A Growth Industry

The world’s automobile industry made over sixty-six million cars, vans, trucks and buses in 2005. These vehicles are essential to the working of the global economy and to the well being of the world’s citizens.
This level of output is equivalent to a global turnover of €1.9 trillion. If vehicle manufacturing was a country it would […]

Add-on Technologies

The first reductions in Vehicle exhaust emissions were achieved by improving engine design and tuning, but to reach the massively reduced levels of today, new add-on technologies had to be developed to attack specific pollutants and remove or chemically convert them. Often these had to be different devices, or combinations of devices, for the different […]

Worldwide Harmonization

Harmonization of vehicle regulations is important to the Auto Industry. In a global industry, Automakers are faced with a wide variety of different regulations in different countries, often aimed at achieving the same purpose, but differing for historical reasons. Harmonizing these regulations world-wide, offers savings in technical resources, which can better be applied elsewhere, to […]

Worldwide Fuel Harmonization

Today’s sophisticated emissions- reduction technologies need cleaner fuels. In fact, substances like sulphur can disable clean auto technology. The vehicle industry strongly urges all parties involved to ensure early, global availability of high quality fuels. Vehicles and fuels must be seen as a single system in a global context. We recently revised the World-wide Fuels […]

Alternative Fuels

Automakers have invested hugely in reaching air quality improvements and in developing diverse automobiles that run on alternative fuels including those from sustainable sources or that use hybrid technology using both gasoline or diesel engines and electric power. Because consumers, as well as different regions of the world, favour different technologies, automakers are developing a […]

Technology Jobs

The automobile industry is also a major innovator, investing almost €85 billion in research, development and production. The auto industry plays a key role in the technology level of other industries and of society and is one of the largest investors in research and development, with several manufacturers leading the Top 10. Vehicle manufacturing […]

Harmonization and the U.N.

Worldwide harmonization of vehicle regulations takes place in the United Nations, where the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations, (WP29) and its groups of government and industry experts develop new “GTRs” – Global Technical Regulations. As the accredited representative of the worldwide vehicle industry in the United Nations, OICA members and staff are fully […]
