  text: <jats:p>Abstract. Due to an increasing volume of shipments, there is a significant
    need for more delivery vehicles. One approach to reduce the associated increase
    in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is a new light weight design approach involving
    the substitution of conventional materials with glass fiber mat-reinforced thermoplastics
    (GMT) based on polypropylene (PP). The application of GMT by compression molding
    is a widely used process in the automotive industry. However, application in the
    commercial vehicle sector requires much larger dimensions, making it necessary
    to clarify whether the manufacturing process and material are suitable for semi-structural
    applications on this scale. To find this out, two replacement geometries are abstracted
    in this study and manufactured by varying the main manufacturing parameters. The
    feasibility can be demonstrated by recording and analyzing the resulting process
    variables and measuring the formed fiber distribution. At the end of the paper,
    recommendations are given for the production of GMT structures on the scale of
    commercial vehicles. </jats:p>
