In addition to environmental issues, the automobile, which is the most common and one of the most important vehicles of 20C, fuel efficiency is becoming increasingly important these days. As a result, the efficiency of the powertrain is crucial along with the development of an efficient engine. The Powertrain Design & Micro-Nano Tribology Laboratory uses the Tribology literature to analyze the lubrication of Piston Skirt, Piston Ring Pack System, Value-Train, etc. for effective vehicle engine lubrication research, and the Main Shaft for the efficiency and durability of transmission
