We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Vehicle Manufacturers",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Transmissions get vehicles back on the road from
ZF Great Britain, which we summarised at the time by saying "ZF Service Exchange units are not only available off the shelf, but can also cost up to 50% less than the list price for a brand new transmission".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Tyre pressure monitor chosen for automobiles from
BERU F1 Systems: "DigiTyre's components comprise wheel electronics, an ECU, two antennae and four LF satellite triggers".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Zircotec
concerning its Zircotec ceramic coating
- take a look at Ceramic coating improves supercar performance
which says: "When applied to an exhaust system, the Zircotec coating inhibits the radiation of heat from the surface of the material, holding the heat inside".
Take a look also at the news release from Sika, Brochures outline adhesives for car interiors,
as well as 3D CAD aids cooling system design from SolidWorks Corporation,
and Power switching system aids vehicle conversion from Sagentia.
