created in 1909 by german and french politicians. airbus is now headquartered in the netherlands with major production sites in france germany spain the u.k. as well as china and the u.s. the company employs some 130000 people and has built 12000 commercial jets so far in fact it's best selling a $320.00 is in service so much one of them is landing somewhere in the world every 2 and a half seconds. one dominant theme runs through the history of the company its competition with american plan builder boeing the rivalry between the 2 aircraft makers has propelled both to major innovations but at times has also cost them dearly for both the a 380 a direct competitor to boeing's dreamliner became the company's biggest corporate failure the 25000000000 euro program was scrapped last year after airlines lost

interest in the supersize jet and its anniversary year airboats seems more focused on its future than its history among the challenges the company faces are changing every asian market environmental concerns new technologies and brags it's. just a few challenges they're facing air bus when it comes to climate protection big vehicles traveling long distances like transport trucks or a bit of a dilemma that's because much harder to power something so big and environmentally friendly way but there are some novel ideas coming from scandinavia take a look. the main problem with electric drive trucks is that their brain just just. reset just mistah crime might have been they've developed the world's 1st test road for braille based electric trucks alegria your day as. the truck gets electricity from this rail impeach at the electricity would come from renewable sources it's a cost effective and simple system. the truck can also disconnect from
