Carbon fiber components have been widely used in automotive structures, including hoods, trunk lids, side panels, doors, and the entire top structure.
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is widely used in Polestar 1 cars
On June 18, Polestar (Göteborg, Sweden) provided the construction of the Polestar 1 small-capacity electric performance hybrid GT car. The car is widely used. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). The overall weight is reduced by 230 kg. Most of the main parts are made of lightweight materials.
The carbon fiber body of Polestar 1 represents the first exploration of carbon fiber structure by Volvo Car Group (Göteborg, Sweden). The Polestar production center currently under construction will be fully put into production in mid-2019 and is currently dedicated to the complex nature of carbon fiber structures.
According to Polestar, carbon fiber components have been widely used in the structure of automobiles, including engine hoods, trunk lids, side panels, doors, and the entire top structure. 'Car's' parts are also made of CFRP. ' Polestar products Creative director Christian Samson said.
It is said that the castellated part plays an important role in creating the reaction kinetics of the Polestar 1 car - it is reported that it can improve one of the key points in the body structure, namely the torsional stiffness between the mid floor and the rear part of the floor.
'When the enhanced frame is combined with a superb body and roof structure, it will form a chassis that is rigid and convertible. It can translate the driver's input into excellent driving characteristics.' Christian Samson continued.
Carbon fiber also contributes to the design of the Polestar 1 car. The top structure of carbon fiber is not only thinner and stronger than steel, but also can reduce the height of the roof.
Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath stated: 'To achieve our design, engineering and performance goals in the Polestar 1 car, carbon fiber plays a vital role. The product has an aesthetic, technical packaging, and its elegant appearance and outline Are loyal to the original design. '
