The history of the automobile actually began about 4,000 years ago when the first
wheel was used for transportation in India. Several Italians recorded designs for wind-
driven vehicles. The first was Guido da Vigevano in 1335. It was a windmill-type drive to
gears and thus to wheels. Vaturio designed a similar vehicle that was also never built. Later
Leonardo da Vinci designed clockwork-driven tricycle with tiller steering and a differential
two cultures led to a variety of new technologies, including the creation of a wheel that
turned under its own power. By the 1600s, small steam-powered engine models were
developed, but it was another century before a full-sized engine-powered vehicle was
created.
Although by the mid-15th century the idea of a self-propelled vehicle had been
put into practice with the development of experimental vehicles powered by means of
have built the first true automobile 1769. Designed by Cugnot and constructed by M.
Brezin, it is also the first vehicle to move under its own power for which there is a record.
Cugnot's three-wheeled steam-powered vehicle carried four persons and was meant to
move artillery pieces. It had a top speed of a little more than 3.2 km/h (2 mph) and had to
Evans was the first American who obtained a patent for "a self-propelled
carriage." He, in fact, attempted to create a two-in-one combination of a steam wagon and
a flat-bottomed boat, which didn't receive any attention in those days. During the 1830's,
the steam vehicle had made great advances. But stiff competition from railway
companies and crude legislations in Britain forced the poor steam vehicle gradually out
of use on roads. The early steam-powered vehicles were so heavy that they were only
practical on a perfectly flat surface as strong as iron. A road thus made out of iron rails
became the norm for the next hundred and twenty-five years. The vehicles got bigger and
heavier and more powerful and as such they were eventually capable of pulling a train of
Carl Benz and Gotttlieb Daimler, both Germans, share the credit of changing the
transport habits of the world, for their efforts laid the foundation of the great motor
industry, as we know it today. First, Carl Benz invented the petrol engine in 1885 and a
year later Daimler made a car driven by motor of his own design and the rest is history.
Daimler's engine proved to be a great success mainly because of its less weight
that could deliver 1000 rpm and needed only very small and light vehicles to cany them.
France too had joined the motoring scenario by 1890 when two Frenchmen Pan
hard and Levassor began producing vehicles powered by Daimler engine, and Daimler
himself, possessed by the automobile spirit, went on adding new features to his engine.
He built the first V-Twin engine with a glowing platinum tube to explode the cylinder
gas-the very earliest form of sparking plug. The engines were positioned under the seat in
most of the Daimler as well as Benz cars. However, the French duo of Pan hard and
Levassor made a revolutionary contribution when they mounted the engine in the front of
were in common use: steam engines, gasoline or petrol engines, and electric motors. In
1900, over 2,300 automobiles were registered in New York, Boston, Massachusetts, and
Chicago. Of these, 1,170 were steam cars, 800 were electric cars, and only 400 were
gasoline cars.
In ten years from the invention of the petrol engine, the motorcar had evolved
itself into amazing designs and shapes. By 1898, there were 50 automobile-manufacturing
companies in the United States, a number that rose to 241 by 1908. In that year, Henry Ford
and brought out the Model T, a car that was inexpensive, versatile, and easy to maintain.
The introduction of the Model T transformed the automobile from a plaything of the rich
to an item that even people of modest income could afford; by the late 1920s the car was
Herbert Austin and William Morris, two different carmakers, introduced mass
production methods of assembly in the UK, thus paving the way for *a revolution in the
automobile industry. Austin Seven was the world's first practical four-seated "baby car'
which brought the pleasures of motoring to many thousands of people who could not buy a
larger, more expensive car. Even the 'bull-nose' Morris with front mounted engine
became the well-loved model and one of the most popular cars in the 1920s.
Automobile manufacturers in the 1930s and 1940s refined and improved on the
principles of Ford and other pioneers. Cars were generally large, and many were still
extremely expensive and luxurious; many of the most collectible cars date from this time.
The increased affluence of trie United States after World War II led to the development of
large, petrol-consuming vehicles, while most companies in Europe made smaller, more
fuel-efficient cars. Since the mid-1970s, the rising cost of fuel has increased the demand
for these smaller cars, many of which have been produced in Japan as well as in Europe

highly many companies are aiming for high satisfaction, because customers who are just
satisfied still find it easy to switch when a better offer comes along. Those also are highly

be disappointed.
A customer decision to be loyal or to default is the sum of many small encounters
with the company, consulting firms etc. corporation says that in order to convert all the
Experience".
Customer oriented thinking requires the company to define customer needs from
the customer point of view not from its own point of view. Every product involves trade
offs, and management cannot known what these are without talking 10 and researching
customers. Thus, a car buyer would like a high performance car that never breaks down
that is safe, attractively styled and chief Since, all of them virtues cannot be confined in
one cany the car designer must make hard chooses not on what pleases them but rather on
what customer prefer are expect. The aim, after all, is to make a sale through meeting the
customer’s need.
Basically because of company's sale each period comes from two groups. New
customer and repeat customer. It always cost more to attract new customers than to retain
current customer. Therefore, customer retention is more critical than customer attraction.
The. Key to customer retention is customer satisfaction to satisfied Customer.

One Japanese businessman told the magazines "our aim goes behind satisfying
the customers, our aim is to delight the customer". In fact, this is higher the great
marketers. They go behind meeting the mere expectations of the customers, when they
delight a customer, the customer talks to even more acquaintances about the One
companies. The delighted customers are more effective adventurous than advertisement
Now let us consider what happen when the company creates a dissatisfied
customer. Whereas we have pointed out, a satisfied customer tells three people about a
good product experience, a dissatisfied customer gripes to eleven people. In fact, in one
study, 13% of the people who had a problem with an organization complain about the
company to more than 20 people. Suppose each person who heard the bad story told to
eleven people. Suppose each person who told another eleven and soon. Clearly, bad word
of mouth travels faster an faster than good word of mouth and car easily poison the
cannot rely just on voluntary complain from customers when they are dissatisfied. In fact,
96% of the unhappy customers never tell the company. Companies should set up survey
In this way. The company will learn how we!! It is doing. It is also a major way
for (lie company to learn how to do better. The 3M company claims that over 2/3rd of
of the customers who register a complain between 54 and 70% will do business again
with the organization. If the customer feels that t h e complaint was resolved quickly.
Customers who have complain to an organization and had their complaints satisfactorily
resolved tell about the organization to fine people about the treatment they received.
When a company realizes that a loyal customer may account for a substantially sum of
revenuer over the years, it seems foolish to risk loosing over a small matter, for example,
IBM makes sales person write a full report on each least customer and all the steps are
period and set improvement goals. If they manage to increase customer satisfaction and
loyalty, it docs not have top worry even if its profits are down in a particular year. If is
on the right track satisfaction keeps falling it is on the working track. Profit would go up
or down in a particular year for many reasons, inclosing rising controls, falling prices,
major new investments and soon. But, the ultimate sign of a healthy company is that its
