IACMI, DuPont and Purdue partner on automotive carbon-fiber composites

Green Car Congress

Multiple factors, including cost and design constraints, present barriers to the adoption of composites in high volume automotive applications. This new IACMI project will address both of these critical areas through a fundamentally different approach to the manufacturing of carbon fiber composites versus those currently in use today.

Lamborghini unveils Lanzador electric concept

Green Car Congress

The Lanzador is a preview of the production vehicle that Lamborghini will present in 2028. Following the presentation of the V12 plug-in hybrid Revuelto ( earlier post ), the Lanzador gives an insight into the series model to be built from 2028. It is imported to Europe once a year and by ship, which reduces the carbon footprint.

Altran and Quimera to present All Electric GT prototype at Frankfurt

Green Car Congress

Quimera and Altran, its global technological partner of Quimera, will present the “All Electric GT” AEG prototype at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The monocoque chassis is made entirely of carbon fiber to make it lighter and more rigid. Supplied by a series of lithium-polymer EIG batteries, the AEGT can run for about 30 minutes.

Audi introduces new A4 Avant g-tron; Audi e-gas offered as standard

Green Car Congress

The correct pressure is always present in the gas line and at the injector valves – low pressure for efficient driving in the lower speed range, and higher pressure for more power and torque. Audi and its partners produce the fuel using renewable energies, water and CO 2 or from waste materials like straw and plant clippings.
