Applications

The benefits of Carbon Revolution’s lightweight wheels suit a variety of automotive and aerospace applications. The company has penetrated the performance market for passenger vehicles and SUVs, including motorsport, with lightweight wheels providing significant lap time improvements.

As a lightweight efficiency technology, Carbon Revolution wheels provide range extension benefits for EVs and the realisation of large diameter aerodynamic wheel designs that are less practical in aluminium due to weight limitations.

Significant weight savings, reduced fuel use and opportunities for greater wheel robustness and durability compared to aluminium wheels, make carbon fibre wheels suitable for aerospace applications, where lightweight composite wheels can be designed into future generation aircraft, or retrofitted to today’s commercial and military fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.
