In times of economic crisis and rising fuel prices, drivers are looking for the most economical vehicles possible, while manufacturers are looking for the best ways to efficiently comply with increasingly stringent emission limits. An interesting alternative to the still relatively expensive green modes of transportation are vehicles labeled with the acronym mHEV. What exactly is a mild hybrid?

Fuel cell engines are increasingly popular in the range of top car manufacturers. These are a solution with many benefits – great importance is attached e.g. to high efficiency, which allows such units to be used even in buses.

Modern computer simulations make it possible to accurately digitally represent objects and the impacts they may be subjected to. This method finds excellent application especially in the development of products that, by virtue of their purpose, must have high strength. At Knauf Industries, it is used on a daily basis in the design and development of modern transport packaging made of foamed EPP and EPS plastics.

Efficient airbags can save the lives of the driver and passengers in the event of an accident. How does an airbag safety system actually work, what affects the reliability of such solutions and what are the legal issues surrounding airbags?

The Euro 7 standard is one of the most anticipated legislations in the automotive industry. It has long been controversial because of its very stringent vehicle emission limits, which for the first time take into account, for example, dusting during brake pad abrasion. For internal combustion cars, it could mean an even faster recall.
