DEFENITION OF
AUTOMOBILE

Motorized vehicle consisting of four wheels and

powered by an internal engine. Automobiles are used
to transport people and items from one location to
another location. After years or
various designs, inventors were able to develop a functi
onal general design that is utilized by major
automakers as the foundation of their designs.
Automobiles generally use gasoline to fuel the internal
engine, but technological advances have led to the
design of cars that run on electricity.
The History
The first car was built by Joseph Cugnot
in 1769. It was powered by a steam
engine and was very slow.

Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoir was the first

In the 1900’s Ford made more steam and

electric cars than it did gasoline.

was refined interest in hybrids died down.

As problems with environment and gas

process continue, Hybrids are now a hot
commodity in the market place and are
now the new wave of future cars
PRESENT SCENARIO IN INDIA

Component Manufacturers’ Association (ACMA).

The cumulative FDI inflows into the Indian

automobile industry during April 2000 to October

amounting to 4 per cent of the total FDI inflows.
