Sustainability / Environment TenCaTe CeTeX ® roUnD engine BLoCk oF ConCepT Car 44 txtures | number 4 | winter Historic car make revived avions voisin, an historic French car make, is soon to take on a second lease of life. in a hangar on the Twente air base, work is in progress on a new, luxury concept car with this name. Design, sustainability and eco-efficiency are of paramount importance in this mobility concept – that’s also why TenCate Cetex® is one of the materials applied.
Visitors to the AutoRAI in April 2011 will probably see its first outing and be eyewitnesses to the revival of Avions Voisin. The hand-made Voisin A-JT is the brainchild of Mattthijs Meulenbelt and Frans Lievaart. These two Delft engineers are working on this jointly with the University of Twente, where they are responsible for the master class on automotive design. As an innovative Dutch car company, they are going to design and build hand-made cars for the executive sector. Heat resistant The bodywork of the prototype consists mainly of aluminium, which makes the car lighter and ensures fuel savings., The temperature in the engine compartment can rise considerably, so that’s why TenCate Cetex ® is used here. This material is durable and heat-resistant, and consists of a Nomex honeycomb core between two carbon layers. Every component is scrutinized for possibilities to save costs and fuel, and the ideas being developed in this respect are also interesting for the car industry as a whole. Applications have now been made for patents in a number of cases. The sale price will be around €75,000. The prototype in aluminium will be unveiled at the AutoRAI. revolutionary Gabriel Voisin was an aviation pioneer, who from 1919 applied his experiences and revolutionary ideas to cars. Until 1939 the company produced luxury cars. The design of the second-generation Voisin is taking careful account of the buyer’s wishes. Mass production is out of the question, so the A-JT is not a car for the multitude; it is distinctive – just like the TenCate materials it incorporates. • Concept car seeks to be distinctive and eco-efficient • TenCate Cetex ® is being applied in the first instance in engine compartment 45
