Overview
Composites have long been used in autos and trucks, primarily under the hood and in interiors. High-performance have used carbon fiber for many years, and now new high-speed manufacturing technology is allowing carbon fiber to move into production vehicles.
Automotive CFRP: Repair or replace?
As more carbon composites are used on structural car components, how will crash damage be assessed and repairs be made?
