Increasing requirements for environmental protection, safety or reliability force automotive industries to use more efficient tests to measure tightness of the components. Currently adapted methods brings limitations which makes automotive industry open for new techniques for leakage tests. Infrared cameras are widely used in various fields. Using them to test leakage of closed-volume systems allows to significantly reduce test time, especially for objects which requires long stabilization times in competitive methods. In the article thermovision usage for leakage detection of gas springs were described.

The automotive sector is one of the fastest growing sectors of economy. The increasing amount of cars both in Polish and world roads results in the immeasurable benefits associated with the goods and human transport. On the other hand, this phenomenon caused the contamination of the environment. During the fuel combustion in petrol or diesel engines, the harmful gases, for example CO2, NOx and SOx are emitted. Apart from the negative impact on the environment, the emission of the aforementioned gases results in the deterioration of human conditions, as well as, the development of civilization diseases. In order to minimalize the harmful influence of an automotive industry on the environment, new technologies which can reduce the consumption of fuel or limit the fumes emission are developed. The first part of paper presents new solutions in an automotive sector which influence on the decline of the negative impact of automobiles on the environment. Additionally, proposed solutions affect the development of a car industry, taking into consideration environmental aspects.

This article aims to propose a new model of technological innovations, as well as using it in a case study in the automotive industry. After an analysis of the main scientific databases, it was verified that the present work is unprecedented in presenting a unified model of identification and management of technological innovations. In methodological terms, the bibliometric and systemic analyzes were performed in order to identify the main technological innovations inherent in the automotive industry. In terms of research results, a cohesive innovation model was obtained, which, once based on the concepts of sensitive innovation and latent innovation, allows the identification and the consequent valuation of the economic potential of the main technological innovations in the area desired by the manager who will apply it. As an example, the model was applied specifically in the automotive sector, but its methodology can be generalized to any area of industrial production.

Reliability of automotive parts has been one of the most interesting fields in the automotive industry. Especially small DC motor was issued because of the increasing adoption for passengers’ safety and convenience. For several years, small DC motors have been studied and some problems of a life test method were found out. The field condition was not considered enough in the old life test method. It also needed a lot of test time. For precise life estimation and accelerated life test, new life test procedure was developed based on measured field condition. First, vibration condition on vehicle and latent force on fan motor shaft were measured and correlated with each other. Second, test condition was decided by obtained data. Finally, life of fan motors was estimated by new life test method in shorter test time.

The field of high-pressure steel cylinders (HPSC) and vessels used for the variety of applications especially for the CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) in automotive industry is still expanding. With increasing safety requirements, a need of new techniques applied in field of HPSC structural innovations comes into place. Conventional treatment provides generally sufficient parameters of HPSC, but the long-term goal is to achieve as high as possible strength properties vs. as high as possible notch impact strength, which is currently difficult fully accessible, because of the banded structures (segregation banding) created during the process of reversed extrusion and reversed hot rolling.

Malaysia intends to ride on the crest of the coming i.4.0 wave. According to the 2016 GE Global Innovation Barometer study, a significant number of Malaysian executives felt positive about embracing i4.0 vis-a-vis their global peers. On the surface, Malaysia appears ready for its own i4.0 revolution. According to the WEF's Networked Readiness Index on digital readiness, Malaysia was ranked 6th in terms of having the most tech-savvy government in the world. The automotive sector is ideally suited to kickstart the i4.0 revolution as it was traditionally regarded as the “industry of industries” – particularly due to its traditional role in spearheading wider, cross-sectoral industrialisation. However, Malaysia is not yet ready to embrace the 4th Industrial Revolution. This chapter discusses the obstacles, challenges, and opportunities facing i4.0 uptake in the Malaysian automotive industry. It ends by recommending a unique pathway for i4.0 adoption in the sector.

Successful cooperation between large manufacturers and their suppliers is a crucial aspect, especially in the automotive industry. Such mutually beneficial cooperation requires at least a certain level of integration and interoperation of the partners’ IT and e-business systems. This chapter looks at two approaches in order to achieve this goal: sector-specific harmonization (in the form of electronic marketplaces) and international, committee-based standardization. This chapter shows that SMEs are facing a severe disadvantage in both cases. This is, however, less pronounced in a formal standards setting, in which capabilities of the individual representatives are more important, at least at the working level.

Pipelines are widely used for the transportation of hydrocarbon fluids over millions of miles all over the world. The structures of the pipelines are designed to withstand several environmental loading conditions to ensure safe and reliable distribution from point of production to the shore or distribution depot. However, leaks in pipeline networks are one of the major causes of innumerable losses in pipeline operators and nature. Incidents of pipeline failure can result in serious ecological disasters, human casualties and financial loss. In order to avoid such menace and maintain safe and reliable pipeline infrastructure, substantial research efforts have been devoted to implementing pipeline leak detection and localisation using different approaches. This paper discusses pipeline leakage detection technologies and summarises the state-of-the-art achievements. Different leakage detection and localisation in pipeline systems are reviewed and their strengths and weaknesses are highlighted. Comparative performance analysis is performed to provide a guide in determining which leak detection method is appropriate for particular operating settings. In addition, research gaps and open issues for development of reliable pipeline leakage detection systems are discussed.

Subject Outlook for the automotive sector. Significance The Brazilian automotive industry, one of the worst-affected sectors during the prolonged economic crisis, has been showing signs of recovery. Production and sales have experienced some improvement recently, although they remain below pre-recession levels. Production levels have been higher than domestic sales, as some output has been exported. The sector may play a key role in jump-starting the Brazilian economy. Impacts Domestic auto sales still depend on improvements in income, credit and employment conditions. New investments may be postponed by automakers if a decision is not taken on “Route 2030”. EU-Mercosur trade discussions may directly affect the Brazilian auto industry.

Researches on leak detection system of gas network are significant to fault pipelines diagnosis. In the daily operation of city gas pipeline network, pipeline leakage is the most risky failure type. This paper attempts to review and analyze the existing gas network leak detection systems, meanwhile, design a new kind of leak detection system for daily monitoring and leakage detection of gas network. The greatest advantage of this system is to be able to do all kinds of leak experimental research, especially has great reference value for the leak detection task in colleges and universities.
