Advantages of Monocoque Composite Fibreglass Bodies

• Very strong structure based on high roll-over test standards.
• No joints and no steel framing.
• No risk of de-lamination and premature deterioration.
• Non-corrosive materials ideal for vehicle operation in harsh conditions.
• Durability of material guarantees cost effective long-term vehicle operation.
• Moulded body construction provides stylish exterior.
• High quality moulds generate straight body surfaces.
• Materials enable easy maintenance.
• Easy and cost-effective to repair in case of damage.
• Core materials add to insulation of the vehicles.
• Superior vehicle body construction enhances life span and re-sale value.

Monocoque composite fibreglass vehicle bodies offer a wide range of benefits if proper construction methods are being followed and high standards of workmanship are being applied. If this is not the case, the disappointing result should not be blamed on fibreglass but on the lack of competence of the manufacturer.

The fact that even highly quality and safety conscious airplane manufacturers have started to use composites is testament to the superior qualities of fibreglass structures.
