Germany is globally famous for producing cars and the automotive industry is considered as one of the best and largest industry in the world. The automotive industry is producing different types of cars and has created employment for nearly a million of people across the country. German automobile produces modern, stylish, and well-designed cars, and the features are competitive too in the European countries. The production of automobiles in Germany boomed after the 1960s and the expansion is still in progress. The most notable cars are Audi, BMW, Ford, Porsche, Volkswagen, Opel, Mercedes-Benz etc

Mostly the cars are used for personal transportation. According to the demand by the buyers, sometimes the cars are customised and special features are added in the vehicles. At times, some special types of sports cars are made to be used in car races across the world. Then the cars are made with special care and prices also go up for the extraordinary characteristics. But the manufacturers also produce cars for massive transportation like highway bus that carries passengers from one place to another inside or outside of the country. Interestingly, some of the people place orders for sports cars for their personal use by spending a huge sum of money. Whatever the prices are, the vehicles support the users for longer periods

In the early days, the cars were made on hand and using few employees but with the change of time the demands of the cars have increased greatly and thus the making process has also been mechanised. Technologically advanced machines are used to make almost all the parts of a car and some of the workers are used to assemble the parts together. Commonly, some employees are engaged in the assembling of specific parts using a conveyer belt. The car body stops at different stations on a conveyer belt and then the expert hands join the parts with machines and tools. When the assembly in done for any specific part, the body moves forward to the next station

The workers are split into several units under a division to assemble the body parts and thus the assembly is done. However, the assembly requires a substantial amount of time as a car is made of numerous specialised metal parts, tools and instruments including electronic circuits, plastics materials, rubber tires, glass and many other things. When all the elements are assembled together, the car turns into a full functioning vehicle
