<p>The demand for lightweight and eco-friendly materials in the automobile industry is setting the pace for researchers to look into developing natural fiber composites as an alternative to conventional synthetic composite materials. This review provides a comprehensive examination of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite tubes, focusing on their fabrication methods, constituent materials, and applications as energy absorbing devices in the automotive industry, thereby improving vehicle crashworthiness. While the traditional glass and carbon fibers composites offer superior mechanical properties, their environmental impact and cost encourage the researchers to explore greener solutions. Natural fibers, with their biodegradability and cost-effectiveness, offers a promising solution in the crashworthiness applications, especially when combined with synthetic fibers in hybrid composite form. The review highlights various fabrication techniques, such as filament winding, highlighted the benefits, limitations and suitability for producing high-quality composite tubes. Special emphasis is placed on the role of energy absorption, failure modes, and mechanical properties of both synthetic and natural fiber composites. Despite the promising performance of FRP composite tubes, challenges such as high manufacturing costs, recyclability issues, and energy-intensive processes remain. A knowledge gap remains in the area of hybrid composite tubes with optimized natural fiber mixing, especially in automated high-volume processes like filament winding. In addition, the crashworthiness performance of such biodegradable composites is largely unexplored, especially with respect to intra-yarn hybrid configurations. This review aims to encourage future research and industrial applications about development of greener and sustainable FRP composite tubes for the automotive sector.</p>
