| As a result of
increasing attention to environmental problems, to design clean car with lowest fuel
consumption has become a very important objective. To achieve the objective, car builders are making their serious efforts to develop the process to reduce car weight and fuel consumption by the use of CFRP for structural parts. So far CFRP has been an indispensable material for racing cars, F1 racing cars among others. Now there is a tendency to try to use the fiber for commercial, mass production cars in full scale in order to reduce production costs to a minimum practical level. |

Carbon Fibers are used also for CNG tanks for natural gas cars which are becoming
more and more popular now and for hydrogen tanks installed on fuel battery cars
which are regarded as the environment friendly favorite in future. |
