Abstract
The use of fibre reinforced plastics, including carbon fibre composites, continues strong in automotive applications. Reducing mass is growing in importance due to increased demand for more fuel-efficient and cleaner cars and trucks. Manufacturers have introduced niche vehicles with innovative styling that would not be economically feasible without the design flexibility and reduced tooling costs possible with composites. New materials and technologies have been developed to improve the surface quality and performance of moulded automotive components while lowering production costs. Richard Stewart reports.
