HISTORY OF AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

 


The automotive industry includes many companies and organizations involved in the design, development, production, marketing and sale of motor vehicles.
Some of them are called car manufacturers. This is one of the most important economic sectors in the world in terms of revenue. The auto industry does not include industries dedicated to servicing cars after delivery to the end user, such as auto repair shops and gas stations.

The term automobile was created from the Greek car (self) and Latin motor (motion) to represent any form of self-propelled vehicle.
The term was proposed by Elmer Sperry or Elmer Ambrose Sperry, Sr. is an American inventor and businessman.

History



The automobile industry began in the 1860s with hundreds of manufacturers pioneering horseless carriages.
For decades, the United States led the world in total automobile production. In 1929, before the Great Depression, there were 32,028,500 cars on the road worldwide, and the American auto industry produced more than 90% of them. At that time, there was one car for every 4.87 people in America. After World War II, the United States produced about 75% of the world's automobiles. In 1980, the US was surpassed by Japan, then became the world leader again in 1994. In 2006, Japan nearly surpassed the US in output and maintained that ranking until 2009, when China took over first place with 13.8 million units. With 19.3 million units produced in 2012, China almost doubled US production with 10.3 million units, while Japan came in third place with 9.9 million units. [4 ] From 1970 (140 models) to 1998 (260 models) to 2012 (684 models), the number of car models in the United States increased exponentially.

How Spark Plugs Work

As engines and their electronics become more complex, one of the few things left to hobbyists and auto enthusiasts who like a little grease under their fingernails is the ability to change their spark plugs. Although just about every other car repair out there takes a code reader and a college degree to diagnose and fix, spark plugs remain accessible and easy to understand. The first reliable spark plug was invented in 1903 by Oliver Lodge. They're aptly named as well; spark plugs are simply insulated plugs that are screwed into an internal combustion engine's cylinder head to deliver the spark that ignites the mixture of air and fuel in the combustion chamber. Spark plugs also transfer heat away from the combustion chamber. Basically, this is what happens: The spark plug sits at the top of the cylinder head. The piston first travels down the cylinder, drawing in a mixture of fuel and air. The piston then goes back up toward the spark plug, compressing the mixture. At t...
