Advantages of using composite materials in automotive manufacture process

  • 1 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technical university of Kosice, Slovakia

Abstract

The advantages of using composite materials are currently manifested in various industries. This creates space for their even greater application in the automotive industry. Car manufacturers strive to constantly reduce the weight of the car, increasing its durability and safety at the same time. Car consumption and associated emissions are closely monitored. Composite materials therefore offer a range of properties that meet today’s automotive requirements to a large extent.
