Carbon-fiber drivetrain components, such as axles, are relatively new to the automotive industry and very few of the company’s current suppliers are able to make them. | ||
Carbon-fiber component production is prohibitively expensive in small and medium quantities, so only the largest suppliers have been able to produce them affordably. | ||
If the carbon-fiber axles prove to be successful in dramatically increasing fuel economy, the manufacturer will consider using the new axles on other vehicles it produces. | ||
The manufacturer’s own engineering department designed the innovative technique for using carbon fibers in axles, a technique that the company would like to keep proprietary. | ||
The raw materials required to produce carbon-fiber axles strong enough to support the weight of an automobile are currently much more expensive than the steel required for traditional axles. |
