Automotive Engineered Solutions

At a nominal water use of 1,000 gal (3785.41 L) to build a vehicle, the automotive industry is highly water intensive. With the continuous growth of global middle class and the trends towards electric and autonomous vehicles, the need for sustainable mobility solutions is expected to grow, forcing auto manufacturers to produce more with less.
