Weight Reduction
• LFT has lower density vs. metal, but still meets
structural performance requirements
• Lightweighting helps meet sustainability goals
related to lower fuel consumption and extended
vehicle range
Design Flexibility
• Injection molding allows for complex geometries
and part consolidation
• Advanced modeling and computer-aided
engineering (CAE) tools for long fiber composites
help validate and optimize part design
