Carbon Revolution, a Tier 1 OEM supplier and leading manufacturer of lightweight carbon fiber wheels, has announced its first SUV wheel program launch for the 2024 Range Rover Sport SV. The company's 23-inch carbon fiber wheels, which are 41% lighter than conventional cast-alloy wheels, will be featured on the vehicle. This marks Carbon Revolution's expansion into the strategically important SUV segment.

The ultra-lightweight wheels save an average of 19.8lbs per wheel, totaling 78.5lbs for the set, while meeting rigorous durability and robustness standards. Production of these wheels commenced on the company's Mega-line earlier this year. Carbon Revolution is also focusing on the electric vehicle (EV) market, where their wheels can potentially increase vehicle range by 5%-10% if the weight reduction is reinvested in battery mass.

Additionally, Carbon Revolution has entered into a business combination agreement with Twin Ridge Capital Acquisition Corp., which is expected to result in the company becoming publicly listed on the Nasdaq in the United States.

First SUV Wheel Program Launch for Carbon Revolution, Currently in Production on its Mega-line

GEELONG, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Carbon Revolution Limited (“Carbon Revolution” or the “Company”), a Tier 1 OEM supplier and a leading global manufacturer of lightweight advanced technology carbon fiber wheels is pleased to announce that it will supply the carbon fiber wheels that are featured on the 2024 Range Rover Sport SV, revealed on May 31 by Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc (“JLR”).

This is Carbon Revolution’s first launch of a SUV carbon fiber wheel program, highlighting an expansion of the Company’s lightweight wheel technology into the strategically important SUV segment.

The Range Rover Sport SV can be specified with world-first ultra-lightweight 23-inch Carbon Fiber Wheels. These innovative one-piece wheels save an average of 19.8lbs per wheel – a total of 78.5lbs, or 41 per cent – compared with conventional 23-inch cast-alloy wheels, resulting in improvements to outright performance, handling and ride quality. While incredibly light, they are engineered and tested to the toughest durability and robustness standards – the same as Range Rover’s cast or forged alloy wheels.

Carbon Revolution CEO, Jake Dingle congratulated JLR on the vehicle.

“We are excited to be working with JLR on our latest wheel launch, our first ever SUV wheel, and we’re delighted to see Carbon Revolution’s wheel technology feature on such an iconic global nameplate as the Range Rover,” said Dingle.

Production of this 23-inch wheel commenced on the Mega-line early this year.

Carbon Revolution is also focused on further expanding its footprint in the rapidly growing market for electric vehicles (“EVs”). The Company’s wheels weigh up to 50% less than aluminum wheels, which can deliver up to 5%-10% increase to vehicle range, if associated weight reduction were to be reinvested in battery mass. The top end of range assumes further benefits derived from additional aerodynamic, noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), and structural enhancements.

Carbon Revolution’s wheels provide significant unsprung mass reductions which can greatly improve efficiency and reduce road noise while also helping leading global automakers to comply with the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) targets set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

As previously announced, Carbon Revolution Limited (“CBR”, “Carbon Revolution” or the “Company”) (ASX: CBR) and Twin Ridge Capital Acquisition Corp. (“Twin Ridge” or “TRCA”) (NYSE: TRCA) have entered into a definitive business combination agreement and accompanying scheme implementation deed (“SID”) that is expected to result in Carbon Revolution becoming publicly listed in the U.S. via a series of transactions, including a scheme of arrangement. Upon closing of the transactions, the ordinary shares and warrants of the merged company, Carbon Revolution Limited (formerly known as Poppetell Limited), a private limited company incorporated in Ireland with registered number 607450 (“MergeCo”), that will become the parent company of the Company and Twin Ridge, are expected to trade on the Nasdaq in the United States, and Carbon Revolution’s shares shall be delisted from the ASX.
