This is something that I have taken in interest in, Carbon Fibre wheels developed here in Australia, with Carbon Revolution working in conjuction with Deakin University here in Geelong. This will be the next big thing in fuel economy. They are claiming something like a 7-8 % reduction in fuel consumption with these wheels. They will soon be building a factory here with production expected to reach 50,000 sets in its first year. They have had significant interest from a number of European manufacturers and look like being a success story. Good to see an Aussie company doing good. |
