In recent decades, micro and nanotechnology have received increasing attention with a multitude of applications across disciplines. These technologies have been applied to the field of transportation vehicles (automotive industry) extensively. This paper reviews the current state of the art in micro/nano-technology in the automotive industry including how this technology can be employed to improve the comfort, safety, and efficiency of transportation vehicles. In addition, this paper focuses on recent developments and applications of nanotechnology in the transportation vehicle industry, including nanocoating’s, carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene, nanocomposites, aluminium-CNT nanocomposites, silicon carbide, nanofluids, nano steel, carbon black for tires, electric vehicles, fuel cells vehicles, scratch and wear resistance paint, nanostructured coatings, ultra-thin layers for mirrors and reflectors, micro-/nano-technologies for improved engine performance, automotive sensors, light weighting of bodies/hoods, lubricants, etc. It is possible that several nanomaterials may be potential candidates for use in future environment friendly transportation vehicles since they have demonstrated outstanding performance and have been theoretically researched. We anticipate that this paper will contribute to further sustainable research and greater potential applications of environmentally friendly nanomaterials in transportation vehicles to improve the automobile industry worldwide.
