The automotive industry produces a wide variety of products in different sizes, shapes, and types. It also consists of a vast number of companies that make these products. The automotive industry also produces a wide range of accessories for vehicles. Automotive industry products can be bought from dealers, suppliers, wholesalers, or directly from manufacturers. In addition, the Internet can be a useful resource in looking for the best products at the best possible prices.
The largest products of the automotive industry are engines, transmissions, wheels, and lighting systems. Motor vehicles are categorized based on their structure into passenger vehicles (people-sized cars), heavy duty trucks, and commercial trucks. As for the number of cars or trucks produced per year, there are around eight million cars produced in the United States.
Aside from passenger vehicles, there are two other categories in the automotive industry that are important in making and selling cars: the heavy duty trucking fleet and the gasoline engine manufacturers. As one of the largest manufacturers of passenger vehicles in the world, Germany is also one of the leading manufacturers of diesels, which are diesel-powered internal combustion engines used in heavy duty trucks. The German companies VW and Audi are also the world’s two leading manufacturers of gasoline engine diesel engines. In the world of gasoline engine, VW and Audi are the two largest manufacturers.
Besides passenger automobiles, the automotive industry also manufactures performance vehicles such as racing cars. With this, the automobile production has become more diversified. For example, Toyota was set up in1947 as a division of General Motors in America. The division continued to expand into auto manufacturing. As of today, Toyota still produces motor vehicle parts and automobile engine parts for small, mid-sized, and big companies. In the main article, we will discuss the main article about the automotive industry.
As we have already discussed, there are two main categories in the automotive industry. These categories are the light trucks and the large trucks. The main reason for the division is because these two kinds of vehicles have different needs when it comes to transportation. For example, light trucks need space for accommodation while large trucks need space for transporting goods. In addition, the automotive industry also deals with the electronics industries, the computer, the electrical, and the software industries.
As what have been mentioned earlier, the automotive industry also manufactures light trucks, passenger automobiles, and medium-sized trucks. In addition, they also manufacture SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle), four-wheel drive trucks, buses, and passenger automobiles. In order to meet consumer demands, manufacturers of light trucks and medium-sized trucks have adapted the lightweight construction technology that can be fitted in the vehicles. Meanwhile, manufacturers of large trucks and SUV type vehicles have adopted the rigid frame construction technology.
In order to facilitate the process of mass production, modern Germany automobile manufacturing facility uses automated tools and equipment. Automotive assembly line consists of three major sections namely, the building process, the conversion process, and the finishing process. As we have mentioned above, the first section of the building process involves the construction of the body structure and the mechanical system of the vehicle. Meanwhile, the second section involves the conversion process which includes the conversion of the frame of the vehicle to the one used in the assembly line. Lastly, the last section of this process involves the finishing process, which involves the finalization of the product.
The automotive industry is very much important to the German economy because it employs more than one million people. Moreover, this sector accounts for almost twenty percent of Germany’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This means that if this industry continues to grow at the rate it is going, it will contribute a substantial number to Germany’s GDP. Now, can you imagine what happens when you combine the above facts with the fact that the automotive industry is still very young and has plenty of room for more growth. It is only a matter of time before Germany leads the world in the production of passenger cars as well as other types of high-end vehicles such as trucks and buses.
