According to relevant information, BMW will use CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) carbon fiber composite materials in its i3 production car in 2013, and its choice is a slightly lower grade industrial-grade CFRP material, and the cost can be controlled by traditional carbon fiber materials. About half of it.

CIC Consulting Chemical Industry Researcher Chang Yizhi pointed out that in order to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, the development of lightweight automobiles has become a trend in recent years. Carbon fiber composite materials have the characteristics of light weight, high tensile modulus, and high tensile strength. The application in automobiles is significantly better than other materials such as steel. It is expected that its application prospects in the automotive field will be very optimistic in the future.
It is reported that the demand for carbon fiber composite materials in the automotive field is growing rapidly, and many automotive foundries are already cooperating with carbon fiber manufacturers to develop usable automotive parts. For example, Evonik and Johnson Controls, Jacob Plastic and Toho Tenax jointly developed carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) lightweight materials; Toray and Daimler reached a joint agreement Research and development agreement to develop CFRP components for Mercedes-Benz, etc.
It is expected that the market capacity of carbon fiber composite materials will further expand with the growth of demand in the automotive field in the future. According to relevant data released by the American consulting company Frost & Sullivan, the compound annual growth rate of carbon fiber composite materials will reach 31.5% from 2010 to 2017. It is estimated that by 2017, the global automotive carbon fiber composite material market will grow to 7885 tons, and its sales will also increase from US$14.7 million in 2010 to US$95.5 million in 2017.
The "2011-2015 China New Material Industry Investment Analysis and Forecast Report" released by China Investment Consultants shows that as an automotive material, carbon fiber has the biggest advantage of light weight and high strength, and its weight is only 20%-30% of steel. , The hardness can reach more than 10 times that of steel. Therefore, carbon fiber materials have been favored by automobile manufacturers and have been widely used in automobile interior and exterior decoration.
