An automobile is a wheeled vehicle that carries its own motor and transports passengers.
Parts of modern cars:
All these parts are important for the car to run properly.
Spark Plug
Battery
Starter Motor
Firing Distributer
Plug Cable
Ignition Coil
1769Nicolas
Joseph Cugnot invents the
very first self-propelled road
vehicle.
1832 -1839 Robert
Anderson creates the first electric
carriage.
1876Nicolaus
August Otto creates first effective gas motor engine.
1913-14Henry Ford created an
efficient assembly line.
Cars easily available to the
public.
1960-1970The first
gasoline/electric truck is
created by the Boyertown Auto Body
Works.
1990-
Automobile companies focus on a
more environmental
approach.
1885
Karl Benz
creates
worlds first
practical
automobile.
1796 1832-1839
Cugnot’s invention was a military tractor run by a steam engine.
It was used by the French Army to haul artillery at a whopping speed of 2 1/2 mph on only three wheels.
Had to stop every 10-15 min. to work up enough power to move.
Robert Anderson’s electric cars used rechargeable batteries that powered a small electric motor.
The vehicles were heavy, slow, expensive, and needed to stop for recharging frequently.
Not a very effective form of transportation.
1876 1885
Nicolaus Otto built the first practical four-stroke internal combustion engine called the "Otto Cycle Engine”.
His four-stoke engine that was universally adopted for all liquid-fueled automobiles.
Effective and Efficient
Karl Benz was a German mechanical engineer.
His automobile was powered by the internal combustion engine.
He was the first inventor to integrate an internal combustion engine with a chassis.
1913-1914 1960-1970
Henry Ford invented an improved assembly line and installed the first conveyor belt-based assembly line.
The assembly line reduced production costs for cars by reducing assembly time.
Ford became the world’s biggest car manufacturer
Hybrid vehicles were created to reduce the problems of exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines.
Hybrid vehicles become more mainstream.
Used by companies in transportation to reduce spending.
Several legislative and regulatory actions in the United
States and worldwide have renewed electric vehicle
development efforts.
The “Big Three” are actively involved in electric vehicle
development through the Partnership for a New
Generation of Vehicles (PNGV).
Many actions have been taking to reduce the carbon
footprint of automobiles.
1990-
Cars have become an integral part of our lives today. We cannot live without them, but this comes at a price.
Our environment is continually being affected adversely by CO2 emissions.
How long can this last?
1. Raw materials are gathered.
2. Car is built in the assembly line.
3. Completed Car is taken to car
dealerships.
4. Consumer buys ,uses, and may repair
the car.
5. Car is stripped of parts and scrapped
Glass, steel, rubber, plastic, copper, lithium, silicon and aluminum are processed and used to construct the car.
Rubber is stripped from previous tires and reused.
Other reusable parts are broken down and reused in a new car.
Cars are moved through different stations in a line. Parts are added individually onto the car.
Faster way to meet consumer’s needs through quick and efficient building.
Automated machines now help in speeding along production on the assembly line.
Manufacturers ship out cars to privately owned car dealerships.
Dealerships sell the vehicle for the manufacturer and share the profits with them.
Some dealerships allow buyers to trade in cars which continue onto other consumers or are scrapped.
Consumer uses the car for as long he/she sees it fit to drive.
Based on mileage, consumers may trade in a car for a newer one. The average car’s life is around 7.6 years.
To increase the life of a car, the consumer might get parts repaired.
After the consumer no longer needs the vehicle, it is sold or scrapped.
Parts recycled will include the alloy wheels, rubber, plastics and metals.
These parts/materials will be sold on to companies that can reclaim the materials for further use.
The waste of the car is removed and all other metal is melted down to be removed.
