In the present paper, the natural fiber materials that can be replaced to reduce the weight of the vehicle are analyzed by bubble charts of - and - , and the possibility of alternative application of materials is investigated. For this purpose, the driving energy and fuel efficiency of the vehicle using the data of K model analyzed. In addition, the effect of vehicle weight on fuel efficiency was analyzed through the dynamic analysis approach of the vehicle. From the research results, the following results were obtained. Most of natural fibers have lower density and equal tensile strength and strain than metal materials. Therefore, the application rate of natural fiber materials should be increased in consideration of the application purpose and material characteristics of the vehicle. The major variables that greatly influence driving energy and fuel efficiency were fuel efficiency improvement of about 10% in order of speed, rolling resistance and mass. In addition, when steel is lightened by 10%, fuel efficiency improvement of up to maximum 4.5% is shown in the order of CFRP, Al, Ti.
