Technologies, Materials and Digital Management Solutions for Automotive Industry

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions for this Special Issue, “Technologies, Materials and Digital Management Solutions for the Automotive Industry”.

The automotive industry can be considered as a key industry sector in the worldwide context, and is one of the main pillars of the global economy. The automotive industry should not be considered as a sector solely intended for the production of vehicles, but also as a sector for the manufacture of partial modules, systems and components. Based on the demand for individual components, the automotive industry can be considered as a significant contributor to the engineering, electrotechnical and chemical industries. In the interest of developing the automotive industry so that it is equipped with modern production and control methods, further research is required. The complex synergy of technologies, materials and management utilizing the digital solutions provided by Industry 4.0 necessitates strong leadership to monitor and drive continual progress in the automotive industry. This Special Issue is dedicated to this progress, with a primary focus on scientific knowledge and transfer into the research and development of technologies, materials, management and digital solutions for the automotive industry.
