There may be a ban on using carbon fiber in cars in European countries, if this proposal is implemented then it can be implemented by 2029.
Preparations are being made to ban carbon fiber in cars in European countries very soon, for which a proposal has been sent. If this proposal is passed, then European companies will have to stop using it in their cars. Let us tell you that it was mainly used in Formula 1 racing cars, but now it is being used in many sports cars and luxury cars as well. But now European countries have proposed to ban it, because it has been declared a dangerous substance, due to which a demand has been made to ban it.
It is used to reduce weight
Carbon fiber is often used to reduce the weight of cars. It was mainly used in Formula 1 racing cars so that the car could remain light and its speed could be maximum. But now it is being used by many vehicle manufacturing companies. However, it has been declared a “dangerous substance” which can cause skin rashes and can be harmful to health.
What is the reason for the ban?
The main reason for the ban on the use of carbon fiber is that it has been declared a dangerous substance. It can cause many health-related problems. It is also very harmful for the environment. It can also cause skin rashes. So it might be banned by 2029 because it cannot be recycled nor is it biodegradable. So it can prove to be dangerous in every way.
What is carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber is a strong and light material. It is also called graphite fiber and it is 5 times stronger than steel and twice as hard. It is very light in weight. Apart from this, it has the ability to bear high temperatures and it cannot be affected by chemicals. Therefore, at present, many great manufacturing companies have also started using it. Apart from this, it is used in making tennis and bicycle frames and in various types of structures and equipment.
By when can the proposal be implemented?
If the proposal to ban carbon fiber comes into effect, it can be implemented from 2019. If this happens, it may cause loss to the vehicle manufacturing companies because many vehicle manufacturing companies like Audi, BMW, Toyota, Tesla, Lamborghini and luxury car manufacturing companies like Mercedes Benz use this lightweight carbon fiber in their cars. After the ban, they will have to stop using it, due to which the carbon fiber manufacturing companies may also have to stop its production.
