Kind Attention: The Marketing Manager Object: Proposal for associating with TEAM LAKSHYA for Competing at SAE

INDIA EFFICYCLE EVENT 2010. RESPECTED Sir We are a team of learning engineers from CHITKARA INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY, Punjab taking part in the SAE INDIA EFFICYCLE EVENT 2010 being organized by SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS (SAE) INDIA at UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY, PUNJAB UNIVERSITY, CHANDIGARH and we would like you to get involved in this event with us. The team has also participated in HUMAN POWERED VEHICLE CHALLENGE (HPVC) WEST AMERICAS 2010 organized by AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, (ASME) at CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, USA in April 2010. For more than 100 years running, the SAE has challenged the future engineers to design, build and drive an efficient, two seater, sustainable, highly engineered and practical human powered vehicle. This Event is the first Human Powered Vehicle Event & also the first ECO-FRIENDLY Event in the country. This year around 24 teams from across the nation are competing to develop the worlds most fuel efficient fitness machine. Our team has been working hard for the past two months and we are anxiously awaiting the event in OCTOBER (23rd 24th October). We had also designed and fabricated a SUPERMILEAGE VEHICLE last year and participated in SHELL ECOMARATHON AMERICAS 2009 held at California, USA in which we were awarded by the award PERSEVERANCE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY. The vehicle was also showcased at AUTO EXPO 2010 where it was appreciated by all including Mr. RATAN TATA, CHAIRMAN, TATA GROUP. We are sure that this Human Powered Vehicle named STALLION 2 will attract a large amount of local, national & international media and audience which we are sure, would benefit your organization/company. For more details about the Overall event, please visit: http://www.effi.saenis.org So it would be really appreciated if your company indulges in this project as promotion done by us will be of the highest level. We will be anticipating a positive response. Yours sincerely, Prof. H.S.

HUMAN POWERED VEHICLE AS A VEHICLE FOR MORE SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION

Human Powered Vehicle is safer and less space consuming in todays highly dense traffic roads. It is most suitable for short distances but can also be used for long routes. Apart from cyclists it will also be a source of attraction for all including kids and youth because it consists of aerodynamically designed weather proof outer shell and ergonomic and comfortable drivers cabin. In urban markets, it can be projected as an environment friendly alternative to a car. The modern generation is concerned about the environment and would definitely like to explore cleaner options if they are marketed properly. This would find takers in the form of professionals working as far away as 30 km from their homes, for commuting to and fro from their offices. Students would find this product as an exciting alternative to a cycle as it is much safer than a normal cycle. It can be used for patrolling by law enforcement forces in public places such as parks, markets, airport etc In the rural landscape, a human powered vehicle can be projected to families that cannot afford a car but need a mode of transport within their village.

COMMERCIAL VIABILITY
Stallion 2 has been designed keeping in mind the commercial aspects of such type of vehicle in India. Certain points kept in mind while designing the vehicle are: Ergonomic design: the vehicle is designed ergonomically for an adult driver of normal height and weight. Easy handling: for people of all age groups. Older people can comfortably drive in recumbent position and can also avoid pedaling as per choice. Easy steering: Lesser weight, higher strength and hence easy to steer in crowded areas in day to day life, and also suitable for long distance rides with minimum effort. The vehicle is provided with articulated steering mechanism for the rear driver. Safety: Vehicle well equipped with safety features like disc brakes, horn, belt, light, rear view mirror, shock absorber. Roll over system for each driver to sustain collision of up to 3000 Newton. Comfort: The semi recumbent riding position reduces strain on the body, making it particularly suitable for long rides and touring. It can be very easy on the neck, wrists, hands, arms, shoulders, lower back, and ischial tuberosities ("sit bones"), foot rests for front driver, Lesser Effort: power available from both the drivers reduces the net effort from each driver during covering a given distance Versatile application: means of transport in short duration, healthy source of recreation. Low maintenance cost and compact structure Ecofriendly vehicle: causes no pollution and hence does not harm the environment. Health: helps in maintaining a good health and fitness for office and school goers. Maintains proper body weight, blood pressure.
