Abstract:
The article provides an overview of biocomposite
application in the automotives via a documentation of
their history, chronology and progressive steps taken
to break into the production lines of a number of key
auto makers. It offers a detailed analysis of the key
factors that have motivated the research and subse-
quent adoption of biocomposites; taking a peek at the
advantages, disadvantages, and challenges experi-
enced in the process. Auto makers and parts suppliers
that have been a force behind this campaign, have
also been accorded a fair share in the article. Future
projection of role of these materials in the industry;
with the ideas well dressed in form of bio concept cars
caps up the paper. Automotive refers to; passenger
cars, sport utility vehicles, vans, trucks, buses, and
recreational vehicles.
