A Geelong company has won the contract to develop and supply carbon-fibre wheels for a hot new Mustang.
With the help of the Geelong Region Innovation and Investment Fund, Carbon Revolution developed the wheels ave been chosen by Ford USA for its new Shelby Mustang GT35OR.
World-beating, these highly-engineered one-piece wheels represent the cutting edge in design and manufacturing with composite materials. They have weight savings of up to 50% over aluminium in an area of a vehicle where weight is the most critical.
Carbon Revolution pioneered the commercial production of carbon fibre wheels made from a single piece of material and has previously sold these wheels in the auto aftermarket to owners of prestigious vehicles such Lamborghini and Porsche.
A privately-owned company originally formed by graduate students from Deakin University, Carbon Revolution has a number of formal partnerships for technology development and product testing around the world, as well as links with RMIT University, and with Deakin.
