Abstract
Nowadays, natural fiber reinforced composites and their application in various components in the automotive industry are one of the important issues. They are also considered an important also considered an important alternative to classical materials such as metals. This case study highlights the importance of the automotive industry turning to sustainable materials and practices to address environmental issues and achieve sustainability goals. These findings contribute to the knowledge regarding the process of carbon emission reduction strategies in the automotive industry. In this study, composites were evaluated under static loading, creating similar conditions and loads, but adjusting the lamination process and performing tensile tests of each section. Since Ansys workbench ACP-(pre) results in different distortions while analyzing data, an Ansys ACP-(post) was used to obtain more accurate results. The results show that composite 2 (bamboo–sisal-jute) of the temporary lamination has the least deformation in the Z-direction and the smallest total value 33 mm and 13987 mm. This study shows that replacing conventional materials likecomposites of steel, aluminium, carbon fiber and glass fiber with Natural Fiber Reinforced Composites (NFRCs) can yield significant reductions in carbon emissions, with potential emission reductions of up to 21.92 times depending on the material replaced. This transition to NFRCs presents a promising strategy for achieving substantial environmental benefits in the automotive industry.
