I know there is a lot more to the engineering to a frame but on face value it almost looks like a design of frame meant for aluminium or steel as many carbon frames have wider sections to reinforce the frame and are a mould rather than tubes. I remember watching a video where a frame designer went on about how different a carbon frame design has to be compared to aluminium or steel. I don't know where the frame failed but would guess either chain stays, seat stays or as per normal for folding frames the hinge.
