An industrial shredder can shred all kinds of materials such as tires, car wrecks, metals, plastics, wood, and garbage. However, the shredding process depends on the machine's design and size. Shredders are available in numerous sizes and designs. Design variations include horizontal hammer mills, vertical hammer mills, and slow speed and shear-type shredders of single, dual, triple, and quad shaft design. It also includes shaft grinders of single or dual-shaft design, knife hogs, granulators, raspers, flails, mawlers, cracker mills, and refining mills.

Lubricants play a vital role in sectors such as automotive, manufacturing, aviation, and marine. They are used in both new and old machines and equipment to reduce friction, which increases with time because of wear and tear of surfaces. Manufacturers are focusing on methods to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of lubricants as it will reduce the maintenance cost on machines and equipment and increase their lifespan.

A wiring harness is a set of wires, terminals, and connectors, which runs throughout the system that they are incorporated into. It is mainly used to relay power and communication and is the major part for the connectivity of various devices in the system. Wiring harness minimizes the complexity in connecting devices, which is finding high adoption in the automotive industry owing to the increased incorporation of electronics.

Baby car seats are baby-convenient products that are mainly used during traveling in cars. They have foam padding, fabric covers, and a harness, and are used to protect a baby’s head from jerking forward during sudden braking or accidents. These products are available in different varieties depending on the weight and age of the babies. The products are not supposed to be used for more than six years and required to be periodically examined by manufacturers. Higher concern regarding child safety and the growing preference for convenience while traveling is primarily driving the market.

The global four-wheeler industry is two-pronged: one segment includes passenger cars considered for personal use, and the other segment includes commercial vehicles. These segments operate under varying market dynamics with different customer behavior and value chains. The passenger cars segment is seeing steady growth owing to growing preference for personal use vehicles among families and individuals worldwide. The commercial vehicle segment is seeing healthy growth rates and high volumes contributed by countries such as the US and China. The key reasons for such growth are the higher load-bearing capacity and comfort of these vehicles. The global four-wheeler industry is highly capital-intensive and is likely to see many technological innovations over the forecast period. We expect the global four-wheeler market to grow at a CAGR of 3.68% during the forecast period.

This software is responsible for all interactions between application software and hardware. It provides the basic functionalities of a computer system. It is again divided into operating system and device drivers. The operating system is the heart of any system as it facilitates the interaction of hardware and other software. The device driver is a middleware through which the operating system recognizes any hardware or device.

An automotive retractable roof top (ARRT) is defined as a convertible roof system, wherein the vehicle's roof can either be folded in step or part, resulting in vehicles with open roof tops. The retractable hard top of the vehicle can either be operated manually or electronically, which makes the car known as a convertible in the automotive industry. The automotive roof designs vary between each automaker, wherein the manufacturers use a different kind of material for making the convertible roofs.

The automotive industry is one of the most competitive industries in the world. Though the industry witnessed a decline in demand during the global economic crisis of 2008- 2009, it has shown positive growth in recent years primarily because of the demand from developing nations. With the automotive industry gradually moving toward standardization and globalization, large automotive companies have shifted their production bases from developed to developing regions. This along with the rise in demand for high performance has led to the increased production of vehicles with high engine power.

Modern vehicles are equipped with intelligent personal assistant systems to assess the vehicles' condition, avert potential hazards during driving, alert drivers proactively in the case of imminent dangers, estimate drivers' workload and driving patterns, and perform various other tasks. Automotive personal assistant systems perform these tasks based on inputs from multiple electronic components and associated systems deployed in the vehicles.

NFC is a wireless communication technology that enables data transfer between devices within a distance of 4-10 cm. One of the most popular NFC-enabled devices is the smartphone, which can communicate with another NFC-enabled device at a proximity of 4 cm. The technology also does not require internet or telecom networks for communication, and hence it is unlikely to bear a subscription cost and possibility of a malfunction due to poor or loss of connectivity. The most popular NFC-based connectivity application is the transaction through contactless payment cards (debit and credit cards that have NFC chips embedded in them).
