GROWTH OF AUTOMOBILE

INDUSTRIES IN THE PAST DECADE

The automobiles sector is compartmentalized
in four different sectors which are as follows:
Two-wheelerswhich comprise of mopeds,

scooters, motorcycles and electric two-

wheelers
Passenger Vehicleswhich include
passenger cars, utility vehicles and multi-
purpose vehicles
Commercial Vehiclesthat are light
andmedium-heavy vehicles
Three Wheelersthat are passenger carriers

and goods carriers.

Teslas mission is to accelerate the worlds transition to sustainable energy.
Tesla Roadster was launched in 2008.
Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and achieving a range
of 245 miles per charge of its lithium ion battery.
In 2012, Tesla launched Model S, the worlds first premium electric
sedan.
Achieving the acceleration of a sports car: 0 to 60 mph in about five
seconds.

 Alternative Fuels
Ethanol is produced domestically from corn and other crops. It
produces less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than gasoline or
diesel.
Electricity is produced domestically from a variety of sources such
as coal, natural gas, nuclear power, and renewables.

Biodiesel is diesel derived from vegetable oils and animal fats. It

usually produces less air pollutants than petroleum-based diesel.

Solar car is one powered by solar energy got from solar panels
present on the car. It is an electric vehicle

Hydrogen Fuel cell vehicles powered by pure hydrogen emit no

harmful air pollutants.

Google Driverless Cars

Car uses a combination of

sensors and software to locate
itself in the real world combined
with highly accurate digital
maps. A GPS is used, just like
the satellite navigation systems
in most cars, to get a rough
location of the car, at which
point radar, lasers and cameras
take over to monitor the world
around the car, 360-degrees.
 Automated Manual Transmission
(AMT)
The electronic
transmission control unit
helps in engaging and
disengaging the clutch
and gear through an
electronic actuator. It
also has a sports mode,
which enables drivers to
move to the manual
shifting of gear to
increase and decrease
the gear ratios with plus
and minus either
through gear knob
/joystick or the steering.
 V2V Communications

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)
communication
technology for light
vehicles. This technology
would allow vehicles to
"talk" to each other and
ultimately avoid many
crashes altogether by
exchanging basic safety
data, such as speed and
position, ten times per
second, to improve
safety.
 Pre-Collision Technology

Helps the driver detect

blind spots, this
technology also alerts
the driver when he/she
is not paying attention
on the road. And if the
driver falls asleep and
does not respond to the
warning, then the
system applies the
brakes on its own. The
driver assist system has
two types of sensors.
 Smart Cars
Google launched its
'Android Auto', a
telematics software that
can be connected to car
dash board for
infotainment. It also
enables the driver to
access GPS, maps,
streaming music,
weather, and a host of
other applications.
Apple announced its
'CarPlay' software, which
allows devices running on
the iOS operating system
to function with built-in
display units of
automobile dashboards.
 Start- Stop Technology

Hero MotoCorp introduced its first bike with start-stop

technology, Splendor iSmart, in March 2014.
The company calls it i3s technology which is also
known as Idle Start and Stop System. i3s is a green
technology that automatically shuts the engine when
idling and turns it on, when needed, with a simple
press of the clutch, giving more mileage in congested
cities.
