Abstract:

The possession of an automobile prior to the Second World War was still an elite phenomenon, and the number of registered automobiles was low. Europe was no exception, especially Austria. Unusually detailed numerical vehicle registration data nevertheless show the growing importance of motorists as a target for motor vehicle advertising and as objects of official statistics in the 1930s. The paper uses the information to examine the affordability of automobility at that period of transition, automobile sales strategies and the use made of cars by Austrians in different occupations.

Abstract:

Recent research has suggested that noise barriers have significant impacts on near-road automobile emissions reduction. T-shaped noise barriers have better performance on reducing noise than others, however, their effects on automobile emissions reduction are not clear. In this research, commercial software ANSYS®Fluent 19.2 (Ansys Inc., Canonsburg, PA, USA) was applied to simulate the noise barrier shape and different inflow wind shear condition effects on highway automobiles emission dispersion. Various Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models were tested. The realizable k-ε turbulence

Abstract:

The license agreement between the Italian Fiat and the Yugoslav Crvena Zastava, signed in 1954, was the first commercial arrangement and enterprise between a Western corporation and a socialist country in the post-war era. The Yugoslav side expected the establishment of the modern automobile industry to have a spin-off effect, helping to modernise the entire industrial sector. However, this ambitious plan failed to materialise, leaving the country with Western-type automobiles, which often fell below even East European quality standards. As it was linked to almost the entire industrial sector,

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are rapidly becoming the forerunners of vehicle technology. First electric vehicles were overlooked because of not having adequate battery capacity and because of low efficiency of their electric motors. Developing semiconductor and battery technologies increased the interest in the EVs. Nevertheless, current batteries still have insufficient capacity. As a result of this, vehicles must be recharged at short distances (approximately 150 km). Due to scheduled departure and arrival times EVs appear to be more suitable for city buses rather than regular automobiles. Thanks

The use of wrought magnesium for automobile structural components is an important component of the mass reduction strategy for automobiles to improve their fuel efficiency.

This TRC route can substantially reduce the time and cost to produce Mg alloy sheet product.

Abstract:

This historical review of casting methods used to produce sheets of steel for automobiles, household products, rocket bodies, etc., all point toward the development of one-step commercial processes, which are capable of casting liquid steel directly into a final sheet product. Progress towards this goal is confirmed by successful advances being made, but there remain major difficulties in reaching it. We concur that the conventional continuous casting method remains the current process of choice for highest-quality steel sheet products, but the ESP TSC (Endless Strip Production—Thin Slab Caste

Abstract:

Aluminium and magnesium alloys are expected to make considerable contributions in reducing the weight of automobiles as they are increasingly used as an alternative to steel; improving fuel economy and vehicle performance while simultaneously reducing emissions. Higher electrical and thermal conductivities of these materials make them difficult to weld using existing resistance spot welding leading to high energy consumption. Friction stir spot welding has proven to be a better alternative to weld these materials. But a probe hole left behind is the main problem in conventional Friction Stir S

Abstract:

Hydrogen fuel cell technology presents a promising solution for zero-emission transportation, offering high energy efficiency, rapid refueling, and a sustainable alternative to conventional internal combustion engines and battery electric vehicles. Unlike fossil fuel-powered vehicles, hydrogen fuel cells produce only water as a byproduct, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. Additionally, fuel cells offer longer driving ranges and shorter refueling times compared to battery electric vehicles, making them an attractive option for various transportation sectors, in

Abstract:

The global demand for rubber is on a steady rise, which is driven by the increasing production of automobiles and the growing need for industrial, medical, and household products. This surge in demand has led to a significant increase in rubber waste, posing a major global environmental challenge. End-of-life tire (ELT) is a primary source of rubber waste, having significant environmental hazards due to its massive stockpiles. While landfilling is a low-cost and easy-to-implement solution, it is now largely prohibited due to environmental concerns. Recently, ELT rubber waste has received consi

Increasing environmental and energy concerns constitutes an encouraging development of future automobiles and autonomous vehicles that utilize cleaner and renewable energy. Although primarily an aerodynamic device, car rear spoilers experience various vibrations and limited attention has been given to exploiting these vibrations for generating alternative energy. This paper aims to investigate the potential of using the flow-induced vibration of rear spoilers on automobiles for energy harvesting. To that end, a fluid-structure interaction analysis of an inverted NACA 2408 spoiler behind an Ahm

Abstract:

ATM high pressure die casting technology (ATM) is a variant of the traditional high pressure die casting (HPDC) process and is distinguishable by its characteristic lean runners that increase process yields. Reduced raw material consumption helps ATM leave a smaller footprint on the environment by lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during primary processing of the alloys and in their melting and handling in the foundry. Further avenues for reducing GHG emissions are raised by the use of ATM technology which improves the integrity of castings - facilitating the adoption of lighter weight c

Upgrading ordinary streetlights to smart streetlights to help monitor traffic flow is a low-cost and pragmatic option for cities. Fine-grained classification of vehicles in the sight of smart streetlights is essential for intelligent transportation and smart cities.

When spraying Lp-contaminated windscreen wiper fluid (WWF) from WWFRs for windscreen cleaning, Lp bioaerosols may be generated and subsequently enter the interior space of automobiles, leading to Lp exposure and even legionellosis in drivers. Indeed, epidemiological studies reveal an increased risk of legionellosis in professional drivers. While limited information shows CSWs against plankton
