KBC’s first mass-produced carbon ceramic brake disc model equips GAC Aion’s Hyper SSR
KBC, the Chinese specialist of carbon-based composite materials and products, attended as a core supplier the GAC Aion Hyper SSR launch and delivery ceremony in China. According to the company, this is KBC’s first mass production project of carbon ceramic brake discs, and it is also the first mass-produced model in China equipped with carbon ceramic brake discs. It marks the end of China’s long-term dependence on imported carbon ceramic discs for high-end automobiles.
According to GAC Aion Hyper’s website, Hyper SSR uses 100% carbon fibre for the exterior body, and a large amount of carbon fibre materials are also used in the steering wheel, front interior panels and other parts.
As the representative of Hyper SSR supply chain, Wang Bingquan, the company’s senior vice president, said that the era of electrified supercars is an inevitable trend in the future, and Hyper SSR is a “mobile technology library.” In terms of new materials, the combination of carbon fibre composite body, carbon/ceramic brake discs, hot-melt tires and other new materials has not only greatly reduced the weight of the car body, but also greatly improved the vehicle performance. According to him, the Hyper brand will surely lead China’s supercars to the world stage.
