Typical economy cars are small compact or subcompact, lightweight, and inexpensive to buy. Economy car designers are forced by stringent design constraints to be inventive. Many innovations in automobile design were originally developed for economy cars, such as the Ford Model T4567 and the Austin Mini. Gordon Murray, the Formula 1 and Mclaren F1 designer, said when designing his new Murray T. I would say that building a car to sell for six thousand pounds and designing that for a high volume production, where you have all the quality issues under control, is a hundred times more difficult than designing a Mclaren F1, or even a racing car. It is certainly the biggest challenge Ive ever had from a design point of view. The alternative approach, other than innovating to build a low cost car, is to build a stripped down, no frills version of a conventional car. DefinitioneditThe precise definition of what constitutes an economy car has varied with time and place, based on the conditions prevailing at the time, such as fuel prices, disposable income of buyers, and cultural mores. In any given decade, there has generally been some rough global consensus on what constituted the minimum necessary requirements for a highway worthy car, constituting the most economical car possible. However, whether that consensus could be a commercial success in any given country depended on local culture. Thus in any given decade, every country has had a rough national consensus on what constituted the minimum necessary requirements for the least expensive car that wasnt undesirable, that is, that had some commercially attractive amount of market demand, making it a mainstream economy car. In many countries at various times, mainstream economy and maximum economy have been one and the same. BackgroundeditFrom its inception into the 1. Ford Model T fulfilled both of these roles simultaneously in the U. S. and in many markets around the world. In Europe and Japan in the 1. Austin 7 and its competitors and derivatives, although it failed to be accepted on the U. S. market even in the middle of the depression. From the 1. 94. 0s and into the 1. Volkswagen Beetle played both roles throughout much of the worldin Germany and Latin America particularlybut it was let down by relatively high fuel consumption, such that British, French, Italian, and Japanese models, all with better fuel economy, could capture the maximum economy position in their home countries which was also mainstream there. Meanwhile, in the U. S., the Beetle and other imports could command the maximum economy position, but the mainstream economy position was commanded by cars that would seem more like mid range or luxury models in some other markets. By the 1. 96. 0s a new wave of front wheel drive cars with all independent suspension had been launched. By the 1. 97. 0s the hatchback had become the standard body type for new economy car models. In 1. 96. 0 1. 99. Soviet Union and then Ukraine was selling economy car Zaporozhets at the end of the 8. ZAZ 1. 10. 2, and VAZ 1. Avto.

Many of these cars were seen as the best value proposition, because they were generally larger cars, for the same price as small western models in the case of the Lada they were let down by very poor fuel economy.

S., and have gone on to be successful around the world. Since the 1. 99. 0s, the automotive industry has become extensively globalized, with all major manufacturers being multinational corporations using globally sourced raw materials and components, with a trend for moving assembly to the lowest labour cost countries. Today, every major manufacturer offers economy cars, including at least one truly small car that may fall into subclassifications such as subcompact car, supermini, B segment city car microcar and others. Features that in one decade were considered luxury items for example, power steering, power servo assisted brakes, air conditioning, electric windows would in later decades be viewed as appropriate as standard equipment even in economy models. Historyedit1. 88. The History of the automobile after many experimental models dating back at least a hundred years, started with the first production car the 1. Benz Tricycle. This began a period that was later known as the Brass era which is considered to be from 1. U. S. 1. 0 In the UK this is split into the pre 1. Veteran era and Edwardian era to 1. Graphicsgale Palettes. The U. S. Veteran era is pre 1. In the 1. 89. 0s and into the first decade of the twentieth century the motorized vehicle was considered a replacement for the carriages of the rich, or simply a dangerous toy, that annoyed and inconvenienced the general public. The period childrens book Wind in the Willows, pokes fun at early privileged motorists. The Automotive industry in France were the world leaders during this period. The Red Flag Act had obstructed automotive development in the UK until it was mostly repealed in 1. The high wheeler was an early car body style virtually unique to the United States. It was typified by large diameter slender wheels, frequently with solid tires, to provide ample ground clearance on the primitive roads in much of the country at the turn of the 2. For the same reason, it usually had a wider track than normal automobiles. The first car to be marketed to the well off but not rich ordinary person and so the first economy car, was the 1. Oldsmobile Curved Dash it was produced by the thousands, with over 1. It was inspired by the buckboard type horse and buggy, used like a small two seat pickup truck popular in rural areas of the U. S. It had two seats, but was less versatile than the vehicle that inspired it. It was produced after a fire at the Oldsmobile plant, when the prototype was saved by a nightwatchman named Stebbins, who later became the Mayor of Detroit, and was the only product available to the company to produce, to get back on their feet. Although cars were becoming more affordable before it was launched, the 1. Ford Model T is considered to be the first true economy car, because the very few previous vehicles at the bottom of the market were horseless carriages rather than practical cars. The major manufacturers at the time had little interest in low priced models. The first real cars had featured the FR layout first used by the French car maker Panhard and so did the Model T. Henry Ford with Model T, 1. Ford assembly line, 1. The magneto assembly line was the first. Henry Ford declared at the launch of the vehicle I will build a car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in Gods great open spaces.
