Disclosed is a vehicular engine room manufacturing method wherein the engine room has excellent heat resistance and sound-absorbing characteristics, and scraps generated during the manufacturing process can be recycled. The vehicular engine room manufacturing method comprises the steps of: carding a thermoplastic fiber and a carbon fiber having a length of 10 to 150 mm and needle-punching the same, thereby forming a felt layer; applying heat and pressure to the felt layer, thereby forming a felt board; and applying heat to the felt board and shaping the same is formed in a desired shape.
