In order to conserve natural resources and economize energy, weight reduction has been the main focus ofautomobile manufacturer in the present scenario. Weight reduction can be achieved primarily by introducing bettermaterial, design optimization and efficient manufacturing processes. The introduction of fiber reinforced plastics (FRP)material has made it possible to reduce the weight of spring without any reduction on load carrying capacity. Theachievement of weight reduction with adequate improvement of mechanical properties has made composite a very goodreplacement material for conventional steel. Selection of material is based on cost and strength of material. The papergives brief look on the suitability of composite leaf spring on vehicles and their advantages
