  1. CAR By Amm G3S

  2. Definition • An automobile, autocar, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. • Cars are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels.

  3. History • The first motor car in central Europe and one of the first factory-made cars in the world, was produced by Czech company NesselsdorferWagenbau (later renamed to Tatra) in 1897, the Prasidentautomobil. • The large-scale, production-line manufacturing of affordable automobiles was debuted by Ransom Olds in 1902 at his Oldsmobile factory located in Lansing, Michigan. This concept was greatly expanded by Henry Ford, beginning in 1914.

  6. Weight • The weight of a car influences fuel consumption and performance, with more weight resulting in increased fuel consumption and decreased performance. • Global energy use could be heavily reduced by using lighter cars, and an average weight of 500 kg has been said to be well achievable.

  7. Seating and body style • Most cars are designed to carry multiple occupants, often with four or five seats. • Sports cars are often designed with only two seats, and very occasionally three seats. • The differing needs for passenger capacity and their luggage has resulted in a large variety of body styles to suit personal requirements such as the sedan/saloon, hatchback, station wagon and Multi-Purpose Vehicle/Minivan.

  8. Impacts to the Environment • Transportation is a major contributor to air pollution in most industrialized nations. • Animal and plants are often negatively impacted by automobiles via habitat destruction and pollution. • Animals are also killed every year on roads by automobiles, referred to as Roadkill. • Growth in the popularity of vehicles and commuting has led to traffic congestion.

  9. Industry • The automotive industry designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and sells the world’s motor vehicles. • In 2008, more than 70 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide.
