In 2018, the BMW i3 electric car used hemp fiber biocomposite in some parts, such as the door panels.

Porsche kicked off 2019 with the launch of the world's first racing car with a body produced from hemp fiber.

75%

According to the European Commission, 34,960 hectares of land were dedicated to hemp cultivation in the EU in 2019. This represents a 75% increase compared to the 19,970 hectares cultivated in 2015. Although the cultivation area has increased, it still represents only 0.02% of cultivated land in the EU.
