In fact, the car prices in order to meet these needs and caught in the dilemma of embarrassment: part of the car prices focus on light (to reduce greenhouse gas emissions), the other part of the car prices Pay attention to the safety of vehicles (using heavier components, the practice of the former diametrically opposite).
A new generation of materials is expected to accelerate in 2018, making it lighter and safer for the purpose of meeting both tougher vehicle safety and carbon dioxide emissions regulations. Aluminum, high-strength steels, etc. Materials will become the standard material for vehicles, carbon fiber reinforced composites more strength and safety, the material is currently being used in sports cars, the future will begin to be applied to more other types of vehicles.The carbon fiber sheet by the hard Compiled layer composition, almost made of pure carbon fiber, the use of epoxy resin (epoxy resin) and other hardened plastic adhesive bonding.
As CFRP R & D spending increases, future costs will fall: the new materials are expensive.Goldman Sachs A recent study of cars in 2025 (Cars 2025) revealed that the current price ratio of carbon fiber reinforced composites 40 times more than ordinary steel, and there are many requirements for professional production skills and equipment.
However, many developers are working with European universities to develop new plastics and carbon fiber sheet materials.With the accelerated application of this material in conventional vehicles, the cost of high-strength steels and aluminum may be significantly reduced, eventually leading to the development of carbon fiber reinforced composites Costs will also fall as new production methods emerge.
