ADVANCES IN MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS IN AUTOMOBILES. AN UPDATED BIBLIOGRAPHIC REVIEW

Abstract

Vehicles have had a boom in recent decades in terms of the incorporation of state-of-the-art technologies, in which the vast majority of mechanical parts have been replaced by electrical and electronic elements, even talking about clean fuels, where the electric power seems to be the key to take the step of change towards a new automotive era. The objective of the present investigation is to compile information regarding how mechatronics has influenced and has been incorporated into new vehicle designs, through documentary research where the main scientific, technical and scientific publications found in the main web databases, such as Google Scholar, indexed journals such as Latindex, Dialnet, Redalyc, Scielo, among others. As a final reflection, the premise is handled that, on the one hand, the car had remained intact in its design and components until the problems of pollution due to the use of fossil fuels began in the world, and given the imminent possibility that in a In the future, this resource is exhausted, on the other hand, advances in technology have made it possible to replace many of the elements that make up the mechanics of a car, making them more effective and efficient in terms of performance and durability, as well as being part of a change in the use of energy. clean.
