AUTOMOBILE ENGINEER
Categories of automobile:-
Introduction:-
Automobile engineers design, test, develop and manufacture automotive products such as heavy and light vehicles. They help the automotive industry to meet new challenges, for example, making sure that vehicles are safe, environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient. They work not just on cars and commercial vehicles but also buses, coaches, tanks and racing cars.
WORK ACTIVITIES:-
Designing and developing a vehicle involves a very wide range of engineering knowledge. For example, automobile engineers use their knowledge of mechanical engineering , combustion, vehicle structures and aerodynamics . They also need knowledge of computers and electronic and electrical systems, which are all becoming increasingly sophisticated in modern vehicles. For example, some cars now have computer-controlled engine systems and digital display dashboards.
Some automobile engineers specialise in design (they may be known as design engineers). The average motor vehicle has around 10,000 individual parts and each must be designed, developed and manufactured. Design engineers need to take into account factors such as the strength, safety, efficiency, appearance and cost of parts. Many design engineers use computer-aided design (CAD) technology in their work, allowing them to create and change designs much more quickly than in the days of drawing boards. After design, they need to turn plans into prototypes
1. Luxury Cars - This is a traditional class of cars most people recognize. Luxury cars have been available as long as cars have been around. These cars offer more comfortable surroundings and options than standard cars and are usually larger than other vehicles. Usually luxury cars fall in brand-specific categories, meaning they are manufactured under nameplates that deal exclusively in this class of vehicles. Examples of luxury cars include most cars built by Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Cadillac
