Description: The dictionary of automotive technology with its technical illustrations is intended as a bilingual reference work serving all those who need an adequate translation in this specialized field.
Special attention was paid to areas of importance today, such as safety, environ-mental protection, and recycling.
Also taken into account was the increasingly crucial role of electronics in vehicle and motor construction. For example, considerable scope is devoted to modern technical implementations for motors and procedures of treating exhaust gases. It should be noted that, in modern vehicles, the periphery of a motor demands more attention than it did just a few years ago. For this reason, an interdisciplinary perspective as in this specialized publication is indispensable to do justice to the diversity of modern technology in vehicle construction with its diverse marginal areas.
This specialized dictionary provides not only translations, but also many supplemen-tary explanations and examples in addition to the definitions found in automobile and motorcycle advertising, catalogs, magazine articles, specialized literature, technical instruction manuals, and handbooks 
Technical terminology for the areas of drive engineering, chassis, body, electrical parts, electronics, fuel-air mixing and combustion, and exhaust and catalyzer tech-nology are crucial for properly expressing oneself.
Even when merely buying a new or used domestic or foreign vehicle, it is advanta-geous to be well-informed about technical details.
Beyond that, knowledge of the technology and its specialized terminology is also ad-vantageous in diagnosing problems and being able to give a repair shop a precise repair order, whether one is at home or on vacation.
To ease understanding, an appendix with additional bilingual tables and explanations clarifies the terminology of the various systems, thereby supporting the user looking for a solution to a problem.
The author and the publishing house hope that this dictionary will fully serve its pur-pose by giving every user the required information. 
The present work has been compiled with the outmost care and to the best of our knowledge. However, if any errors managed to sneak into the dictionary, we would be very grateful if you let us know.
