In the contemporary automotive industry, the imperative focus on energy efficiency has driven the central role of lightweight, addressing challenges such as emissions reduction and fuel efficiency. Extensive research is underway to develop lightweight materials enhance recyclability, integration feasibility, and overall fuel efficiency These experiments were conducted in agreement with ASTM D638, ASTM D790-03, and ASTM D790 standards to ensure adherence to industry standards and facilitate meaningful comparisons. For the tensile test, specimens of both materials, carefully prepared to standardized dimensions. The specimens were subjected to increasing loads until failure. The maximum load (W) applied was meticulously recorded, enabling the calculation of the ultimate tensile strength (σ) resulting in a value of 389.26 N/mm² for both carbon fibre and E-glass fibre. Impact testing, conducted following ASTM D790-03 Standard, involved precise measurement of the initial energy on the scale (300 J) and the residual energy post-testing (28 J). The absorbed energy, a critical indicator of material resilience, was calculated as 272 J for both materials. The results of the tensile and impact tests underscore the comparable mechanical performance of carbon fibre and E-glass fibre, highlighting their resilience and suitability for diverse engineering applications. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the mechanical properties of these materials, facilitating informed material selection and design decisions in engineering practice.

Keywords: Lightweighting, carbon fibre, E-glass fibre, ultimate tensile strength, material resilience, Energy efficiency, mechanical properties, engineering applications.
