At each vehicle, accessories are designed to improve handling and ride comfort and to provide the necessary working conditions.

Depending on the brand of the machine and its model, the list of optional equipment may contain different items. In car dealerships, you can find cars that can additionally be equipped with a refrigerator, radio, cruise control, air conditioning, satellite alarms, and so on.

In modern auto production, additional equipment for cars includes such items as interior heating systems, windshield washers and wipers, electric headlight range adjustments, heated seats, windows and mirrors, power windows and many other devices.

One can say that in the basic configuration, which does not require the installation of additional equipment, the car is "empty". If everything that can be installed is installed on the machine, then it will be fully equipped.

It is worth noting that additional equipment began to be installed on cars not so long ago. Cars of classes A-C were sold almost at cost, since there was a lot of competition. These were ordinary vehicles with no zest. Marketers decided to change the situation and offered to install additional equipment for the car, which was previously only available for the premium or luxury class.

The list of additional equipment includes electric rear window heating. Drivers of older cars can talk about the inconvenience caused by fogged or frozen rear windows while driving. Some of the motorists even tried to install fans to blow warm air on the rear window.

Power windows are also additional equipment of the car, which was installed one of the first. If you look closely, you can do without it

get by, but on the other hand, this is a very funny and interesting thing, because you do not need to turn the knob, just press the button.

Remembering the first additional equipment, it is worth mentioning the wiper and washer, which began to be installed on the rear doors of cars. It should be noted here that over time, some of the additional equipment became standard equipment.

Thus, the idea of installing additional equipment on cars increased their cost by 30, or even all70 percent, but this did not negatively affect demand, as fewer people wanted to buy a car “without anything.”

However, such devices do not always find supporters and consumers. There is such additional equipment of the car that not everyone needs. For example, an enlarged fuel tank is suitable for those who use their car intensively, as this allows them to visit gas stations less frequently. In addition, there are many more equipment that are not at all equally useful for all drivers.
