L'AUTOMOBILE E LA SFIDA ELETTRICA
GUERRE, CRISI E BATTAGLIE DELL'AUTO NEL NUOVO SECOLO
The history of the automobile can be seen according to two closely intertwined threads: the evolution of products and that of manufacturing processes.
If Germany is the father of petrol cars and France the mother, the son that developed the car from a luxury product into a mass product were the United States of America.
Mass motorisation led to oil starvation and energy crises and revealed the limitations of the petrol car. The development of lithium-ion battery technology and electrification now offer the possibility denied in the past: the electric car.
The electric engine is a complex product, whose development requires both scientific and practical know-how. The electric car is a catalyst for new technologies that will involve the whole society.
The role of government in setting standards, regulations, subsidies and the general direction of the car industry will be decisive.
The traumatic impact on the labour market will be inevitable. Each transition from one form of production to another involves industrial crises, capital mergers and new skills of the labour force.
