The industry

The auto industry has always relied a great deal on three major engineering disciplines – mechanical, electrical / electronic and manufacturing – in varying order, depending on current trends. Electrical engineering is one of the highest growth areas in the industry, because it plays a major role in differentiating the vehicles from different companies. Further, electronic safety is the focus of a lot of current development projects. Foremost trends include fuel-cell efficiency, diesel fuel, alternative fuels, hybrid engines, continuously variable transmission, variable compression and variable valve timing.
