The automotive industry is facing new and pressing challenges. Globalization, individualizations, digitalization and increasing competition are pressing the face of the industry. In addition, increasing safety requirements and voluntary environmental commitments by the automotive industry have also contributed to the changes ahead. Being a large automobile firm does not guarantee success. Only those companies that are able to innovate and find new ways to create value are able to prosper in this market. The purpose of this paper is to present a short overview of the automotive industry today and highlight challenges that the industry is facing. Global sales of passenger cars are forecast to hit 78.6 million vehicles in 2017. Along with China, the United States is counted among the largest automobile markets worldwide, both in terms of production and sales.
Factors Influencing Automobile industry - The global automotive industry is subjected to a range of factors that are increasing complexity and influencing the economic options available to automobile manufacturers. The majority of these factors interacts with one another and has strong interdependencies. However, some of these factors are market-induced and, consequently, cannot be influenced directly by the automobile manufacturers. These factors include:
Pervasion of automobiles with digital technology - In 2002, digital technology in cars already averaged 22 per cent of the total value of a car, with a forecasted increase to 35 per cent of the total value in 2010. The integration of hardware and software into automobiles might have increased the functionality of the car but has increased the complexity of the machine. This complexity results in overstrained car development departments, product failures, a cost explosion with respect to guarantee and warranty costs, and impact on customer satisfaction.
Increased pressure for innovation and flexibility in development and manufacturing - Development departments are not just overburdened by the complexity of digital technology, but also by the shortening of product lifecycles. Another aspect is the increasing number of parallel development projects since companies develop more and more niche models for special target groups. This certainly requires the use of new development techniques such as virtual reality.
The Challenge of Competitive Environment - The question of how a company can remain competitive in the face of the unexpected and fast transformations taking place in the automotive industry is very important. The only way to succeed is by being focused, responsive, variable and resilient, which can be accomplished by converting to an on demand company. Adapting to the ever- changing environment has become the core business requirement, having problem-solving tools and methods to be identified, selected and implemented as fast as possible. Focused, responsive, variable and resilient are different behaviours required to become more adaptable behaviour’ s whose features correspond with the exigencies of the business objective. Transforming this analogy to business, a car manufacturer has seven major strategic levers to enable such adaptive behaviour.
Customer relationship management– It relates to all aspects of interaction that a company has with its customer, whether it is sales or service-related. CRM helps a company become focused on customer requirements.
Core competency management – It is the combination of pooled knowledge and technical capacity that allows a business to be competitive in the marketplace. Core competency management allows a company to focus on its internal strengths and become more variable and resilience by entering into strategic partnerships with suppliers with competencies in new technologies or niche operations.
Software management – Software management is a key to making a company focused on software standardization and strategic partnerships, which helps the business to become variable and resilient.
Product development management – Managing product development together with a focus on broadening competencies in new technologies will help enable organization to become more variable by the optimization of collaborative engineering. Increased resilience can be achieved by standardized processes and the extended use of virtual testing. Decentralized and regionalized development activities will help to increase responsiveness to customers’ desires.
From some of the above factors can be concluded to be able to adapt to the automotive market company that there must be the development of technology virual car and customer service with car or passenger service or spare parts or more innovate to serve better consumers. Innovation can be done for better customer service by using Uservice with uremont.com project.
Uservice is an online service that allows registration of transactions and operations by car on a contract basis. For more details please go to the following link Uservice (https://usrv.io/) or see explanation about uservis below.

Uservice is a service that is not only used to register operations and agreements between drivers and car service stations. In the Usevice system there is a new ecosystem consisting of driver services, collection and analysis of statistical data, and the creation of new business processes in the automotive industry. For example drivers, dealers, insurance companies, auto repair shops, car groups and digital solution providers can connect to the System and offer their services, which will increase the value of blockchain.

Platform based on the Ethereum blockchain which will use smart-contract. Ethereum technology allows registering of any kind of Blockchain without using standard legal procedures. All operations with cars will be clear, controllable and safe.
UST Token
By incorporating an internal UST token into our ecosystem we created the mechanism of the community participants’ cooperation under the common platform rules.
Token Rate
UST tokens will be issued in a selected number during token sale. We expect that the number of participants in our platform will be growing, and as a result we will have UST token cost increase (because UST token uses disinflation model to work).
UST tokens will allow you to:
- Make payments inside Uservice community
- Exchange UST tokens into USX tokens
USX Token
We will launch another token (USX) in 2019. It will be available for purchase using UST tokens inside our platform. Using all the necessary procedures we will validate this token as a security of Uservice Company.
In 2020 Uservice Company will perform IPO when USX token holders can become real co-owners of Uservice. The USX token holders will be provided with 20% of share in Uservice Company.
USX token will be created only under favorable legal terms for its legitimate acceptance as a crypto-value security in Uservice Company seat of business jurisdiction.
Token exchange
- UST and USX token exchange will take place inside Uservice platform at any time with no fee charged.
- UST token can be sold/purchased on the major crypto-currency exchanges
As a majority of other tokens, we expect quick growth of UST token value during the first few days of listing. Any further growth of the token will be enforced by the increase of the platform participants number.

Token sale
The Key Differences of Our Token Sale
1. The Uservice Project is being built up based on the existing business
According to our data about 80% of all token sale are just concepts which can never be realized. Only 20% of the startups which began token sale campaigns are able to present the actual product to customers. Investing in startups which are not enforced with the existing solutions is a highly risky venture.
The Uservice is being built up based on the existing www.uremont.com project, which demonstrates highly dynamic marketing expansion. Therefore Uservice is committed to provide our community and its participants with the most favorable terms for cooperation and profit earning as a part of its financial policy.
2. Large Investors Have Trust In Us
Nakamoto Capital investment fund, a number of cryptocurrency exchanges and other institutional investors have expressed their consent to begin investing in our Project during the token sale phase.
The Token Sale Process
During token sale UST tokens will be available at fixed rate. We expect to issue 1,000,000,000 UST tokens in total. 56% of them will be available for sale during the token sale, and 4% will be sold during the Pre-Sale.
Out of the remaining 40% of tokens, 10% will be shared between the team members, 20% of tokens will be used to support platform operation, and the remaining 10% will be distributed between our advisers and participants of our Bounty program. UST token is based on the Ethereum Platform and the ERC20 Token Standard Interface. ERC 20 Interface allows every token sale participant to use any Ethereum Client (eg. Mist or MyEtherWallet)
