Improvement of the fuel efficiency of automobiles is a crucial challenge for achieving energy conservation and addressing environmental problems. Therefore, fiber reinforced plastic materials, primarily carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP), are garnering attention as materials for reducing the weight of car bodies and parts. Our company welcomes consultations on all sorts of analysis and testing.
