Rainy days are equivalent to traffic jams in major cities not only in Spain but also globally. This causes very high pollution peaks. But the car industry is evolving towards less polluting vehicles.
The diesel engine crisis has shown that the way to making more sustainable cars has no longer to do with the engine but with the vehicle’s structure. The revolution of carbon fiber in the mobility industry will reduce pollution levels in cities independently of traffic jams.
The materials with which the vehicle parts are constructed have an impact on the speed and the degree of contamination. This is why companies like Carbures are committed to innovation in manufacturing cars and airplanes and have developed their own technology based on carbon fiber, which is 4.5 times lighter and up to three times stronger and more flexible than steel, with which large parts for aircrafts, cars and other vehicles are produced. This way, means of transport are lighter, more efficient and less polluting, reach higher speeds and use less fuel.
The industry is increasingly committed to building more ecological and faster vehicles. Currently, there are already an 80 per cent of aircrafts manufactured in composite materials such as carbon fiber. In the immediate future this type of manufacture will be the usual for most of the models.
This is a breakthrough in the mobility industry, as it will allow to adapt linear manufacture processes of parts for cars or motorbikes replacing metal. Carbures has become one of the main component manufacturers for large companies such as Airbus and Boeing, and has signed agreements to make different components of certain models for aircrafts to ensure their activity within the next ten years. This evolves into vehicles which are made with composites and leave behind the traditional production in metal, which is much heavier and less resilient and flexible.
Carbures is thus committed on working for a better future.
