Stamped out.

Stamped out: The fully enclosed stamped metal cab of Dumur
Industries' Wolverine All-Terrain vehicle (ATV) has been replaced
by a pre-coloured thermoformed plastic unit produced by Acrylon Plastics
in Manitoba, Canada, using LyondellBasell's Sequel E3000 engineered
polyolefin selected for its impact resistance and low-temperature
ductility and UV resistance. The change has reduced the weight as well
as manufacturing and maintenance costs.
