“…Ford, much like Fairchild, was a pioneering American corporation that birthed an entire industry. By 1921, Ford's Model T jwsr.pitt.edu | DOI 10.5195/JWSR.2023.1189 had a 60 percent market share in the global automobile industry, a significant monopoly (Bharadwaj 2018). By the end of the 1920s, Chrysler and General Motors, both American as well, entered the picture and together with Ford they dominated the automobile industry for decades, collectively referred to as the "Big Three."…”

“…This early era of American dominance was built on petrol-engine based vehicles. The development of the diesel engine, then, in the 1930s, came as a major game-changer over time, with its early adoption by many up-and-coming competitors such as Citroen in France, Mercedes-Benz in Germany, Fiat in Italy, and Rover and Austin in the UK over the following decades (Bharadwaj 2018). The simple adoption of this new technology was alone insufficient, though, in immediately breaking the hegemony of the American Big Three, which continued through to the 1960s.…”

“…Post-World War II damages and restrictions (in varying degrees in Europe and Japan) meant that in the first two decades of the post-war era, American hegemony only strengthened globally, and producers across Europe were left to manufacture for-at best-their own domestic markets. It was the dramatic spike in the cost of petrol and the Oil Crises of the 1970s, along with rising public awareness regarding environmentalism that caused a sudden rise in the demand for smaller, diesel-powered, fuelefficient vehicles that were being built in Europe and Japan (Bharadwaj 2018). In addition, invitations by governments in the semi-periphery such as Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, and so on to set-up both integrated production of older models as well as CKD assembly factories were taken up by European and Japanese competition following in the footsteps of the earlier offshoring practices of the American Big Three (who actually offshored to fellow core nations initially).…”

Drawing upon both classic and more contemporary world-systems analysis, along with oft-forgotten sections of Arghiri Emmanuel’s work on technology, this paper studies, through a quantitative and qualitative comparative method, the history and development of the global semiconductors industry, its selective spatial re-organization/peripheralization over time, and the logic of technology transfers within the context of core-monopolization of high profit industries. The paper then draws comparisons between semiconductors and prior core-monopolized industries like the automobile industry, and analyzes attempts at entry into core-like production by the large semi-peripheries such as China and India and the difficulties faced by them not only by the structural limitations of the world-system but also due to opposition from the core nations (like the U.S.-China Trade War). Resultingly, the analysis concludes that significant upward mobility for the large semi-peripheries through entry into core industries is, within the current capitalist world-system, largely unfeasible.

“…Back propagation is known to reduce the gradient by three different stages, including forward propagation, step propagation step and weight change and bias stage. There are three distinct network activity layers, which include the layer of input, the secret layer and the layer of output [15]. The process of BPNN is explained as follows:…”

The automobile industry is one of India’s main economic sectors. In recent decades India has attracted many global players in the automobile industry. The industry has significantly benefited from an increase in the paying capacity of the consumers. This has contributed to increased competition in the market. Given that the automobile industry is a very complex process, a tool to predict the future of automotive demand from the modeling point of view is needed because of its high level of complexity and uncertainty. This study aims to introduce a novel integrated model with a combination of Adaptive Multiplicative Triple Exponential Smoothing Holt-Winters (AHW) method and Backpropagation Neural Networks (BPNNs) to improve the likelihood of predicting automobile sales accurately. This study is subject to continue validating a model in real-world automobile selling data against existing methods. This model also incorporates the linear and non-linear characteristics of AHW and BPNN, respectively to form a synergistic model. The proposed model has the higher capability to provide reasonable accuracy in forecasting future sales in terms of average prediction accuracy of 0.974637 than the existing methods namely BPNN 0.9483 and ANN 0.9275. For training and testing purposes, validation is done using the Indian automobile sales data. Finally, the regression fit shows that during the test stage in the car sales data for the period 2016-2017 and 2017-2018, the proposed integrated model is better than the conventional method.

“…"Replacing high density ones (such as steel) with low-density materials to manufacture different parts of e is one of the issues that are pursued to achieve foregoing goals" [1]. There have been significant sustainability improvements designed around "tightening environmental regulations" [2]. It is important for modern materials to be both strong and light as a lighter car will "consume less fuel and emit less harmful substances."…”

As automotive technology continues to advance; the industry is confronted with the ongoing challenge of improving car performance while maintaining safety and structural integrity. This long-standing challenge in the field of automotive technology may soon find a solution through the emergence of carbon fiber composite materials, potentially ushering in a new era of material dominance. Carbon fiber composites possess exceptional strength and extreme stiffness compared to metals, yet they exhibit a much lower density 80% less than steel. This unique combination of properties makes carbon fiber a possible alternative for automobile materials. Moreover, carbon fiber is a more sustainable material compared to traditional metals, offering environmental benefits. It also enables more efficient manufacturing techniques, contributing to reduced energy consumption and waste production. The present study investigates the feasibility of utilizing carbon fiber as the primary material for future automobiles, exploring the intricate aspects of its manufacturing process and examining the wide range of applications associated with this new material. By investigating carbon fiber's potential, the automotive industry could unlock many new opportunities for improved vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, and sustainability.
