The article is incorrect in stating that "But actually, of all the automotive entrepreneurs of the turn of the century, only Ford and Mercedes survived"
Off the top of my head automotive companies that were around at the turn of the century and are still around:
Peugeot, Renault, Fiat, MAN and Opel
(the latter two are owned by other companies now)
- fr0sty 13y agoOut of your list only Opel really qualifies as an "autmotive entrepreneur". It may have been left off the list because it has been owned by General Motors since the 20's. Companies like Peugeot, Renault, and Fiat produce a very wide array of non-automotive products. MAN Group was founded in the 1700s and while "truck building activities" commenced in 1903 it was hardly the lion's share of their business.
