During April, Schaeffler would like to “test your knowledge” with some interesting quizzes in areas such as historic pioneering deeds; sustainability and vehicles with the ‘wow’ factor. Our first quiz takes a look at materials.
From stone, iron, and wood to steel, plastics, and carbon, through to the new possibilities opened up by biomaterials.
