Description
The 20th century witnessed the most dramatic transformation in human mobility since the invention of the wheel-and the automobile was its beating heart. Engines of Change tells the gripping story of how key technological breakthroughs shaped the modern world, one innovation at a time. From Henry Ford's assembly line and the V8 engine's raw power to the aerodynamic Chrysler Airflow and the quiet revolution of the Toyota Prius, this book explores the machines, minds, and moments that redefined how we move.
Written in a rich, fact-driven narrative style, this compelling chronicle follows the century's most pivotal developments in automotive engineering. Discover how wartime ingenuity drove peacetime mobility, how racing tech filtered into family cars, and how crises like the oil embargo and Dieselgate forced reinvention.
Whether you're a lifelong petrolhead or a curious reader fascinated by technology and society, Engines of Change offers a panoramic journey through the innovations that made the 20th century the age of the automobile.
