The car parts that Carbures has manufactured for SEAT’s Prototypes Centre of Development (CPD), are the best tool to ensure, not only the quality of vehicles, but also the maximum cost reduction associated with the manufacturing process. Incorporating carbon fiber parts in regular cars is a manufacturing trend that is speeding up within the industry in response to the benefits it means for vehicles.Replacing metal with carbon fiber parts reduces the car weight and provides greater security for occupants, as it is much stronger and impact resistant.
Manufacturing parts for prototypes launched by brands is, within the automotive industry, the previous step for incorporating those pieces to the ordinary models, the ones you can see on the road, and therefore, for the process of manufacturing such parts in long series.
The CPD is located in the heart of the SEAT plant at Martorell (Barcelona, Spain) and represents the launch of the innovative processes for car manufacturing with carbon fiber, which has a great potential within the Volkswagen Group. Carbures joins forces with SEAT and the Volkswagen Group towards making more efficient, lighter and stronger cars.
