History
Which industrialist introduced a mobile assembly line in 1913 to produce the Ford Model T?
Correct answer Henry Ford
Fact
Did you know?
The Ford Model T was launched in 1908 with the aim of making the automobile accessible to a wider audience. Henry Ford did not invent mass production or the assembly line, but his company combined and perfected methods already used in other industries. In 1913, the Highland Park plant introduced a moving assembly line that greatly reduced the time required to manufacture a vehicle. Economies of scale then made it possible to reduce the price of the Model T. The date of 1913 must be distinguished from the launch of the model in 1908 to avoid confusing product and production method.
