com? Recently, an Israeli company called Plasan released a new type of carbon composite material that can be used in the production of car bodies and frames
.
It is reported that the new material is slightly more expensive than traditional steel, but lower than the cost of carbon fiber, and has the characteristics of high strength and lighter weight, and can be mass-produced
.
It is reported that this new material is expected to come out in the next 3-4 years
.
? Carbon fiber material is the ideal choice for both high strength and lightness in the automotive field, but it not only has a high manufacturing cost, but also has a complicated process, which is not conducive to mass production
.
The new material released by Plasan is actually based on the pultrusion manufacturing process, which can be manufactured into different shapes, so it can be used to produce frames and bodies
.
Although the cost of the new material is higher than that of traditional steel, it is lower than that of carbon fiber.
Together with its lightness, it is very suitable for the use of new energy vehicles
.
Plasan revealed that they are already in talks with some manufacturers and expect this technology to come out within 3-4 years
