Materials used to manufacture car body parts have changed significantly over the decades. Early vehicle bodies were mostly made of heavier steel materials but as time went on, the need for good fuel economy and speed brought about the introduction of lighter materials to reduce drag. Aluminium, stainless steel, Poly-Carbonate and ABS composite plastics are some of the materials used to make the body of modern cars due to their light, heat resistance and yet strong properties. These materials are used to create everything from those small things such as dashboard needles and wiring, to the big stuffs, such as the engine block or the transmission gears. Also some of these materials absorbs almost two times the crash energy than mild steel does. We’ll look into the materials used to manufacture the modern car and appreciate the ingenuity of the technology involved in it.
