Abstract
One of the current problems of the global nature is environmental pollution caused by industrial production. Nowadays, we know many advanced hi-tech materials and production methods in the car industry, but when it comes to such innovations, the environment is often forgotten. Therefore it is necessary to find a solution that technological innovations in automobiles will go hand in hand with innovations of emission reductions in manufacturing process. One of ways to achieve a reduction of emissions and prevent leakage of harmful substances is to change the structure of the different principles in the production process (substitute auxiliary compounds, change amount of the compounds, the expansion of the recycling process). The aim of this paper is to highlight the innovation of the manufacturing processes in the automotive industry in order to reduce emissions and save the environment and partially point out also the innovated products of the manufacturing process.
