Curb weight reduction scenario - light vehicles in North America 2013
This statistic represents the curb weight of a midsize light vehicle in North America as of 2013, by component. Furthermore, it compares a baseline scenario to the carbon * savings scenario. In the carbon * scenario, the body weighs pounds. The reductions were mainly caused by the use of carbon fiber BIW, a downsized engine and design improvements, according to the source.
