During the Desert XPrix qualifying in Saudi Arabia, Claudia Hürtgen (ABT Cupra XE) escaped uninjured from a massive accident. The niobium-reinforced chassis and roll caged played a key role in protecting the driver from the impact and remained intact.
Another key role of niobium technology is the sustainability aspect. The emissions during the fabrication of niobium products can be 60 times lower than other materials and, since it increases the properties of the steel, it also means that less material is required for the fabrication of end products, reducing considerably the carbon footprint during the entire chain, from production to lifecycle. A win-win solution for industries and environment.
