Abstract: “The transportation industry is no doubt a fast-growing sector of the economy of most countries. As the world population grows, there is a corresponding increase in the demand for an improved and functional transportation system. However, manufacturers and researchers in the automobile industry face a lot of challenges in order to meet up with the ever-increasing vehicle demand and government regulations. These challenges include the need to develop a motor vehicle that would be safe, economical and functional with low emission. Several strategies towards the development of advanced materials have been adopted to meet up with these challenges such as the replacement of heavy metallic parts with high strength and lightweight composite materials; and the use of nanoparticles as additives in fuel, tyre, lubricants, coatings and paints. Titanium as a material with low density, high rigidity, high corrosion resistance, good thermal stability, high strength, structural stability, and reflecti”
