Abstract


This paper presents the design of an interior panel of a door for a small electric car intended for urban traffic. The design incorporates a display that replaces the mirror, the ambient light in the storage compartment is activated automatically by a proximity sensor, and the whole panel can be made entirely out of carbon fiber or in combination with plastic parts/components
