Abstract: Based on the lightweight development requirements of a certain car model, an integrated carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) electric vehicle upper body was developed by performing structure design, CAE analysis and optimization and experimental verification. The results prove that, with reasonable structural design, CFRP is more suitable to be used as structural material in automotive applications. It can take significant effect of lightweight, and have potential development prospect in automotive field.
