    issues. To fulfill this problem the automobile industries are trying to make new vehicle which can provide high efficiency with low cost. The best way to increase the fuel efficiency is to reduce the weight of the automobile. The weight reduction can be achieved primarily by the introduction of better material, design optimization and better manufacturing processes. The achievement of weight reduction with adequate improvement of mechanical properties has made composite a very good replacement material for conventional steel.The automobile vehicles have number of parts which can be able to replace by composite material, but due to the improvement of mechanical properties of composite material. It has more elastic strength and high strength to weight ratio has compared with those of steel material. So, out of many components one of the components of automobile, the leaf spring which use for carried out the whole weight of the vehicle is best option for replacement of steel material by composite material.
