Benefits of using CFRP

In the racing world, the drivers compete for 0.01 seconds, so the weight of the vehicles is very important point.
It is possible to reduce the weight by using CFRP for various structural parts attached to the body.
It seems that CFRP is used for special vehicles such as racing motorcycles and luxury cars, but with the recent spread popularity of electric vehicles, it is also being applied to standard automobiles.
We would like to introduce you some including our achievements.

【Features】

  • Expecting to improve speed and deceleration performance by reducing the weight of vehicle body.
  • Centrifugal force can be reduced by reducing the weight of structural parts located far from the center of rotation of the vehicle.
    By reducing the centrifugal force, it can be expected to improve the turning performance during cornering.
  • High strength keeps the driver safe.
