Dallara produces most of the carbon fiber standard parts, but according to
http://www.speedweek.de/art_20381.html and
http://forum.dtm.com/viewtopic.php?p=145746#p145746 the monocoque is produced by
Gerg/
KLK Motorsport.
In
http://www.dtm.com/en/News/DTM-2012-...-standard.html Christian Schacht from DMSB stresses the German origin of the carbon fibre monocoque.

“The new monocoque that will be used by all manufacturers next year is a quantum leap in terms of safety. The carbonfibre crash absorbers are protecting the drivers and absorb a major part of the energy after an impact. Thus, the drivers are prone to less acceleration forces in case of an accident. Moreover, the fuel cell is surrounded by a huge amount of carbonfibre. DEKRA has accompanied the process with its great knowledge. Absolute safety is wishful thinking, but with this concept, safety was enhanced further while reducing costs at the same time. The carbonfibre used by the manufacturers in the DTM is being produced in Germany. This has significantly strengthened this branch of industry in Germany.”
