在汽車制造商寶馬AG的萊比錫車身車間，寶馬i3在生命周期內(nèi)考慮乘客安全保護的碳纖維復(fù)合材料構(gòu)件RTM被引入自動優(yōu)化裝配流水線中。作為第一個有著碳纖維結(jié)構(gòu)件的汽車，i3是領(lǐng)先用復(fù)合材料頂板及使用再生碳纖維增強的其他部件。電池電動汽車，帶著時尚的后鉸鏈的“教練門”，在2013年底在歐洲銷售和北美的汽車買家在2014年的春季。但是汽車制造商，包括寶馬，現(xiàn)在都看好”多材料汽車應(yīng)用”，它將滿足輕量化帶來的挑戰(zhàn)！

In automaker BMW AG’s Leipzig Body Shop, the BMW i3’s RTM’d carbon fiber composite components for its Life Module passenger protection cell are brought together in a robotically optimized assembly process. The first production car built with structural carbon composites, the i3 also pioneers the use of a composite roof and other parts reinforced with recycled carbon fiber. The battery electric vehicle, complete with stylish rear-hinged “coach doors,” went on sale in Europe in late 2013 and North American car buyers had their first look in spring 2014. But automakers, including BMW now look to the "multi-material vehicle" to meet the lightweighting challenges
