This paper gives the General Motors (GM) perspective in vehicle tribology. Tribology plays an important role in vehicle durability, reliability, and fuel efficiency. While several areas in the vehicle are included, major emphasis is given to engine tribology. Piston skirt, piston rings, crankshaft and its bearings, and the valve train are identified as the most critical reciprocating engine components for tribological investigation. In addition to discussing these, engine friction, engine lubricants, clutches and brakes, and sheet metal forming are briefly covered. In each case the tribological state-of-the-art, as applied in design, is identified. GM's analytical and experimental capabilities are discussed, and areas where more work is needed are identified.
