Applications
The benefits of Carbon Revolution’s lightweight wheels suit a variety of automotive and aerospace applications. The company has penetrated the performance market, 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.
Product Engineering
The Carbon Revolution engineering team has many years of experience with composite technology, with decades of collective experience in aerospace and automotive design.
Our engineers employ computer modelling tools to optimise the composite structures to very precise specifications, ensuring the wheels improve vehicle performance.
Testing
Carbon Revolution wheels are subjected to the toughest testing standards to ensure they are extremely durable and capable of being used in all conditions for the life of a vehicle, whether for commuting or on the track.
This includes impact testing, fatigue testing and real-world on-vehicle testing.
Manufacturing
Carbon Revolution has a state-of-the-art factory, purpose-built to manufacture the highest quality carbon fibre wheels at scale.
This facility has received ISO certification, allowing Carbon Revolution to become a Tier 1 supplier to the world’s leading automotive manufacturers. Since then, Carbon Revolution’s facility has achieved Ford Q1 Certification for meeting Ford’s stringent quality and performance requirements.
Using Industry 4.0 technology, the highly industrialised and automated production process has been iterated over the past 15 years to ensure outstanding quality and on-time delivery.
