The XCORE project focuses on a new production technology for carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) chassis, aiming to reduce costs and promote the use of lightweight materials in the automotive industry. This shift is expected to lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions significantly.
Today cars are responsible for 12% of the total EU emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas.
European climate policy sets mandatory emission reduction targets for new cars.
Car weight reduction with a CFRP chassis is an effective measure to reduce fuel consumption, increase passenger safety and extend the operational range of electric and hybrid vehicles.
The mainstream automotive industry has not adopted CFRP for chassis production due to the high costs of CFRP production.
