Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are laminated composites, vehicle parts including the same, and methods of manufacturing the same. The laminated composite may include a pair of metal sheets, and a polymer (e.g., conductive or non-conductive) disposed between the pair of the metal sheets. The laminated composite includes one or more connection parts where the pair of the metal sheets are directly connected or welded along the length direction and that do not comprise the polymer.
