Carbon fibres can be used in various parts of vehicle.

The carbon fibre reinforced composites are used in bumpers due to its improvement in strength and appreciable reduction in weight and size of frame. Beside Bumper's manufacturing, the composite materials also provide a wide range of other potential automotive applications such as body panels, suspension, steering, brakes and other accessories. Apart from body panels, other automotive application of composites include instrument panels, leaf springs, drive shafts, fuel tanks, cross wheel beam, intake manifold.

The bonding of carbon fibres to the vehicle roof structure of passenger car increases the strength to weight ratio by two times. Meanwhile, the usage of carbon fibre in additive manufacturing can improve material

properties and reduce the required manufacturing time . The use of carbon fibre composites for dual purposes other than just being used to improve the crash worthiness of vehicles must be explored.

Its amenability enables to provide more stylish look on the exterior. The composite automotive lower arm had two times higher stiffness and buckling strength compared to conventional steel lower arm while having 50% less weight .

Carbon fibre especially for body coverings and structures composite materials can reduce car quality by more than 30%.

Does Carbon Fiber Make Your Car Faster?

Carbon fiber materials can make your car faster because of its strength-to-weight-ratio: carbon fiber has the highest strength and stiffness per density of any material, including metal. This makes it ideal for high-performance, track-focused vehicles where every pound shed can potentially increase acceleration and top speed.

Are Carbon Fiber Cars Safe?

Yes. Carbon fiber is a stronger material than steel, even though it’s significantly lighter. In the auto world, carbon fiber is ideal because it lowers the vehicle’s weight while still being able to withstand the stresses of racing at high speeds.  In fact, energy.gov claims that “carbon-fiber composites could reduce passenger car weight by 50 percent and improve fuel efficiency by about 35 percent without compromising performance or safety.” In other words, the use of carbon fiber and carbon-fiber composite materials in cars is all upside.
