The European Union's issue with carbon fiber stems from the potential dangers of its disposal, Motor1 reports. The material consists of micrometer-thin carbon filaments bonded together with resin.

The material is certainly cutting edge, and expensive — carbon fiber accents on a BMW M5, for example, are a $3,000 option — but the process through which it is made is relatively straightforward.

The global carbon fiber market was worth $5.48 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to over $17 billion over the next decade. Vehicles currently account for up to 20 percent of carbon fiber ...

Never intended to be fully carbon-fiber, the ZR/10 project grew rapidly with their ambition, and Parsons is now involved in promoting Fiber Forged and ZRodz, which share a 27,000-square-foot facility.
