A car is a sophisticated system of parts assembled for fan database transportation. All parts have specific functions that make mobility possible. Automotive parts are made from various materials such as metal, plastic, rubber, and composite materials. The right choice of manufacturing processes is crucial for the manufacturing of these parts.

The most common parts are:

1. Engine
The engine, which is the brain of a car, determines its overall performance. The parts that make up the engine block are the piston, crankshaft, cylinder head, manifold, oil pan, engine block, valves, and manifolds. The engine is made of metal to withstand intense pressure and undergoes the casting process (die casting and sand casting) during manufacturing. Cummins is one of the companies that manufacture engines in Mexico.

2. Chassis
This is the framework that supports the rest of the car. It supports the weight of the other systems. Carbon steel is used in the construction of chassis due to its high impact resistance and strength. Other materials such as composites and aluminum are also suitable. The chassis is subjected to processes such as stamping, bending, extrusion drawing and forging. Several companies manufacture chassis components in Mexico, such as Metalsa in Monterrey, TREMEC, Magna International and Martinrea.

3. Transmission system
The transmission system is responsible for shifting gears and works closely with the engine. It transfers the power from the engine to the wheels to move the car forward. The transmission system comes in two main types: manual and automatic. The parts of the system include the gearbox, axle, clutch, and driveshaft. The manufacturing process involves several techniques, such as stamping, punching, bending, and heat treatment.
