With an increase in the production and sales of vehicles worldwide, instances of car theft or hijacking are on the rise. Passenger car security products such as immobilizers, alarms, central locking systems, and RKE protect cars from theft or hijacking. These passenger car security products immediately alert the owner and the SOCs in cases of theft. Technologies such as RFID, RTLS, and GPS are used to track down stolen cars. For instance, General Motors' subsidiary, OnStar, provides car navigation systems, subscription-based communications, roadside assistance, and stolen vehicle assistance.

Air filters improve ignition, horsepower, and mileage of an automobile. They also improve air flow to the engine and the emission control system, enabling proper ignition of fuel. The production of air filters has gained momentum mainly because of the high demand in the aftermarket, as they need to be changed at regular intervals. Based on type, the air filters are segmented into cabin and intake air filters.

Automotive safety systems are designed to comply with the standards and regulations prescribed by government agencies and transport authorities worldwide. A whiplash protection system (WHIPS) is a passive safety system that is designed to protect passengers and drivers against neck and spine injuries. With growing safety concerns among consumers and increasing road fatalities, government agencies and organizations, such as Euro NCAP, US NCAP, and NHTSA, are mandating the inclusion of WHIPS in all new automobiles.

An electric motor is an electro-mechanical device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. Manual processes are converted to highly mechanized operations with the help of motors. Electric motors are used in a wide range of applications, from household devices to industrial machinery. Electric motors are segmented into different categories based on their output power or type. The most widely used electric motors are FHPs based on output power, and AC motors based on type of electric motor.

Car-sharing is a membership-based, self-service system that contains a network of stations and vehicles, and is an alternative to traditional car ownership for individuals and companies. In this system, vehicles are owned by a separate firm, an organization, or individuals and are shared by users for short period of time. Over the past three decades, car-sharing has grown from a basic service provided by popular organizations to a widely recognized Urban Transport industry. It is also quickly developing into a globalized industry providing many with transportation, land use, environmental, and social benefits.

A drivetrain is a group of components in a vehicle that delivers power to the driving wheels. There are three types of drivetrain: AWD, FWD, and RWD. Each drivetrain has two functions - first, to transmit power from the engine to the driving wheel and second, to vary the amount of torque.

Trucks are of several types: Light duty trucks, medium duty trucks, and heavy duty trucks. Heavy duty trucks, as the name implies, are used for heavy duty work, such as loading or pick-up and concrete mixer applications used in construction activities. These trucks have a GVWR of more than 26,000 lb. But, in terms of mileage and fuel emissions, the fuel economy of heavy duty trucks remains a concern among consumers and the governments in Europe. However, with the economic benefits of natural gas, the market will see a drift toward the usage of natural gaspowered trucks in the years to come.

HEVs combine two energy sources, mechanical (ICE) and electrical, to achieve better fuel economy and performance. These vehicles have a smaller gasoline engine than traditional vehicles. They use efficient technologies such as regenerative braking that charges the battery by converting kinetic energy into electric energy. Many HEVs have start-stop systems that shutdown the ICE when the vehicle is idle and restarts it whenever needed, thereby reducing idle emissions.

Intermodal transportation uses different modes of transportation to move goods from one place to another. Companies rely more on intermodal transportation for the shipment of automotive parts, consumer goods, and heavy vehicles. The main reasons for the increased use of intermodal transportation are improved efficiency, cost reduction, and environmental impact. According to the Intermodal Association of North America, there was a 33% increase in shipping by intermodal rail in 2010 from the previous year. Rail-road transportation is the most important and common mode of intermodal transportation for freight, and approximately 41% of the total intermodal freight is transported by this mode. It offers many advantages over other modes of transportation such as it is cost-efficient and easy to track, there are few idle periods, and it offers door-to-door delivery, a quicker delivery time, the safety of the cargo, and the ability to use different routes. The intermodal freight transportation industry is also introducing some major advances in technology such as ICT, computerized vehicle routing, active traffic management, and online freight exchange.

Automotive safety systems are designed and produced to comply with standards and regulations prescribed by government agencies and transport authorities across the world. Passive safety systems such as airbags and seatbelts are designed to protect passengers, drivers, and pedestrians during an accident. With growing safety concerns among consumers and increase in road fatalities, government agencies and organizations such Euro NCAP, US NCAP, and India NCAP are mandating the inclusion of airbags in all new automobiles.
