Steering the Future of Ground Transportation with Composites

Composites are fundamental in the development of the next generation of zero emission gound transportation vehicles. More to learn in this session.

They play a crucial role in enabling motors to spin faster and be more efficient; for hydrogen to be stored safely; for ships to harness natural sources of energy; and for safe, comfortable and reliable travel for passengers.
The session will present the most innovative solutions brought by Composite Materials, shaping the Future of Ground Transportation.
