BMW to cooperate with Boeing on carbon fibre

  • Germany: 11 hours ago

German carmaker BMW has agreed to exchange information about making carbon fibre with US aircraft maker Boeing, Reuters has reported. The agreement aims to advance research for carbon fibre recycling and know-how about manufacturing and automation, BMW said. Carbon fibre is 30% lighter than aluminium and 50% lighter than steel, a crucial advantage to help cut vehicle weight and carbon dioxide emissions. Boeing's 787 Dreamliner is 50% made of carbon fibre material, and BMW plans to start selling vehicles with a carbon passenger cell late next year.
