  • Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Automobility in China Dr. Toni Marzotto
    Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Automobility in China Dr. Toni Marzotto “The mountains are high and the emperor is far away.” (Chinese Proverb)1 Title: The Rise of China's Auto Industry: Automobility with Chinese Characteristics Curriculum Project: The project is part of an interdisciplinary course taught in the Political Science Department entitled: The Machine that Changed the World: Automobility in an Age of Scarcity. This course looks at the effects of mass motorization in the United States and compares it with other countries. I am teaching the course this fall; my syllabus contains a section on Chinese Innovations and other global issues. This project will be used to expand this section. Grade Level: Undergraduate students in any major. This course is part of Towson University’s new Core Curriculum approved in 2011. My focus in this course is getting students to consider how automobiles foster the development of a built environment that comes to affect all aspects of life whether in the U.S., China or any country with a car culture. How much of our life is influenced by the automobile? We are what we drive! Objectives and Student Outcomes: My objective in teaching this interdisciplinary course is to provide students with an understanding of how the invention of the automobile in the 1890’s has come to dominate the world in which we live. Today an increasing number of individuals, across the globe, depend on the automobile for many activities. Although the United States was the first country to embrace mass motorization (there are more cars per 1000 inhabitants in the United States than in any other country in the world), other countries are catching up.

  • History of Pakistan's Automobile Industry
    History of Pakistan’s Automobile Industry Following international trends, the automobile industry in Pakistan showed substantial growth in the years under review. The growth was aided by favorable government policies during this period and levy of lower import duties on raw material inputs and on intermediate products. A significant rise in demand for automobiles, propelled at least partly by easy availability of auto leases and loans from banks and leasing companies at low financial cost, was instrumental in the fast growth of the sector. The expansion in the sector, besides boosting the country‟s industrial output, also provided significant direct and indirect employment opportunities. In the past years, there has been a high growth of more than 40 percent per year in the automobile market. The growth declined somewhat in 2008 and 2009 due mainly to a dip in demand because of rising prices and lease financing becoming expensive for the consumers. Pakistan Car Industry The first automobile plant was set up in May 1949 by General Motor & Sales Co. It was set up on an experimental basis, however grew into an assembly plant. Seeing such progress, three major auto manufacturers from the US collaborated with Pakistani business men to set up; Ali Automobiles to manufacture Ford Products in 1955, Haroon Industries to assemble Chrysler Dodge cars in 1956, Khandawalla Industries to assemble American Motor Products in 1962, and Mack Trucks Plant in 1963. However towards the end of the seventies all automobile assembly in Pakistan stopped, until 1983 when Pak Suzuki started manufacturing their vehicles in Pakistan. Further Toyota Indus Motors was set up in 1990, followed by Honda.
