Today there are numerous car manufacturers
spread across the globe, producing thousands of
different makes and models of cars. Ironically, the
three nations with the largest presence in the
global automobile market are China, the United
States of America and Japan, and none had no
part in the invention of the automobile.

The first automobile was built in 1769. It was a
steam powered vehicle built by French inventor,
Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot. In 1807, another French
inventor, Francois Isaac de Rivaz designed the
first internal combustion engine. Fuelled by
hydrogen and equipped with an electric ignition,
the engine was fitted to a rudimentary vehicle
chassis, thus creating the first internal combustion
powered car.

It wasn't until 1886 that the first gasoline powered
automobile, the Benz Patent-Motorwagen was invented
by Karl Friedrich Benz. A German engine designer and
automobile engineer, Karl Benz is credited with being
the inventor of the first gasoline internal combustion
engine. Together with financier and future wife, Bertha
Benz, Karl Benz helped found the company that today
manufacturers the iconic Mercedes-Benz brand of luxury
cars.

After World War Two, the USA was the major
automobile manufacturer on the planet, producing more
than 50% of all passenger and utility vehicles. As Europe
and Japan recovered from the devastation caused by the
war, manufacturing increased and automobile production
outside the USA began to chip away at USA vehicle
production. During the 50s through 70s the USA focused
on large, powerful cars, while Japanese and European
manufactures produced small, fuel efficient cars and
trucks to fill domestic demand.

The fuel shortages of the post war era in the recovering economies
of Europe and Japan necessitated production of smaller, light
weight, fuel efficient automobiles. With the rising oil prices seen in
the 70s, foreign car manufacturers were well placed to introduce
makes and models of cars to the USA market that were less costly
to operate. Imports drastically reduced US automobile
manufacturers' share of the domestic market and further ate away
at USA vehicle export numbers. The slowness of American
automobile manufacturers to react to the shift in consumer demand
brought on by high fuel costs gave foreign manufacturers a
foothold in the USA that has been built upon ever since.

In the 80s US automobile manufacturers again missed a market
shift that cause further erosion of their domestic market share. This
time the fault was in design. Foreign automotive designs, still
focused on fuel efficiency, became more aerodynamic, producing
sleeker, more esthetic vehicles. US automobile manufacturers
continued producing heavier, boxy looking vehicles well into the
80s. Sales of US built cars dropped off drastically as a result.
Japanese and European built cars became the preferred choice for
affordability, while high end German built cars captured a larger
share of the USA luxury car market. Most of the US car
manufacturers would have gone out of business during this period
if not for federal government assistance.

Through the late 80s and throughout the 90s a shift in USA automobile
manufacturers' designs took place to address the shortcomings of
domestic auto brands. Domestic market share increased, but export
markets that were lost proved difficult to recover. However, a solution
was at hand. Although USA car manufacturers taking over competing
companies had been a business strategy ever since the industries early
days, the mid to late 80s and 90s saw an increase in US companies
merging with, buying into or taking over foreign car manufacturers.
Already deeply in debt, many analysts saw this new business strategy as
being ill advised. The analysts were proven wrong in the case of General
Motors and Ford. Chrysler's fortunes were up and down until finally the
company merged with Fiat to form Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

Chinese automobiles have yet to make any inroads into
the North American market but are growing in market
share on every other continent. Facing the same
emissions and vehicle safety hurdles all automobile
exporters faced when trying to secure a foothold in the
USA, Chinese vehicle brands may one day be available
in the USA. Updates on new car releases, future vehicles,
