BMW announced last week that its Megacity Vehicle will launch in markets in 2013<\/a>. The Megacity Vehicle will be a zero-emission urban vehicle and will use extensive amounts of carbon fiber to reduce weight. The German automaker also plans to use of carbon fiber across its lineup.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be the first manufacturer to take carbon fiber to effectively high volume,\u201d global sales head Ian Robertson said.<\/p>\n

He said that carbon fiber technology shows the promise for use outside the new Megacity and could help generate better economies of scale.<\/p>\n

BMW and SGL Group plan on building a $100 million carbon fiber manufacturing plant in Washington state to supply parts for its vehicles. The plant will produce carbon fiber and a plant in Germany will mold it into paneling for the Megacity vehicle.<\/p>\n
