(Carlsbad, Calif., U.S.) has announced that the first of its parts for its solar electric vehicle (sEV) featuring a body in carbon (BinC) have been stamped from production tools commissioned at partner C.P.C.’s (Modena, Italy) manufacturing facility. Aptera revealed in 2022 the supply of carbon and glass fiber sheet molding compound (SMC) from C.P.C., which is being used to develop the six primary parts of the sustainable vehicle.

These production-intent vehicles will be equipped with production parts sourced from trusted supply chain partners and assembled using body structures from C.P.C. They will also undergo rigorous crash testing and validation to ensure safety and reliability.
