For years environmentalists have been screaming about going green, recycling and reusing products, and so forth. So the idea of our vehicles using alternative fuel sources would be a welcomed change. With the dozen of vehicles and fuel sources being introduced, it is now a possibility to add alternative fuel vehicles to our rental car fleet. Through this presentation, gasoline and alternative fuel vehicles will be fully outlined; the history, the sources of fuel, and consumer incentives will all be explained.

Ford Motor Company has been and till the date is known as the king of innovations in the automobile industry. Their research & development department and innovation of interchangeable parts in moving assembly lines resulted in extraordinary global extension for them. They are an old heritage who ruled and still doing impressive jobs in the global automobile market. Some prestigious motor brands are also owned by Ford.

Even today Henry Ford’s strategies and beliefs are being reflected in the Ford’s corporate strategies. Main feature of all Ford’s brands is their reliability, high quality and innovativeness.

Out of all the new industries, the automobile was an essential one. It was the development that changed American lives in the 20th century the most. Henry Ford was the person who revolutionised the large-scale manufacturing of vehicles. He utilised the assembly line idea for automobile production. The critically acclaimed assembly line allowed for manufacturing companies to create the extra product to sell, one of these products was your everyday automobiles. The model T Ford was the most well-known car at the time with more than fifteen million being sold across the country by 1927. It was the first car to be

In researching the data, I discovered that the use of biodiesel is an alternative fuel source as well. This fuel, a 20/80 mixture, does not require any type of retrofitting of the engine. This product has the added ability of cleaning out the particles that have built up by the use of using diesel fuel throughout the engine and fuel system. These particles are expelled via the exhaust or fuel filter. The only cost that will incur would be the cost to replace the fuel filter during the initial uses of the product until the entire system is clean. (Biodiesel facts, et. al, 2012)

The blueprints for modern cars were perfected by the Germans and the French in the late 1800’s. In the first part of the 1900’s Americans dominated the industry. A man by the name of Henry Ford created mass-production techniques that became standard for three companies. Those three companies were Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. They were the biggest companies by the 1920s. During World War II and afterward car production by the Europeans and Japanese soared.

Henry Ford created a way to manufacture cars that would change America’s manufacturing process for the better, a method that to this day is still being used to this day.

jump from 6 mile engines made from steam, to a 112 mile car. Moving onto a more modern and still to this day invention, Henry Ford started Ford Motor Company. By no means did Henry Ford have anything to do with the actual invention of the car, however he was the first person to sell an affordable automobile in America. Although he was not the innovator of the car, he still played a significant role in making the car industry become massive. Henry Ford had finally found a way to build an affordable car for everyone, and give Americans a great method of transportation.

Henry Ford was one of the first successful manufacturers to make a durable vehicle that was affordable for everyone can drive. He started his company from winning a race to being the most famous international manufacture. Today his vehicles are used through law enforcement and the military. Ford's company was produced through his defeat of the top racecar driver, creates his first international company, and then produces the Model T Ford that brings the company to massive heights in the manufacturing business.

Henry Ford: The Industrial Innovator Henry Ford’s famous words, “Don’t find fault, find a remedy,” played a key role in his success in the automotive industry (“Brainy Quote”). With his own words to live by, along with his innovative mind, Henry Ford was able to produce a middle class car that was affordable (York). He was a man who was always willing to put in the time to produce the best product (York). His continual dedication and attention to detail led to Henry Ford’s success as engineer and later founder of the Ford Motor Company (York).

In the early 1900s, the automotive industry was a burgeoning business with many competitors trying to out-do each other. Companies rose and fell on a regular basis. By 1903, 214 different companies had arisen in America to manufacture the automobile. However, by 1904, at least 84 of those had either ceased to exist or changed to a different line of work. (Ford, 234) When he joined the ranks of manufacturers in 1903, Henry Ford was determined to make his company work.

Henry Ford expressed his idea and thoughts on how to make his automobile company better and how to overcome and potential challenges that are about to come his way. Ford was a great contributor to America in both World Wars as he helped provide planes and vehicles to help them on the lines and with transportation. His company expanded and over 200,000 cars during the time period of the war. By the mid-1920s, sales of the Model T began to decline due to rising competition. By 1926, flagging sales of the Model T finally convinced Henry to make a new model.

Henry Ford’s legacy began early whenever he created a self propelled wagon, but his work began to get notoriety in October of 1908 with the introduction of the Model T. This car was the first of its kind, and was fully manufactured by Ford in the United States. Henry’s goal was to produce a car that was affordable to every household income. “The Model T made its debut in 1908 with a purchase price of $825.00. Over ten thousand were sold in its first year, establishing a new record. Four years later the price dropped to $575.00 and sales soared. By 1914, Ford could claim a 48% share of the automobile market.” (Sorenson, "Henry Ford Changes the World, 1908.") The original price was in the average household’s budget, but when the price dropped four years later there was a ten times increase in the amount of Model T’s sold.
