Speeding up in automotive with carbon rims

We have stablish a relationship between Carbures and 2elle-engineering, an Italian engineering company specialized in design and production of rims for cars, with the objective of production carbon fiber rims for cars in long series. Currently, this kind of rims are mounted only in racing cars. Carbures provides the technology to mass production them for all kind of cars.

We work in the design and manufacture of prototypes of two types of rims, one hybrid of aluminum and carbon fiber, which implies a weight reduction between 20 and 30 percent compared to metal rims, and another one made only by carbon with a reduction of 45 percent. Our objective is to start production in long series in 2017.

 

With the carbon fiber rims, not only the car weight is reduced and becomes more efficient since it consumes less fuel, but also vehicle performance is improved because the behavior of the car when moving is improved too.

Automotive industry has squeezed to the maximum engines to pollute less. It is only left working in the development of the other key part of the car: the structure. It is the carbon revolution, the replacement of metal parts with other parts three times more resistant and four times lighter, made by carbon. They are already used in the manufacture of sport, high-end and racing cars. Now, they will be manufactured for cars of daily use.

Carbures leads this revolution because has the necessary technology for the mass production of carbon parts for cars, in this way, speeds up the change in the automotive industry with our mind set on one objective: manufacture cars that are lighter, more resistant and efficient.
