“…To prevent a severe accident due to fuel leakage, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS 301) replaced Sheet steel by polymer composites to enhance properties such as high corrosion resistance, greater design flexibility, better safety, and lower cost. 149 Current scenario for the market and commercial sustainability Bio-based composites are recyclable, nonabrasive in nature, versatile, easily available in many forms, biodegradable, and compostable. Recently, biofibers have gained a lot of demand due to their economical production by requiring less number of equipment which results in a higher stiffness and specific strength as compared to synthetic fibers.…”

The uncertain climatic changes-related issues in the recent times has led an apprehension for all automotive makers to develop innovative composite materials to reduce vehicle’s fuel consumption. Hence, this review article has given special attention toward the factors that motivated several automakers to undergo research on biocomposites as it plays an important role for biodegradability and sustainability across the globe. In particular, cellulose nanofibers-reinforced composites are the main research focus in the current scenario which can be applied for different automotive applications with numerous advantages and abundant accessibility. Polypropylene (PP) is the emerging polymer in the automotive industry, and many researchers are now mainly focusing their research on PP-based composites which can serve as a boon for different environmental problems faced by the current scenario as depicted by Figure 1. It also reported the recent advancement on the development of innovative composite materials by different automakers with regard to finding suitable actions for reduction of fuel consumption to the recommended confines.

“…However, there are no mature research cases yet. Nevertheless, there has been more in-depth exploration regarding non-metal fuel tanks, with demonstrative applications in areas such as automotive and engineering machinery [8,9]. It has shown excellent advantages in reducing costs, reducing weight, improving endurance, and in reverse design, which provides a reference for the development and exploration of non-metallic HOTs.…”

With the increasing demand for lightweight construction machinery, it is of great significance to study non-metallic materials that can replace steel plates to make hydraulic oil tanks (HOTs). To explore the feasibility of making HOTs with three materials—cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), polypropylene (PP), and nylon (PA)—this paper takes 28 L and 115 L volumes commonly used in construction machinery, such as forklifts and loaders, as the design volume and obtains non-metal HOT products of good forming quality by regulating the process parameters. Based on the test methods and evaluation bases of the fuel tank in the national standard, the normal-temperature pressure test, high-temperature pressure test, and low-temperature impact test are designed according to the working conditions of the HOTs. Finally, the non-metallic HOT products are tested. The results show that the rotational molding of XLPE material is the easiest, and products of all sizes can be molded, but the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the products are poor. The low-temperature impact resistance of PP products is poor. PA material can be used to create small HOTs, and the product performance is excellent. This research serves as a valuable reference for the non-metallic and lightweight design of HOTs.
