Energy efficiency improvement and cost saving opportunities for the automotive manufacturing industry

The automotive industry in the Malaysia is growing rapidly with the increasing demand for vehicles. This situation will increase the rate of energy consumption and might has spends about billion kwh on energy annually. This research focus on automotive manufacturing assembly plants for DRB Hicom Aut...
