Quotes

...We are at the first stage of this project and there is a long way to go, but we think our composite material shows real promise. "In the project, the scientists are planning to develop the composite material to enable it to be used to replace the car boot's metal flooring section - the wheel well - that holds the spare wheel. Volvo is investigating the possibility of fitting this wheel well component into prototype cars for testing purposes."
