KICKSTARTING THE WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF AUTOMOTIVE CARBON FIBER COMPOSITES
This report by the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) outlines a strategic framework to increase the adoption of carbon fiber composites in mainstream passenger vehicles to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency. Based on a November 2012 workshop with approximately 40 experts, the report proposes a 'parts-based approach' to avoid the risks of whole-vehicle redesign while scaling the supply chain. It identifies high-value parts for near-term adoption, analyzes the business case for these components, and recommends the creation of an Innovation Hub and a coordinated effort to develop lower-cost precursors to overcome material cost barriers.
