Carbon Fiber Decklid

This structural, Class A sandwich panel assembly is 60% lighter than the 3-piece stamped steel assembly it replaced, which helps offset the mass of the vehicle’s fuel-cell system for better vehicle range and lower operating costs. It was produced via vacuum bag / autoclave cure using one-sided carbon fiber tooling, which is 75% less costly than the aluminum benchmark.
