The Mobility Revolution in the Automotive Industry

  • 2455 Accesses

Abstract

For millennia, mobility was all about horses. That was until the automobile revolution began about a century ago, when the era of the mass production of identical products started to affect mobility too. Nowadays, digitalisation is once again turning everything upside down and taking us – in a new, different way – from the pre-fabricated product for anyone back to the idea of individual solutions. In the automotive industry, with its structures oriented towards vehicle architecture which have developed over decades since the times of Henry Ford, it is often hard to know which is the right path to take towards the future, which will be shaped by digitalisation. Personalised vehicles? Connected vehicles? Car-sharing? There is no shortage of ideas. But how can they be used to complement the existing business model?

    It is hard to provide a precise quantitative statement concerning the ranking of the most attractive employers for students. In other German surveys, German automobile manufacturers are leaders in terms of attractiveness for aspiring engineers. It would, however, be impossible to set precise criteria for a worldwide, standardised framework in engineering. In order to provide a basis for a controversial discussion, we should not limit ourselves to German surveys focusing on German companies.

    Horsepower is a historical unit of power. It illustrates how many horses would be needed to replace the work done by a machine.

    Thanks to mass production, the sales price was reduced from US$ 850 (about US$ 22,311 in today’s terms) to US$ 550 in 1913 and then to US$ 440 in 1915. Right into the 1920s, the price was finally lowered to US$ 260 thanks to continual improvements to manufacturing techniques and volumes.

    In practice, there are several levels, different terms to refer to the levels, and different structures. For example, a valve control can also be part of an engine control group.

    The maximum data transfer rate was 55 kBit/s, which, compared with today’s 4G mobile networks with their 300 MBit/s, is very slow.
