RBT BioComposites

RBT just returned from and what a great event! Several cars with natural fibre flax composites were on display.

We are pleased to announce RBT BioComposites has made the list of Pre-Qualified Partners for the APMA’s 2.0! Looking forward to collaborating on Canada’s first zero emissions concept vehicle.

📸 Take a look behind the scenes of NASCAR’s all-new battery electric vehicle (BEV) prototype!

As a core feature of NASCAR’s IMPACT sustainability program, this race car is built with Bcomp’s high-performance flax-based reinforcement materials that boast a significantly reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional materials while improving safety.

This project marks a significant milestone for Bcomp in the US motorsports scene, driving innovation and setting new standards for sustainable lightweighting in racing and beyond.

NASCAR Unveils BEV Prototype Featuring Natural Fibre Bodywork The vehicle is the first major US motorsports project to feature Bcomp’s flax-based materials, offering high-performance and sustainability benefits.

We are often asked "What does flax look like?"

Flax is an incredibly versatile plant that has been used for centuries. It has been used for textiles, clothing, and flax oil. The excellent mechanical properties of flax make it a perfect renewable raw material for high-performance composites, too.

Based on the all-new 2024 Mustang Dark Horse street-legal performance car, the Mustang GT4 racer contains a Ford Coyote-based V-8 engine developed by Ford Performance and assembled by Ford in Dearborn, Michigan. Longtime Ford partner Multimatic will build every Mustang GT4.

The Mustang GT4 race car also features Multimatic DSSV dampers, a Holinger dog-ring gearbox, paddle shifters with pneumatic actuation, natural fiber body panels, as well as a unique aero package developed to meet GT4 category targets.

and were great to see. Multimatic is involved with the IMSA Series and has raced the Mazda RT24-P, Ford Mustang GT4, Mercedes AMG GTD and is involved with the Ford GT program.
