BIO-BASED MATERIALS FOR EXTERIOR APPLICATIONS – PROJECT BIOHYBRIDCAR

The objective of this work is to evaluate the possible uses of bio-based materials (natural fibres, matrix systems) and hybrid material concepts for sustainable mobility. In the first stage, this has been elaborated for a door frame and door panel of a Porsche Cayman GT 4 Clubsport (981) as a test vehicle. On this demonstrator vehicle, the material concepts optimised in the laboratory for selected components are intensively tested in practice in the VLN racing and their suitability for serial production of various exterior components will be analysed. The holistic view is divided into three main points: Technical evaluation (mechanics, vibration, semi-finished products, design, calculation) Ecology (LCA) Economy (supply chain, availability, production process, processability)
