| If
you arrived in a car, truck, or bus, NIST helped you to get here.
Manufacturing a car requires more than 15,000 parts and accessories.
These parts must fit and work together perfectly even if made by
many different companies, in different countries.
NIST provides
U.S. automakers with the tools to ensure that a centimeter in
Milwaukee is the same as a centimeter in Malaysia. NIST also co-funds
research on advanced auto technologies and provides technical
and business assistance to small manufacturers such as auto suppliers.
