In response to strong demand from leading OEM customers, Cobra Advanced Composites (CAC), the automotive business of composite products manufacturer Cobra International, has launched a range of production-ready, flax fibre based, visual finish components. The new natural fibre composite solutions offer a sustainable option compared to traditional carbon look visual components. CAC has supplied automotive OEMs with lightweight composite components since 2006, focusing on visual carbon fibre prepreg parts and building a reputation as a leading global supplier to the premium car and motorcycle OEMs. With new European regulatory targets approaching fast, manufacturers have requested CAC with developing alternative composite technologies using more sustainable materials. CAC has used flax fibre prepregs with autoclave processing to create the new components. The low density flax fibres, typically cultivated in Western Europe and much less energy intensive to produce than carbon, provide goo

"Engineers at the National Composites Centre have completed what they say is a European first by manufacturing ceramic matrix composites (CMC) using automated fiber placement (AFP) technology, paving the way for the materials’ high-temperature capabilities to be unlocked within engines." "While conventional nickel-based superalloys have a maximum continuous temperature of approximately 800°C, oxide-based CMC can operate at 1,000°C, with the higher operating temperature potentially improving the efficiency of aerospace engines and reducing fuel consumption and subsequent CO2 emissions." "However, the widespread use of CMC is currently limited to high-value applications, such as heat shields and turbine vanes. Being able to process a more affordable version of the material using AFP technology will reduce the final cost of making CMC parts, the NCC team believes, making them a more appealing proposition for industries that require components that can withstand hi

The companies will be working together to produce the H2 SUVs and cars starting mid-decade. BMW and Toyota have announced that they will be working together for the production of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles beginning as early as 2025, according to a Nikkei Asia report. According to BMW sales chief Pieter Nota in the report the two companies will start in 2025 to produce the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and sell them. This is not the first time the companies have worked together. They have also jointly developed the iX5 Hydrogen, which was based on the X5 SUV from BMW, in addition to the 2019 Toyota Supra and BMW Z4 sports cars. Toyota has expensive experience with H2-powered passenger cars, having first rolled out its Mirai sedan eight years ago, a car that is now in its second generation. They can be refueled in only a handful of minutes and have a respectable range. That said, they are struggling to take off in the United States as the majority of the public H2 refueling station netwo

France's Faurecia said its project to develop a new generations of hydrogen tanks was granted 213 million euros ($209 million) of support from the European Commission as part of the Hydrogen IPCEI programme. Faurecia's "Historhy Next" project aims to develop new generations of hydrogen tanks, both gaseous and liquid, by the end of 2027, it said in a statement. Faurecia, part of the Forvia group formed after its merger with German car parts company Hella, added that production would start in 2024 at its Allenjoie plant in France's Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, with a goal of producing more than 100,000 units per year. Symbio, a joint-venture between Faurecia and Michelin also has a hydrogen project waiting for European Commission approval, Faurecia said in a statement. Source:nasdaq

This is a significant moment in On’s journey to move away from petroleum-based resources by creating a new foam material called CleanCloud™, made using carbon emissions as a raw material. Combination of Innovative Technologies: On is the first company in the footwear industry to explore carbon emissions as a primary raw material for a shoe’s midsole, specifically EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) foam, that could also be used in other shoe parts and products in the future. “Holding the first-ever shoe made of carbon emissions in my hands is a huge milestone – not only for On, but for the whole sports industry”, explains Caspar Coppetti, co-founder and executive co-chairman of On. “Five years ago, this was barely a dream. Imagine what can happen in the future as we unlock the potential of alternative carbon sources with further research and in collaboration with the best partners.” CleanCloud™ is the result of a pioneering supply chain partnership with some of the most innovative companies i

Global sustainable mobility leader, Alstom, has achieved a new milestone in its zero-emission long distance transportation as its Coradia iLint train crossed 1,175 kilometers without having to refuel its hydrogen tank. The distance allowed the train to travel nearly the length of the United Kingdom without refueling. The Coradia iLint was able to travel the distance on a full hydrogen tank without having to refuel. The only emission it released along the way was water, and it operated at a strikingly low noise level. The locomotive is from the LNVG (Landesnahverkehrsgesellschaft Niedersachsen) and Lower Saxony transport authority fleet. It has been operating on the regular evb (Eisenbahnen und Verkehrsbetriebe Elbe-Weser GmbH) passenger network since last August. Alstom partnered with the Linde gas and engineering project for the purposes of this project. The single hydrogen tank brought the train from Lower Saxony to Munich. The H2-powered Coradia iLint began its route in Bremervörde
