The use of composites in automotive engineering has increased and is expected to further increase in the future not only because of the weight saving opportunities but also for other reasons like design freedom. Using composites requires in many cases the joining of components to form the ready part. Of course adhesive bonding has gained an important position. In order to fulfill the high requirements of the automotive industry in regard of strength, durability, crash performance, costs and the like all steps from development to production (composite selection, joint design, bonding process) require special attention. The purpose of this paper is to provide some fundamental information about bonding followed by the presentation of examples from the industry illustrating the benefits of bonding. Although the universal adhesive for all plastic applications will still remain an engineer's dream, adhesive solutions to join most plastics are already available and can be used to fulfill the high-quality requirements of the automotive industry and a further increasing use of plastics, both staple articles like PP and engineered plastics will not be hindered by the lack of a suitable joining technology.
