Ford develops bamboo fiber materials to achieve its vehicle lightweighting goals.

  • 2017-09-28

Ford develops bamboo fiber material to achieve vehicle body lightweighting Ford Motor will work to find sustainable materials for automotive manufacturing, according to a news release earlier this month. Currently, Ford has begun evaluating the use of bamboo fiber to strengthen plastics and apply them to storage boxes or siding. Ford has been actively seeking and developing new application materials globally in recent years. Instead of the previous centralized procurement, which transports materials found from various places to a factory for R&D and manufacturing, Ford has introduced a low-carbon concept to produce locally produced sustainable materials in the shortest transportation distance at local manufacturing plants and supply them to assembly plants in the same region. By resorting to new forms of production and manufacturing models, Ford will help Ford improve the efficiency of automotive materials, reduce negative environmental impacts to regions with abundant and sustainable materials everywhere, and strengthen local social and economic benefits through Ford's supply chain. Bamboo fiber is not only a renewable resource, but also a better alternative to the fiberglass used by traditional industries to strengthen the strength of plastics. And compared to fiberglass, the weight is 15-20% lighter, therefore, for automakers, body lightweight is one of the key points for refining car performance. Not just automakers, but brands in other industries are beginning to require their supply chain manufacturers to meet international sustainability requirements, especially the sources of key raw materials. General Motors has committed to working with the tire industry to ensure that its tire raw materials come from sustainable sources. The apparel manufacturing industry focuses on building sustainable supply chains, such as Levi Strauss & Co. investing funds to assist supply chain innovation. These funds will be used primarily to expand the all-natural indigo dyeing plant, develop products with smaller water use intensity, and establish wastewater treatment programs to assist with wastewater problems in small art workshops. According to a recently released industry survey white paper by 3M, manufacturers and their suppliers are stakeholders in the value chain, and in order to strengthen a brand’s sustainability performance, suppliers must also jointly implement sustainability policies to strengthen the final sustainability performance of their products. Therefore, it calls on Taiwan, as an international supply chain species, to actively understand the concept of corporate sustainability and the core value of corporate social responsibility to increase international competitiveness in response to international market requirements for products and their supply chains.
