Traditional GRP is composed of high strength E-glass fibers impregnated with a variety of specialized proprietary resins. Impact   High strength and flexural fatigue resistance with minimal moisture absorption

They realized they might be able to shave off even more weight and improve performance by replacing the aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if they could find a material with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional rigidity, and superior fatigue strength. The Impact Finding ways to reduce weight is a high priority for vehicle manufacturers, because lighter weight corresponds to better fuel efficiency for gas-powered vehicles and more miles per charge for electric cars.

Here are some of the recent design trends that can increase part performance and its sustainability impact:  Lightweighting: Engineered polymer materials designed with a high strength-to-weight ratio, have similar structural integrity as traditional materials, but can be lighter in weight. While it can be a complex process, designing for sustainability can have a high environmental impact and bring value to eco-conscious consumers.
