Automotive industry

The automotive industry is a major industrial and economic force worldwide. It employs millions of people and the volume of cars and trucks it produces each year accounts for almost half of the world’s consumption of oil. The automotive industry is dynamic, with new technologies and improvements to fuel economy introduced each year to meet the ever-changing demands of the consumer. In an industry so fast moving, there are many factors that can affect sales and profitability; for example, economic fluctuations, changes in government regulations, the occurrence of man-made and natural disasters, vehicle recalls and fraudulent activity, to name just a few. In instances like these, there is often a need to quantify the resulting economic damages.
