Die EU plant ein mögliches Verbot von Carbonfaser in Autos – ein Material, das leichter als Aluminium und stärker als Stahl ist. Warum es plötzlich als gefährlich gilt und was das für Hersteller wie McLaren oder Zulieferer wie Toray bedeutet, erfährst du in diesem Video.

Wir schauen uns an, welche wirtschaftlichen und technischen Folgen das Verbot haben könnte, warum Carbonfaser besonders für Elektroautos wichtig ist und welche Firmen besonders betroffen wären. Die Preise für Carbonfaserprodukte lagen 2024 bei rund 5,5 Milliarden Euro und könnten bis 2035 auf etwa 16 Milliarden Euro steigen – doch das könnte sich jetzt ändern.

00:00Welcome to the video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog.

00:03Today we're talking about a topic that's making the automotive industry very nervous.

00:07The European Union may want to ban carbon fiber in cars.

00:12It sounds unbelievable, but it's not.

00:16Although carbon fiber is lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel,

00:20a current draft for revising the EU's End-of-Life Vehicles Directive

00:24classifies the material as hazardous for the first time worldwide.

00:30Until now, materials such as lead, mercury, cardmium, and hexavalent chromium

00:35were considered hazardous, but were still permitted in the automotive sector through exemptions.

00:41Now the tide could turn, and carbon fiber is at the center of the discussion.

00:46The draft comes from the European Parliament, which shapes EU legislation,

00:51and aims to make the recycling and dismantling of vehicles more environmentally friendly.

00:56And despite its advantages, carbon fiber seems destined to be left out of the picture in the

01:02future. Today, carbon fiber is used not only in the aviation industry, but also in wind turbines,

01:09motorcycles, and, of course, in cars, especially in expensive, high-performance models.

01:15The reason is obvious. It is extremely light and yet particularly strong.

01:19Their disadvantage. Manufacturing is complex and expensive. Nevertheless, for many manufacturers,

01:25the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Especially in electric cars, which are significantly

01:31heavier than vehicles with combustion engines due to their large battery packs, the use of carbon

01:36fiber helps reduce weight and thus improve range and handling. Two factors that are particularly

01:42crucial in the premium segment. The fact that the EU now classifies carbon fiber as hazardous is due

01:49to an aspect that has received little attention so far. If carbon fiber bonded with resin is

01:54disposed of, fine filaments can be released into the air. These not only cause short circuits in machines,

02:01but also irritate human skin and mucous membranes. This makes the material problematic from the EU's

02:07perspective. If the ban actually comes into effect, it will hit three Japanese companies particularly hard.

02:14Tor Industries, Taigijin, and Mitsubishi Chemical. They dominate the global market with a total of 54%.

02:23For Torre alone, cars are the third largest business segment after aircraft and wind turbines,

02:29and half of this is produced in Europe. The economic damage would be correspondingly significant.

02:35Many European manufacturers, such as McLaren, whose entire super sports car chassis are made of carbon,

02:41would also be affected. Currently, the automotive industry accounts for 10-20% of the global carbon

02:48fiber market, and this trend is expected to rise sharply, particularly due to the boom in electric

02:53vehicles. The global market volume for carbon fiber was approximately 5.5 billion euros in 2024.

03:01According to forecasts by the US analysis firm Roots Analysis, it is expected to grow to around 16

03:07billion euros by 2035, representing an average annual growth rate of 11%.

03:14A potential EU ban would significantly slow this trend. The good news is that if the ban does come into

03:21effect, it will not come into force until 2029 at the earliest. This leaves manufacturers some time to

03:28adapt, but it is not much, especially given the long development cycles of modern vehicles.

03:36By comparison, the global situation has changed drastically in less than four months since Donald

03:41Trump returned to office as the 47th US President.

03:47The introduction of a 25% import tariff on imported cars on April 2 alone has shaken global markets.

03:54Here, too, nothing has been finalized yet, as many countries want to negotiate this measure with the

04:02US government. Perhaps the planned carbon fiber ban in Europe will ultimately remain only a draft.

04:10Unless, of course, you're part of the management of one of the affected Japanese companies or McLaren.

04:16As always, you'll find the link to read the article in our magazine in the video description.
