Mobility is essential for all human activities of business and familial works and hence transportation, specially, cars signifies personal freedom and status. Despite rising fuel and other costs and congestion on the roads demand of cars on developing and developed countries will not be subsiding, rather it is expected to grow as per automobile industry. Three main factors likely to contribute to research and development of automobile industry are reduction in cost and pollution and improvement in safety. Textile composites can play an important role for perseverance of environment by replacing heavier materials and significantly reducing weight of the vehicles and improving fuel efficiency. The scope of recycling the textile composites is also seen as most crucial aspect for textiles used in Mobiltech. Composites with directionally oriented long fibres, filaments and yarns for reinforcement are being welcomed in transportation industry since last decade due to potentially proven better performance of the low-mass structural components. Final benefits of use of textile composites have been for increasing fuel efficiency and reduction in emission of gases due to better strength - mass ratio, fatigue, reduction in cost, etc. Scope of producing net shaped 3D hollow textiles with weaving technology currently installed in Indian textile industry with special reference to the decentralised industry.
