BAC and CBMM Prove Efficiency of the Use of Niobium in Supercar Use of niobium on the chassis of the new BAC Mono resulted in weight reduction and improvements in vehicle strength and safety SÃO PAULO, April 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The partnership between Briggs Automotive Company (BAC), a British pioneer in the manufacturing of single-seater supercars, and CBMM, a Brazilian company which is world leader in the production and commercialization of niobium products, anticipate an exclusive project for use of niobium in the structure of the new BAC Mono. The partnership promises to revolutionize the global automotive industry. The first proofs of concept carried out on the vehicle, which is high-performing, showed a weight reduction of 18%, exceeding the initial goal of a 15% decrease. "The use of metal alloys enriched with niobium in the car's chassis reduced the amount of material, allowing for a lighter car, with the possibility of reaching greater speed in less time, in addition to offering better braking efficiency and more safety. We are very satisfied with the results obtained.", explains Pablo Salazar, Head of Mobility at CBMM.
