The Automotive Industry (01.05, PPT Slide 4) A. Discuss the automotive industry as part of the larger domestic and international transportation industry and jobs associated with automobiles as part of a bigger picture encompassing all transportation-related jobs. Note that all transportation industries have changed because of the growth or loss of markets and changes in technology, laws, regulations, and the economy. Any transportation-related career requires the ability to adapt and grow as things change. B. Examine changes in the auto industry in the last 100 years. Describe how at the end of World War II, the American economy needed to change to consumer production. Factories that had been producing war supplies shifted to producing household goods and automobiles. Automotive companies restarted new car production in 1946. Returning veterans and their families needed housing and transportation as suburban areas grew. As more vehicles were sold and more road miles were traveled, more pollution was released into the atmosphere. Auto pollution created a thick, heavy haze over cities, called smog. The California government began to take steps to decrease the amount of pollution produced by cars and trucks. Passage of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and many more emission control laws have forced vehicle manufacturers to meet increasingly strict exhaust emission standards. C. Explain how the economy and fuel prices during the energy crisis of the 1970s caused a shift in consumer attitudes toward the cars the domestic auto makers produced. New standards required auto makers to reach increasingly higher fuel economy ratings across all their vehicles sold in the United States. D. Detail how the market share of foreign and domestic vehicles shifted. Imported cars had a small percentage of the total automotive market share before the mid-1970s. When oil and gas prices rose, many car buyers started to look at the small, fuel-efficient models offered by Honda, Toyota, Datsun (later Nissan), VW, and others. In 1970, Americans bought about 313,000 Japanese-manufactured vehicles and approximately 750,000 vehicles from Germany. In comparison, sales by General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler exceeded more than 85% of the market. In 2015, sales of imported cars in the United States accounted for about 55% of total sales. E. Describe the electronic revolution and how the production of smaller and less expensive electronic components could be supplied at a lower cost. Features such as power door locks, rear window defoggers, and air conditioning, once expensive options, are standard [Show More]
