Carbon fiber plays integral role in Polestar 1 development

One of the key components in creating a responsive and agile driving experience in the new Polestar 1 is the extensive use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). Producing an overall weight savings of more than 500lbs versus steel. Most of the main body panels are constructed from this high-tech and lightweight material, making it a core contributor to the dynamic handling of the Polestar 1.  The Polestar 1’s carbon fiber body represents the first time that the Volvo Car Group has explored carbon fiber construction – an example of how Polestar acts as a technology spearhead for the Group.
