Axon Automotive was a British car manufacturer and car components manufacturer based in Northampton, Northamptonshire. The company was focused on design and material technologies.[2]

Axon unveiled its 100 miles per imperial gallon (2.8 L/100 km; 83 mpg‑US) 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. The first variant featured a small-bore gasoline engine; the second featured a hybrid powertrain that combined an electric motor with a small gasoline engine.[6]

Axon Automotive teamed up with Energy-Efficient Motorsport to modify a Caterham Seven Roadsport for a unique eco-friendly race organized by Shell in the UK. In this competition, drivers had to complete seven laps of a circuit within 40 minutes and maintain a speed of at least 15 mph. The main objective was to maximize fuel efficiency. By modifying this lightweight sports car – originally inspired by a Lotus design – the partnership exceeded its goal of achieving 100 miles per gallon.[7]

The company was dissolved on 17 November 2020.[1]
