We continue to locate any type of machine designed by man to satisfy some of his activities in any aspect, this tour has the purpose of highlighting the influence of these machines in our lives, and also, this achieved thanks to the technological advances through time and as we have expressed, these advances linked to the knowledge acquired by science.

We have already spoken of important machines that generate some type of mobility, among which we have; the fan, bicycle, motorcycle, where, each one of these machines has required of essential mechanisms for its good operation and with it to fulfill its purpose, expressing in addition that each component of these machines has been more and more novel thanks to the obtaining of new materials.

In this opportunity we will speak of a machine or vehicle of four wheels, that any of us in some opportunity have been able to observe it, to take a walk in it or even to drive it, and as they visualized it in the presentation of this publication it is the recognized automobile Volkswagen Beetle model, this type of vehicle machine stands out in our history for being very popular in the whole planet, managing to sell more than 21.000.000 of units, and the same one was stopped making in the year of 2003.

That is why when referring to the history of the car in general, it is important to place the Volkswagen as a point of reference in terms of the impact and influence that this vehicle managed to have, and even many people around the world still keep it in good condition and excellent performance, its popularity led to the films, magazines and books that have traveled around the world.

Volkswagen Beetle

Our scientific-technological evolution has led us to develop machines that some years ago were unthinkable that could be designed or manufactured, machines that have left their traces in our so rich industrial history, and one of them represents the Volkswagen car, which in our Latin America we generally call "Vocho" or simply beetle, because of its peculiar physical structure.

In part of the history of this car, we can say that the purpose of its creation was to be an accessible car for any family in Nazi Germany, as in this country began the production of it, where Volks refers to people and Wagen to wagon, ie the people's car or rather the people's car, and throughout history it proved so, as despite being a car with quite basic features managed to become a very popular vehicle worldwide.

A look beyond the car

It is important to be able to look beyond any type of machine or vehicle in this case, that is, each vehicle is generally designed for transport purposes as its main purpose, however, on the other hand, we must highlight the great impact that the automotive sector has on the economy worldwide, in short we can say that this sector drives the economy in each country of the world, since in addition to generating direct jobs it also does so indirectly.

We can find the above described in our history, because with the culmination of the war, Germany was desolate, Henry Ford, as well as other German entrepreneurs could realize the coming financial benefits that would achieve with the Volkswagen car, because in this way would be established jobs necessary for the economic stability of that nation in ruins, the Volkswagen company is one of the car companies that currently sell large numbers of vehicles per year.

Conclusion

The Volkswagen or people's car, became for its time a very useful option for many families in the world, this characteristic achievement that these vehicles were built in mass and thus positioning itself as the most commercialized car in the world, winning by then to Ford, this vehicle (the beetle) comes to the United States in 1949, an American society which thought that no car of foreign origin could become better than their vehicles.

But the Volkswagen managed to reach both their hearts and especially their pockets, this allowed the manufacturer of this car opened more manufacturing plants in other parts of the continent reaching countries like Brazil and Mexico large markets for the sale of this machine, Mexico due to its large production managed to establish itself as one of the most important factories on the planet.

We can say, that this machine represented a true icon in the world of the automobile in all the history of the humanity, emphasizing that the last of these small and so dear vehicles was made in Puebla, Mexico, a 30 of July of year 2003, counting this way a total of 21,529,464 units designed from its important beginning in the automotive world.

For not being able to meet the minimum requirements with regard to the emission of gases and safety, the so acclaimed Volkswagen Beetle model comes to an end, highlighting that many experts for that time considered that it was when this vehicle was more quoted, so we could take a walk in our famous Volkswagen Beetle model.

Until another time my dear and appreciated readers.
