Application of Carbon Fiber Composite Materials for Automotive Lightweighting

Abstract

The automobile industry is the first to form a typical representative of the global industry in modern industry, with the increase of the national emphasis on the environment, the automobile industry was regarded as an important energy consumption and one of the sources of environmental pollution, the policy of energy conservation and emission reduction requirements for the automobile industry are becoming stricter over the years, energy conservation and emission reduction has becomes the main direction of product optimization in the automobile industry in recent years. Due of a series of excellent properties such as light weight and high strength, composite materials have become the main material for the development of lightweight vehicles. With the development of material technology and the update and iteration of manufacturing technology, composite materials are currently popular being adopted in the automotive field.
