Automobile Engineering is a branch of vehicle engineering which includes elements of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and safety engineering as applied to the design, manufacture and operation of motorcycles, automobiles, buses and trucks and their respective engineering subsystems. Automobile Engineering is also known as Automotive Engineering. The field of activity of a qualified engineer in automobile engineering contains development (construction, calculation and testing), priming of work, fabrication and observation of the functionality of vehicles for street and rails. The automobile industry can be widely divided into car manufacturing, heavy vehicle manufacturing and two-wheeler manufacturing. For working this industry, one requires a skilled and trained manpower with good technical knowledge. Several foreign companies have their investments in Indian automobile industry. India is the major three-wheeler market and two-wheeler manufacturer in the world. It is also the second largest manufacturer of tractors.
