The automotive sector represents more than a simple industry. It
embodies the economic and technological power of nations, the
lifestyle and consumption patterns of societies, the dynamics of
urban and territorial development, and acts as a national barometer
of economic success and failure. This book explains how the car
industry works and analyses the challenges both for the sector and
for the economies that rely on the industry for jobs, growth and
innovation. It explores an industry that has been under severe
pressure in industrialized countries for many years - factories
have closed, jobs have gone and brands and manufacturers have
disappeared - yet world production has never been higher, reaching
new peaks annually. The authors investigate how western and
Japanese manufacturers still dominate the market, despite the
challenge posed by Korean, Chinese and Indian competitors. They
examine how changing environmental policies and consumer
preferences are moving the industry towards electric vehicles; how
usage patterns are evolving, favouring car-sharing; and how
advances in electronics and digitalization are set to further
reshape the sector with autonomous and self-driving vehicles. The
book offers readers a short, non-technical guide to the workings of
a fast-moving industry that remains of huge importance to both
national and global economies.
