravel and debris without cracking.
The integrated mounting tabs are integral components of the main guard body, designed to align perfectly with the Z300’s wheel well mounting points. The mounting tabs are reinforced with additional glass fiber to ensure they can withstand the stress of vehicle vibration and road impact, preventing breakage or detachment. Each mounting tab features a precision-drilled hole, which is sized to match the Z300’s OEM mounting hardware (typically plastic clips or stainless steel bolts), ensuring a secure, vibration-free attachment. The number and position of the mounting tabs are tailored to the Z300’s specific wheel well design, ensuring the splash guard is held firmly in place even during high-speed driving or rough road conditions.
The reinforcement ribs are strategically placed on the backside of the main guard body, designed to enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the splash guard. The ribs run parallel to the edges of the guard, distributing stress evenly across the entire surface and preventing warping or deformation under impact. Additionally, the ribs help to maintain the splash guard’s shape, ensuring it remains in contact with the wheel well and provides consistent protection. The edge seals are located along the top and side edges of the main guard body, made of a soft, flexible rubber material that forms a tight seal between the splash guard and the vehicle’s fender. This seal prevents water, mud, and debris from seeping between the splash guard and the fender, protecting the underlying body panels from corrosion and scratches.
