Light weighting is not a new idea
Key Market Driver: Mass Reduction CALIFORNI Mass reduction is vital for car makers to avoid fuel efficiency or emissions legislated penalties

OEMs developing formal partnerships with CF players in order to drive costs of manufacturing CF components downwards JV partnership JDA JDA OEMs/ CF players are forming formal relationships in order to: Vertically integrate to jointly reduce component costs Ensure supply consistency, which is of utmost importance to auto OEMs Several OEMs have yet to form long-term partnerships with CF players Longstanding relationship
Business Drivers Light weighting CO2 regulations in EU, Japan Followed by Asia [China, S and SE Asia and Australia] CAFÉ regulations in US fleet average 54 mpg by 2025 Future CFC [carbon fiber comp] production capacity Concern by Auto OEM that potential demand far exceeds current and projected global supply New capacity is capital intensive All capacity is energy intensive Automotive supply chain CFC based design and part production capability
Risks/Risk mitigations Market/Demand Risk: Demand could be delayed for a variety of reasons including regulation peel back or delay, global economic downturn, unclear price/perf benefit Mitigation: Close collaboraton with Auto OEM. Staying close to decision makers Capital Risk: CF production is capital intensive...additional capacity requires high levels of capital infusion with ROI at risk. Also operation expenses linked to energy costs look for low cost energy geographies to locate CF production Mitigation: Demand guarantee or supply security agreements. Investment strategies in low energy cost locations Technical Risks: Efficient high volume CF composite production and part level cost/peformance. Mitigation: Technical focus Supply Chain Risks: ACN availability, Price of CAN Mitigation: Hedging
Summary Demand driven by Fuel Economy /CO2 emissions regulations which beget light weighting Current CFC capacity easily outstrips automotive market potential Intensive work globally to reduce the part level [piece price] cost of CFC Partnerships / Alignments forming e.g. Ford DowAksa CF capacity rationalization e.g. Toray Zoltek Risk identification and mitigation strategies
