Active seat belt systems consist of electrically driven active retractors, pretensioners,and buckle lifters. The pretensioner tightens or loosens the belt slack as per the road situation. During a hazardous road traffic situation, such as a sudden application of the

brakes or the vehicle skidding, the pretensioner in the active seat belt system tightens the seat belt to fix the driver and the occupants in a safe seating position. The pretensioner thus also alerts the driver to the potentially hazardous situation. At the

same time if the driver actively maneuvers the vehicle avoiding the road accident, the active belt system then loosens the webbing to offer comfort to the driver. The same is done for the other occupants of the car (cars where the rear seat are also equipped with active seat belt system).

Active aerodynamics employs self-adjusting spoilers, open and shut vents, and inmotion height adjustments to keep vehicle firmly ground on the road.The automotive aerodynamics basically deal with two prominent forces that interact with vehicle, downforce and drag. The proper management of these two forces is crucial for the performance of a vehicle.

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 efficiency and effectiveness of lubricants as it will reduce the maintenance cost of machines and equipment and increase their lifespan.

The global anti-counterfeit packaging market will witness a significant growth during the forecast period. Most companies in the F&B, pharmaceutical, and automotive industries are adopting traceability and authentication systems to ensure the original quality and consistency of their products. Since food products are directly related to consumer health, they need to reach the consumer in a fresh and consumable form.Counterfeit food products can cause many food-borne diseases, which can even result in the death of the consumer. The government in many nations has made it mandatory for manufacturers and retailers to install traceability and authentication systems in order to deliver authentic products to consumers.In addition, the introduction of new devices for traceability and authentication is leading to intense competition in the global anti-counterfeit packaging market. In developed countries, the adoption rate of these systems and solutions is increasing as a result of rapid growth of different industries, which has necessitated effective tracking and

tracing of products. Some countries in APAC will witness increased use of these traceability and authentication systems, specifically in the retail sector, during the forecast period.

EGR systems are mainly used for recirculating a portion of exhaust gases back into the combustion chambers to dilute the levels of oxygen and reduce the formation of NOx.This system has been in use in all commercial diesel vehicles due to early implementation of emission regulations. Rising stringency of emission regulations is likely to bring more developments to the EGR system, wherein OEMs equip variable EGR systems that operate according to the varying engine loads and cooled EGR to improve performance further and reduce the formation of hydrocarbons.

The popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) as a greener option to curb environmental pollution has shot up in recent times. There has been a shift in public perception from disapproving electric vehicles as costly and inferior in terms of quality such as power, efficiency, and comfort to a more viable option for transportation. Electric cars are powered by electric motors, unlike the internal combustion (IC) engines that run on gasoline or diesel. The electric vehicle gets the energy stored in its batteries, which are rechargeable. Earlier during its launch, electrical vehicles were not widely adopted because of the low driving range and the need to recharge again. The charging stations were slow charging points, which used to take multiple hours to charge the battery.

Since the introduction of lithium-ion (Li-ion) in the early 1990s by Sony, Li-ion batteries have outclassed and outperformed nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries with its higher energy density and higher operating voltage. It is extensively being used in portable devices, powering EVs and being used in the grid for energy storage. They have been experiencing incremental improvement in performance with improvements in their energy density over the past 20 years. However, the demand for batteries that can store higher energy and can also last longer has increased over the years. This is due to the increased application in EVs and for energy storage in smart grids. This has led to the need and development of different electrodes and materials, which enable the development of the next-generation batteries such as Li-S, lithium solid-state, and lithium-air batteries. These batteries are similar to current generation batteries but can store a higher amount of energy when compared with Li-ion batteries. These are also safer. Many countries are investing heavily in R&D initiatives to improve the efficiency and operations of their next-generation batteries.

During the forecast period, OEMs are expected to focus on reducing manufacturing costs of plug-in hybrids and electric cars by enhancing operational efficiency and reducing raw material costs.Automotive OEMs will work in collaboration with suppliers to improve their

profitability.There has been an increase in government support and investments by OEMs in the field of fuel-cell technology.This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the automotive industry in Turkey for the period 2016-2020.

Many manufacturing companies need product lifecycle management (PLM) software as it deals with various functional levels of an organization such as design engineering, product designing, and manufacturing. The need for managing a product during the manufacturing process has led to the emergence of PLM software and services. The growing product complexity and increase in product portfolio across organizations have led to increased demand for a system that can offer solutions to the production process across industries. The implementation of PLM in an organization provides higher revenue, reduces cost, and increases capital efficiency.
