    Abstract: Thermoplastic compositions include: at least one polyamide resin; at least about 30 wt % of a reinforcing fiber; and an impact modifier component including at least one impact modifier having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of about −30 degrees Celsius (° C.) or lower. The reinforcing fiber has a fiber length of at least about 10 millimeters (mm). The thermoplastic composition has a notched Izod impact strength of at least 300 Joules per meter (J/m) at −40° C. and a multi-axial impact energy of at least 15 J at −40° C. Methods of forming a pelletized thermoplastic composition, a plurality of thermoplastic pellets, and a composition including the plurality of thermoplastic pellets are also described.
