: Manufacturers used polymers to create complex, multi-functional parts—like battery housings with built-in cooling channels—that would be impossible to manufacture with metals. Top Trends and Technologies (2021)
Common fibers include Glass (GFRP) , Carbon (CFRP) , or Aramid (Kevlar) . The 2021 Turning Point: Why "Electromobiletech" Matters
Fiber-reinforced polymers, including Carbon Fiber (CFRP) and Glass Fiber (GFRP), became essential for high-performance electric platforms due to their unique properties: Weight Reduction : CFRP components can provide up to a 70% weight reduction
