Exciting Developments in the World of
Mobility History (Part 1 of 2)
The morning session will deal with exciting occurrences of 100
years ago, namely, the state of the industry, the birth of the Model
T Ford and the birth of General Motors. The afternoon session will
deal with the history of engine development, especially how fuel
economy regulations impacted engine design and prompted the
development of hybrid powertrains and how customer desires for
better vehicle performance lead to the development of the Chrysler
¿hemi¿ engine.
