Description: 
This institute, which has branches in Kiyev and Leningrad, is 
responsible for research in all areas connected with automobiles, including 
materials used in servicing and repairing them. They have worked on fuels, 
such as gasoline and diesel fuels, lubricants, antifreeze, and brake fluids; 
this has also included cooperating on the development of standards. 
Research on the treatment of metals has included methods of welding 
and surfacing aluminum and zinc alloys. They have not only improved the 
processes for the usual auto-part materials, but have also developed different 
materials, for example, a compound of fiber plastics and fluoroplast-4 
(Ftoroplast-4) for use as plastic bearings.
