It is imperative to reduce the weight of cars in the day
The energy saving and new energy vehicle industry development plan issued by the Chinese government stipulates that by 2020, the average fuel consumption of new cars will be reduced to 5 liters / 100 kilometers, and the energy consumption of energy-saving vehicles will be reduced to 4.5 liters / 100 kilometers. The major automotive manufacturers are aware that the key to the completion of this indicator is the lightweight of the car, the use of lighter parts and advanced materials in production, and is actively looking for solutions. At present, the global range of composite materials using only body weight less than 10%, to 2025, to reach 18% of the target to 20%, while the lightweight carbon fiber composite material into the China automobile market the biggest obstacle is that the rapid mass production techniques and the lack of professional skills and lack of knowledge. In addition, due to the lack of test and production equipment, domestic enterprises interested in mass production of carbon fiber products usually need to invest a large amount of money for research and development and testing, while the delivery of molds and materials to foreign countries will seriously delay the project development time.
In the international auto market, BMW, Porsche and other carbon fiber car market, driven and try to study the international automotive composite materials application.  Fraunhof Institute of chemical technology began the research and development of composite materials and molding technology 10 years ago.
