EV Chassis and Body Structures: How Composites Are Reducing Vehicle Weight
The Global EV Composites Market is estimated at USD 2.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 5.1 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 17.1% from 2024 to 2029, as per the recent study by MarketsandMarkets™. The growth of electric vehicle (EV) composites is driven by several key factors, including the ability of lightweight materials like carbon fibre reinforced polymers and glass fibre reinforced plastics to reduce the weight of EV components by up to 50% compared to traditional materials, improving performance, energy efficiency, and driving range, providing moderate strength suitable for various applications like body panels, hoods, doors, and interior components, offering high strength-to-weight ratios that can absorb and dissipate energy during collisions to enhance passenger safety and provide corrosion resistance and fire protection for critical components. Specific thermal properties used for battery enclosures and insulation to maintain optimal operating temperatures, improving efficiency and lifespan, moldability enabling more aerodynamic shapes and complex designs that reduce air resistance and improve efficiency.
