Many of our team members took the car or train to Hengelo in the eastern part of the Netherlands the past weeks. A lot of different team members have gained the experience of producing glass fibre and wooden moulds for some carbon fibre parts of our car. In cooperation with Groothuis BV. we were able to produce the third cockpit mould and the side pod moulds. Next to that also the steering, plenum, diffuser and fuel tank moulds were produced at Groothuis.

Every year the team produces many parts out of carbon fibre. These fibres fit well into our lightweight concept, but also allow for stiffer and more efficient designs. Using vacuum injection, we are able to produce all these parts in-house. The only parts we cannot produce ourselves completely are the moulds, which need to be air-tight. We are therefore very grateful to Groothuis for sharing their resources and expertise to enable the production of all these moulds.
