CAB-TEC is a new type of automotive braking system for future Low Carbon Vehicle’s. The aim is to provide this emerging industry with a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to heavy metal componentry such as grey cast iron - the traditional material of choice for over 50 years. In future LCV’s, weight will be critical, where currently, car makers still have to fit cast iron rotors to their vehicles as no economically viable lightweight alternative exists. The weight burden does not merely extend to the rotors themselves [65kg for family saloon], it also forms part of the vehicle un-sprung weight. Unsprung weight reduction is highly beneficial for improving fuel economy and a key enabler that then allows the onward safe reduction of the sprung weight in modern vehicles, where any reduction has a positive effect on acceleration and cornering and also improves the ability of the suspension in maintaining tyre grip. The fuel savings from unsprung weight reduction are far more substantial than achieved by equivalent reductions to the car body. CAB-TEC is a 4 partner 1yr feasibility initiative, bringing together knowhow from the world of automotive friction materials, car brake system design, and the composites industry.

CAB-TEC 是一种面向未来低碳汽车的新型汽车制动系统，旨在为这一新兴行业提供一种轻质且经济高效的替代品，以替代重金属部件，例如灰口铸铁（传统汽车的首选材料）。未来 50 年内，轻型商用车的重量将变得至关重要，目前，汽车制造商仍然必须在其车辆上安装铸铁转子，因为不存在经济上可行的轻量化替代品，重量负担不仅仅会延伸到转子本身（家庭为 65 公斤）。轿车]，它也是车辆非簧载重量的一部分。非簧载重量的减少对于提高燃油经济性非常有益，并且是现代车辆簧上重量进一步安全减少的关键推动因素，任何减少都会产生积极的影响。减轻非簧载重量所带来的燃油节省远远超过 CAB-TEC 4 合作伙伴所实现的燃油节省。为期一年的可行性计划，汇集了汽车摩擦材料、汽车制动系统设计和复合材料行业的专业知识。
