Carbon ThreeSixty Develops Aerodynamic Thermoplastic Wheel Covers for Road Vehicles
compositesworld.comCarbon ThreeSixty is introducing new aerodynamic wheel covers developed using Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) technology. These composite components are designed to reduce drag and improve the energy efficiency of road vehicles, particularly electric vehicles where range optimization is critical. The use of thermoplastic composites allows for a more sustainable manufacturing process compared to traditional materials. By optimizing airflow around the wheels, these covers help lower energy consumption and reduce the overall carbon footprint of vehicle operations.
