Extensive Product & Process Improvement Initiatives

Next-Gen NVH

Hollow Wheel — a quieter cabin starts here.

A hollow-section wheel cast with embedded sand cores creates acoustic and vibration-damping chambers within the wheel itself — shifting resonance away from cabin-audible frequencies and reducing what road and tyre noise can transmit to the chassis.

Part-level FEA in progress to characterise frequency-response improvements vs. conventional cast wheels.

Under R&D

Vibration Absorption

Hollow chambers act as cavities that absorb and dissipate vibrations generated by tyre-and-road contact — reducing what reaches the hub and ultimately the cabin floor.

Cabin-Noise Reduction

The hollow geometry dampens specific frequencies that contribute to in-cabin acoustic load — shifting wheel resonance away from the human-audible range.

Sand-Core LPDC Construction

As-cast sand-core hollow section embedded within standard LPDC tooling — a Ø9mm sand-core print opening allows post-cast removal without compromising structural integrity.

Engineering Roadmap

A decade of what's next.

Publicly committed milestones from 2026 to 2035 — from in-house crash validation and hollow-wheel NVH to green aluminium, three-piece architecture, robotic shop-floor automation and carbon-footprint reduction.
