Stellantis is exploring making cars and trucks from paper, no joke. Well, the fact they are doing it is not a joke, but Stellantis may be looking like one. What's next? A biodegradable car made from corn starch? I wonder if it has a cigarette lighter? The euros love their smoke! :)

She’s a beaut. :LOL:
Citroen says the material weighs half as much as steel and is strong enough for an adult to stand on the roof.
But is it strong enough for urban protesters to jump on the roof?

How about the preferred weapon of protesters these days, the Molotov Cocktail. ;)

This sounds similar to how the Beechcraft Starship's construction with the exception of fiberglass. The fuselage is wound with carbon fiber. The honeycomb on those planes is 1.25" thick. My flight club took a tour of the Beechcraft plant back in the 80's when that plane was first introduced. That was pretty cool to see how strong that cardboard was. If the FAA certified the plane.

I don't see how this truck would be a whole lot different than the other fiberglass cars out there. They burn to the ground just like the boats burn to the waterline :LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO:

If you guys really want a laugh, I made the same post on another forum and every response was serious in support of making cars from paper mache! The first response was from a moderator quoting the article without posting any opinion. They are all jumping on my ass like I’m some kind of anti-progress Nazi!. I guess some people love the new crepe paper crap, and others love the old world classics. I am of the latter! :ROFLMAO:

It’s much more laid back here. Some of those people over there believe they know it all, but know nothing, and have adolescent hangovers.

Well, at least the cardboard whatever won’t conduct electricity (unless they add carbon threads) so the battery won’t hurt you or the first responders. But if it catches fire, JUST DON’T INHALE!!!

Yes!. I read that in the C9 they will add trash, er, uh, recycled cardboard to the body to not only make it better but also save the world! :ROFLMAO:

Why not?

East Germany produced the Trabant. A vehicle whose body was made of wood fiber, or cotton reinforced plastic (like Bakelite), sitting on top of a stamped sheet metal pan (like a VW Beetle).

It had like a 40 year run... largely unchanged.

Planned obsolescence...

The short battery life already assures that! ;)
