Resumo

Swiss sustainable lightweighting company, Bcomp, is now supplying its high-performance natural fiber technologies to HWA AG – development partner of Mercedes-AMG – for the new front bumpers on Mercedes-AMG GT4 race cars. Set to be phased in over the coming weeks, Bcomp's bodywork solutions will provide a sustainable alternative to the GT4’s existing carbon fiber panels, which is claimed to offer equivalent mechanical performance in stiffness and weight and improving safety.
