Improved fuel efficiency and reduced drag are the principal factors that drive use of composites for automotive applications. These arise mainly due to the lighter weight of composites that also provide the required strength to weight advantage for such applications.

Common applications are bus body shells, bumpers for passenger cars, hard tops for jeeps, sandwich panels for refrigerated containers, cabin shells for trucks where design flexibility, parts consolidation and corrosion resistance are also influential factors.

Fiberex WR series of woven roving and 605 series of spray up roving are used for products made by the hand lay-up and spray-up techniques for automotive applications.
