The profitability of road transport, driving comfort and reduction of the environmental impact are areas that will have a significant influence on the development and innovation of vehicles, the powertrain subassembly and all its main components. Manufacturers of cars, trucks and buses can influence the above situations by controlling weight reduction, and optimising fuel consumption, and reliability and life of the subassemblies and components making the car. But apart from economic considerations, social and political attention will be increasingly focused on man and the quality of the environment in which he lives, and this will inevitably have a strong effect on vehicle innovation. The comfort of the driver and the interests of whoever suffers the negative effects deriving from the need for goods transport, are situations that must be approached with a new design and manufacturing technologies.
