Today automobile manufacturers are working hard to deliver vehicles with high performance and efficiency. As per research conducted, if we reduce the vehicle weight by 10-15%, the fuel efficiency will increase by 5-6%. Manufacturers can use magnesium-aluminum alloy and carbon fiber construction materials instead of iron and steel for weight reduction. Still, manufactures are researching and working to bring this idea into reality.
