Traditional thermoset polymers cannot easily be melted down and repurposed, creating long-term environmental concerns.
Hoods, doors, roofs, and side panels are increasingly crafted from FRP to reduce weight without compromising safety.
Every kilogram matters in an electric vehicle. Heavier cars require larger batteries to achieve the same range, increasing cost and environmental impact. FRP addresses this challenge head-on. frp electromobiletech

The Fraunhofer LBF’s lightweight battery housing represents a benchmark for cost-effective FRP electromobility. Using a stress-equivalent sandwich design, the housing achieves the highest weight-specific mechanical properties while reducing material consumption. The mechanical properties were validated using finite element simulations during the design phase and tested under real conditions on a test bench according to ISO standards 12405-2 and 12405-3, demonstrating the practical viability of FRP solutions for mass production.
: FRP is used to create lightweight, fire-resistant battery housings that protect cells from impacts while providing thermal insulation. Heavier cars require larger batteries to achieve the

The German research project SMiLE (System-integrative multi-material lightweight construction for electromobility), involving industry partners including Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, BASF, and ThyssenKrupp, represents a concerted effort to develop innovative hybrid body structures for electric vehicles. The project aims to use both thermoplastic and thermoset FRP along with non-ferrous metals (aluminum and magnesium) to create functional overall bodies that enable the integration of new types of energy storage systems directly into the vehicle structure.
