Weight reduction of car is now main issue in order to increase vehicle fuel efficiency. Among various lightweight materials, CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) is at the head because of superior stiffness and strength to weight ratio. A durability performance development process of CFRP vehicle was studied, and applied to fuel cell concept car Intrado (code name HED9) in order to check compatibility of the process. CFRP material was identified as a solution for satisfying weight lightening and performance of vehicle concurrently by comparing with general steel structure vehicle.
