Motorsport composites on show at COP26

Teijin Group says that its composites used by the Envision Racing Formula E Team for all-electric-vehicle racing were displayed at climate summit COP26, taking place in Glasgow, Scotland.

This includes what is said to be the world’s first electric two-seater formula race car, incorporating Teijin’s Tenax carbon fiber.

The company says that it has also established long-term goals for internal net-zero emissions by fiscal 2050. The targets include reducing internal CO2 emissions by 30% and two-thirds of total supply-chain emissions by 15% as of 2030 compared to 2018 levels.
