我国乘用车市场是一个具有明显季节性消费特征的市场。所谓季节性，是指车市的销量随着季节的变化而呈现出高峰低谷的规律性周期变动趋势。正因为季节性的存在，所以仅从销量数据来判断车市表现的好坏，常常有失偏颇。因此，对于季节性规律的把握将有助于拨开数据的表象认清实质，正确评估当前车市的运行状况。此外，季节性消费规律的形成与消费群体的变化、消费者的购买习惯及购车时机的选择密不可分，对于这些规律的深入研究可以加深对购车群体的了解。

CNG is a low-carbon fuel for automobiles, and CNG-fuelled automobiles can be used as alternative fuel vehicles. Natural gas is an organic compound that is found deep within the earth, and it mainly consists of methane. In a CNG vehicle, natural gas is compressed and put into the vehicle through a gas dispenser. The CNG then runs through high-pressure cylinders and enters the engine compartment of the vehicle, which helps the vehicle start functioning. Although CNG is not the most pollution-free form of energy, vehicles that run on it produce relatively less harmful gases than vehicles that run on gasoline or diesel. The CO2 and non-methane hydrocarbon emissions of CNG vehicles are lower than those of conventional fuel vehicles by 25 percent and 50 percent, respectively.

Airbags are large inflatable rubber bags designed to fill with air upon activation to prevent vehicle occupants from pitching forward in the event of a collision. The main purpose of an airbag is to cushion the occupants during a crash. In addition, it provides protection to the body of an occupant when it hits another part of the automobile. Furthermore, airbags significantly contribute to decreasing human suffering, cost, and pollution.

An automotive wiring harness is the grouping of cables or wires in automobiles for the transfer of signals or electric power. It is also known as the wiring loom in automobiles. Electric wires are tied together with different components such as cable ties, electrical tapes, conduits, or a combination of these to form the wiring assembly. As a result, an automotive wiring harness is better safeguarded from the impact of vibrations than the individual electric wires in automobiles. Additionally, an automotive wiring harness is well protected from the effect of abrasions and moisture, which could result in a short circuit.

Automotive safety systems are designed to assist in all aspects of driving such as safety, drivability, and fuel economy. These systems are designed to reduce accidents by focusing on the major causes of collisions such as driver error, distractions, and drowsiness. Safety systems have several advantages such as they enhance traffic safety and efficiency of vehicle, decrease human suffering, financial cost, and pollution. Safety systems may operate in an advisory, semi-automatic or automatic way that can control driving and traffic safety and thus can help drivers avoid accidents. There are mainly two types of automotive safety systems: active safety systems and passive safety systems. The active safety systems helps in the prevention of a crash, while passive safety systems primarily refer to the components of the vehicle, such as seat belts, curtain airbags, and side airbags that help to protect passengers during a crash.

汽车外饰零件是汽车零部件中应用塑料材料最多的零件系统，主要包括保险杠、后视镜、灯、门把手、进气格栅、天窗等。现代轿车外饰件一般多采用注塑工艺成型，再进行喷漆或皮纹处理。作为喷漆件，为保证与车身颜色及漆面质量的一致，在选材时必须考虑喷涂系统，例如北美车身油漆多采用高温烘烤系统，外饰件选材时应考虑选择可耐高温烘烤的原料；作为皮纹件，在选材时须特别考虑原料的颜色及耐候性能是否满足设计要求。目前常用的外饰材料有PP(聚丙烯)、ABS(丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯塑料)、ASA(苯乙烯、丙烯腈和压克力橡胶共聚)、POM(聚甲醛)、PA(尼龙、聚酰胺)、PC(聚碳酸酯)、PE(聚乙烯)等，但具体到每一个零件所使用的材料又有所不同，以下针对具体的零部件系统介绍材料的选择和应用情况。
