The use of plant fiber reinforced composite has continuously increased during recent years. Because it as more advantages such as low weight, low density, high strength, high stiffness, faster assembly, corrosion resistance, higher environmental friendly, reduced cost, biodegradable, low energy consumption, they are used as a material for various purpose such as aircraft, medical equipment’s, space vehicles, electronic equipment’s, and home applicants. When compared to that of the conventional composite it as more advantages. When compare to the glass fiber it as more advantages such as biodegradable, recyclability, renewability, so the usage of natural fiber was increased more. Thus the good quality, cost effectiveness, manufacturing of NFHRC become imperative. In the present contribution, the alkali treated Roselle and sisal fibers are fabricated and the mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, impact were determined based on the weight and length of the fibers, and the fiber of different weight proposition were also fabricated and characterized. The treated fiber as high mechanical properties when compared to the untreated fiber reinforced hybrid polyester composite. The positive hybrid effect was observed that the tensile, the flexural strength increased with fiber length and content. The negative hybrid effect is observed that the impact strength decrease with the fiber length and content. This result suggests that the correct and optimum weight %and length of treated Roselle and sisal fibers the expected mechanical properties can be achieved. By using the above result, the vehicle scoop was fabricated using natural fiber and the impact test was performed and it was compared with the glass fiber composite scoop.
