Learn how OEMs can make their parts better, faster, and more efficient.
What’s Driving Next-Gen Automotive Manufacturing?
The technologies behind high efficiency, quality, and performance
To design and produce high performance vehicles, manufacturers are leveraging state-of-the-art technologies ranging from carbon fiber wheels to state-of-the-art wind tunnel testing systems. Ford Motor Company’s 2024 Mustang Dark Horse embodies both technologies. Thanks to Rolling Road Wind Tunnel (RRWT) testing, the new performance car features improved aerodynamics and downforce. Its durable carbon fiber wheels, the product of Ford’s collaboration with supplier Carbon Revolution, are reported to weigh about 37 percent lighter, on average, than Dark Horse aluminum wheels.
