INDUSTRY PROFILE
The automobile as we know it was not invented in a single day by a single inventor. The history of the automobile reflects an evolution that took place worldwide. It is estimated that over 100,000 patents created the modern automobile.
However, we can point to the many first that occurred along the way. Starting with the first theoretical plans for a motor vehicle that had been drawn up by both Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton.
In 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was a military tractor invented by French engineer and mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot (1725 1804). Cugnot used a steam engine to power his instructions at the Paris Arsenal by mechanic Brezin. It was used by the French Army to haul artillery at a whopping speed of 2 mph on only three wheels. The vehicle has to stop every ten to fifteen minutes to build up steam power. The steam engine and boiler were separate from the rest of the vehicle and placed in the front. The following year (1770), Cugnot built a steam-powered tricycle carried four passengers.
In 1771, Cugnot drove one of his road vehicles into a stone wall, making Cugnot the first person to get into a motor vehicle accident. This was the beginning of bad luck for the inventor. After one of Cugnots patrons died and the other was exiled, the money for Cugnots road vehicle experiments ended.
Page8
Steam engines powered cars by burning fuel that heated water in a boiler, Creating steam that expanded and pushed pistons that turned the crankshaft, which then turned the wheels. During the early history of self-propelled vehicles-both road and railroad vehicles were being developed with steam engines. (Cugnot also designed two steam locomotives that they proved a poor design road vehicles; however, steam engines were very successfully used in locomotives. Historians, who accept that early steam-powered road vehicles were automobiles, feel that Nicolas Cugnot was theinventor of the first automobile.
INTRODUCTION:
Since the first car rolled out on the streets of Mumbai (Bombay) in 1898, the Automobile Industry of India has come a long way. During its early stages the auto industry was overlooked by the government and the polices were also not favorable. The Liberalization police and various tax reliefs by the Govt. of India in recent years have made remarkable impact on Indian Automobile industry. Indian auto industry, which is currently growing at the pace of around 18% per annum, has become a hot destination for global auto player like Volvo, general motors and Ford.
Page9
Indias automobile sector consists of the passenger cars and utility vehicles, commercial vehicles, two wheelers and tractors segment. The total market size of the auto sector in India is approximately Rest 540 billion and has been growing at around 8 percent per annum for the last few years. Since the last four to five years, the two wheel segment has driven the overall volume growth on account of the spurt in the sales of the motorcycle. However, lately the passenger cars and commercial vehicles segment has also seen a good growth due to high discount lower financial rate and pickup in industrial activity respectively.
The automobile industry is fairly concentrated as in most of the segment two or three players have cornered a major chunk of the total sales. For instance in passenger car segment, MUL, Tata Motors and Hyundai motors control around 85% of the total annual sales. Similarly, in the two wheelers segment the sales volume of Hero Honda, Bajaj auto and TVS motors constitute around 80% of the total sales and in the commercial vehicle segment the market leader Telco controls around 56% of the total annual sales. The auto components industry on the other hand is highly fragmented through there are dominating players in some of the critical segment.
Some of the early events and milestones in the car industry in India.
1928 The first imported car on the Indian roads. 1942 Hindustan Motors incorporated. 1944 Premier Automobiles started. 1948 First car manufactured in India.
Page10
1953 The Govt. of India decreed that only those firms which have a
manufacturing program should be allowed to operate.
1955 Only 7 firms HM, API, SMPL, PAL, M & M, and TELCO received
approval. Key Facts about Indias automobile industry: India ranks 12th in the list of the worlds top 15 automakers. Entry of more international players. Contributes 5% to the GDP. Production of four wheelers in India has increased from 9.3 lakh units in 2002-03 to 23 lakh units in 2007-08. Targeted to be of $ 145 Billion by 2016. Exports increased from 84,000 units in 2002-03 to 280,000 units in 2007-08
The Liberalization in 1990 in India opened the doors for the entry of foreign products into the market. This made the market a customer market with a lot of choices for the customers. The future of the products depends on the customers satisfaction. The products, which are able to attract the customers, are having a bright future and the others are lost in the competition. So it is very important to know the pulse of the customers. The business people should always have correct information regarding the satisfaction level in the customers. Different ways are to be implemented to increase the satisfaction level in the customers.
