This paper addresses the innovation potentials in nanotechnologies and their applications in the automobile industries. Nanotechnology is technology at the nanometer scale – the scale of atoms and molecules. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, or the length of about three to twenty atoms. Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology works with material, devices and other structures with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100nm. Nanotechnology was begun 30 years ago. Nanotechnology is the building of structures at nanoscale at the order 109 m. A significant development in the field of transportation will put an imprint in the development of our society. Therefore industries are now heavily investing in researches and developments in order to develop safety, environment friendliness, comfort and outstanding transportation systems. This paper is organized into 5 sections. Section 1 deals with the introduction to nanotechnologies, the size and name of particles, the emerging areas of nanotechnology and their applications and finally the research objectives and research questions Section II deals with scanning of the existing literature on the applications of nanotechnologies in the automobile industries. Section III the research design and the methodology adopted for this study. Section IV deals with result and discussion - the potential innovations in nanotechnologies which can revolutionize the automobile industries and the results of the study. Finally, this paper concludes by outlining the research contributions of this study, policy implications the limitations of this study and probing the scope for future studies in this direction. Annexure-I shows the research findings in a tabular form. Key Words: Nanotechnology, Automobile Applications, Aerospace, Marine
