The automotive industry is the real pride of the Uzbek people. Its foundation was built during the years of independence and occupies a leading place in our economy. Among the countries producing vehicles, the automotive industry of Uzbekistan occupies the 28th-37th place, and among the countries of Central Asia, the first place.

    Today, the automotive industry in our country is one of the dynamically developing sectors of the economy, and the Uzbek automotive industry includes many enterprises equipped with modern technologies. Currently, there are more than 75 enterprises in the automotive industry, which employ more than 225 thousand workers and employees.

    Shokhista Mamasoliyeva, senior lecturer at the Department of Primary and Technological Education of the Samarkand State University, is conducting a scientific study on the topic “Improving the technology for developing high-strength hygienic and operational overalls for workers in the automotive industry.” The researcher took part in the competition "Inventor - 2022", organized as part of the Week "100 Inventors of the Region", and won in the nomination "Best Industrial Design, Breeding Achievement, Rationalization Proposal".

    - The workwear produced for employees is one of the necessary means of individual protection of a person, the purpose of which is to protect the working body from the negative effects of physical, mechanical and environmental factors and various contaminants, to ensure the normative thermoregulation of the body, freedom of movement, ease of operation, - says Shohista Mamasoliyeva, - Special clothing currently offered on the consumer market does not always fully satisfy the set of requirements for it, does not always meet the needs for special clothing that meets the specifics of certain conditions of the production environment. Separately, it should be noted that ensuring that the protective properties of workwear meet the operating conditions is one of the most urgent tasks in the production of workwear, and the automotive industry is no exception.

    Currently, overalls for employees of the automotive industry are made mainly from imported pads. The main composition of this imported pad is polyester. Which in terms of operational, hygienic and technological characteristics does not fully meet the climatic conditions of Uzbekistan. The reason is that our climate is dry and hot. The current cotton work clothes have a very low fiber content and are virtually breathable. For clerks who work 8-10 hours a day, walking in uniform throughout the day has become a challenge in itself. To establish the production of special clothing pads and workwear sets in Uzbekistan, taking into account climatic features, we have created a new structural pad with a modified fibrous composition. That is, we added modal fibers instead of polyester to the composition of the lining, from which work clothes are made. When studying the physical and mechanical properties of the finished product, it was found that the hygienic indicators of the newly created gaseous substance, namely air permeability and hygroscopicity (the ability to absorb sweat produced by the human body), are higher. This suggests that this soda can be recommended for workwear for workers not only in the automotive industry, but also in other manufacturing enterprises in our country.
