While legislators are demanding higher standards in emissions, vehicle safety, protection of pedestrian, customers are expending vehicles with improved comfort and driving qualities. Fuel economy and insurance costs have also become decisive criteria shopping the customer' s purchasing decisions. Markers of composites materials believe that auto vehicle mass reduction represent a decisive fact in fuel combustible. In the same time, cost price of new materials lead on lower price of automotive costs.
