Axon Automotive was a British car manufacturer and car components manufacturer based in Northampton, Northamptonshire. The company is focused on design and material technologies.[2]
Axon unveiled its 100 mpgimp hatchback on 23 May 2008 at the Sexy Green Car Show at the Eden Project.[3] The new car, which was expected to be on sale in 2010,[4] has a claimed CO2 emission rate of less than 80 g/km.[3] The company used lightweight carbon fiber materials to improve fuel efficiency. The interior of the two-seater vehicle was made using recycled materials, such as jeans and pinstripe suits, which enhanced its environmental sustainability.[5]
The company also introduced its pre-production plug-in hybrid at the Milton Keynes Science Festival. The company planned to launch two variants of this lightweight city car.
