'''Advanced Compatibility Engineering''' is the marketing name given to an automobile body structure design from [[Honda Motor Company|Honda]]. It claims to distribute collision energy evenly and redirect it away from the passenger compartment, while at the same time, minimizing damage to other impacted vehicles. This is accomplished by using numerous grades of steel (typically four) which crumple in key areas and remain rigid in others.
