Abstract The rapid, world‐wide spread of automobiles has necessitated the development of improved technologies for environmental protection, resource utilization and customer satisfaction. As the designs of automotive components have changed, emphasis has shifted to tribological approaches. New tribo‐materials are needed for automotive components that must run at higher temperatures and higher [pressure] x.[velocity] conditions. This paper outlines current issues related to tribo‐materials in passenger cars.
