The automobile industry is one of volume carbon emission businesses. And many fuel consumption rate regulations are enforced to prevent environmental pollution. Therefore many automobile companies focus to reduce the car weight for the fuel efficiency improvement. Through this project, the career which is one of car chassis parts will be researched to reduce the car weight by appling the carbon fiber which is called as super fiber.
