Automotive industry 1

Automotive industryThe automotive industry designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and sells the world's motor vehicles. Theautomotive industry is one of the most important economic sectors by revenue.The term automotive industry usually does not include industries dedicated to automobiles after delivery to thecustomer, such as repair shops and motor fuel filling stations.

Worldwide TrendsIn 2007, worldwide production reached a peak at a total of 73.3 million new motorvehicles produced worldwide.[1]

In 2009, worldwide motorvehicle production dropped 13.5 percent to 61 million. Sales in the U.S. dropped 21.2percent to 10.4 million units, sales in the European Union (supported by scrapping incentives in many markets)dropped 1.3 percent to 14.1 million units. China became the world's largest motorvehicles market, both by sales asby production. Sales in China rose 45 percent in 2009 to 13.6 million units.[2] In recent years, private Chinesemanufacturers emerge.About 250 million vehicles are in use in the United States. Around the world, there were about 806 million cars andlight trucks on the road in 2007; they burn over 260 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel yearly.[3] In theopinion of some, urban transport systems based around the car have proved unsustainable, consuming excessiveenergy, affecting the health of populations, and delivering a declining level of service despite increasing investments.Many of these negative impacts fall disproportionately on those social groups who are also least likely to own anddrive cars.[4] [5] [6] The sustainable transport movement focuses on solutions to these problems.

HistoryThe first practical automobile with a petrol engine was built by Karl Benz in 1885 in Mannheim, Germany. Benzwas granted a patent for his automobile on 29 January 1886, and began the first production of automobiles in 1888,after Bertha Benz, his wife, had proved with the first long-distance trip in August 1888 - from Mannheim toPforzheim and back - that the horseless coach was absolutely suitable for daily use. Since 2008 a Bertha BenzMemorial Route commemorates this event.Soon after, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Stuttgart in 1889 designed a vehicle from scratch to be anautomobile, rather than a horse-drawn carriage fitted with an engine. They also are usually credited as inventors ofthe first motorcycle in 1886, but Italy's Enrico Bernardi, of the University of Padua, in 1882, patented a 0.024horsepower (17.9 W) 122 cc (7.4 cu in) one-cylinder petrol motor, fitting it into his son's tricycle, making it at least acandidate for the first automobile, and first motorcycle;.[7] :p.26 Bernardi enlarged the tricycle in 1892 to carry twoadults.[7] :p.26
