CHAPTER -1 INTRODUCTION
Throughout the centuries man has striven to expand his capabilities through the use of machine. His ever inventive mind has constantly devised ways to use tool to increase his abilities to explore the world around him. To go faster, deeper, higher and further than before. Coupled with his need to find

INTRODUCTION TO INDIAN TWO WHEELER INDUSTRY


The two3wheeler industry in India has grown rapidly in the country since the announcement of the process of liberali#ation in !((! by the then finance minister *r. anmohan Singh, now 5rime inister of India. 5reviously, there were only a handful of two3wheeler models available in the country. Currently, India is the second largest producer of two3wheelers in the world. It stands next only to China and 6apan in terms of the number of

Consumer Satisfaction toward Honda Activa

two3wheelers produced and the sales of two3wheelers respectively. In the year 277&3277(, the annual production of two3wheelers in India stood at around /'77&7! units. The trend of owning two3wheelers is due to a variety of facts peculiar to India. ,ne of the chief factors is poor public transport in many parts of India. Additionally, two3wheelers offer a great deal of convenience and mobility for the Indian family.

However, 8a9a9 signed a technical collaboration in !('7 with 5iaggio of Italy to produce 8a9a9 Scooters. This deal expired in !(/!.

The condition of motorcycle manufacturers was no different. 4ntil the mid &7%s, there were only three ma9or motorcycle manufacturers in India namely =a9doot, +scorts, and +nfield. The two3wheeler mar$et was opened to foreign manufacturers in the mid &7%s. The industry, which had seen a smooth ride before, faced fierce foreign competition. otorcycle companies li$e the >amaha, Honda, and ?awasa$i, set up plants in India in collaboration with various Indian two3wheeler companies.

Companies li$e +scorts, =a9doot and faced immense competition from smaller !77 cc 6apanese technology motorbi$es. 8i$es manufactured by Hero Honda, the only company manufacturing four3stro$e bi$es at that time, gained massive popularity. In the mid &7%s, ?inetic introduced a gearless scooter in collaboration with Honda. This scooter became instantly popular with the younger generation, especially people who found it difficult to use geared scooters. The

Consumer Satisfaction toward Honda Activa

introduction of scooters created another segment for people such as women and teenagers who could not get used to driving either motorcycles or gearless scooters. any companies such as ?inetic, T:S, and Hero also started manufacturing mopeds that proved immensely popular with people who wanted a simple riding machine. The change in the government%s policy owning to pollution control norms and the ?yoto agreement saw the phasing out of two stro$e two3

wheelers from production. Currently there are around !7 two3wheeler manufacturers in the country, they being 8a9a9, Hero, Hero Honda, Honda, Indus , ?inetic, =oyal +nfield, Su#u$i, T:S, and >amaha. The latest trend in the two3wheeler mar$et is the introduction of electrically operated vehicles from a range of manufacturers such as Indus and Hero. These can be recharged from convenient household electrical points. The only disadvantage is speed, which is restricted to around 2) miles per hour.

Currently, the motorcycle mar$et is witnessing a demand for higher volume engines. 5reviously, the !77 c bi$es were very popular owning to the high fuel efficiency offered. However, the mar$et is maturing fast. Sensing this movement, the manufacturers launched various models in !2)cc, !@)cc, !)7cc, !'7cc, !&7cc, 277cc, 22)cc, and even 2)7cc by considering not only fuel efficiency but power as well. ,ur two wheeler industry is divided into three categories

The main aim of mar$eting is to meet and satisfy target customerFs needs and wants. 8uyer behavior is the study of the act of a customer who intends to buy a product, his li$es and disli$es and the factors that influence his

purchasing decision. The field of consumer behavior studies how individuals, groups and organi#ation select, buy, use goods, service, ideas, or experience to satisfy their needs and desires understanding consumer behavior and $nowing a customer is never simple. The wealth of products and service produced in a country ma$e our economy strong. The behavior of human being during the purchase is being termed as D8uyer 8ehaviorE. Customer says one thing but does another. They may not be in touch with their deeper motivations. They

CHAPTER 1 COMPANY PRO.ILE


The Ho&"! #tory
The Honda story is the story of one man, Soichiro Honda, and his unparalleled achievement of bringing motor cycles to the masses. Soichiro Honda was a racer, a businessman, and a manufacturer. 8ut most of all he was

Consumer Satisfaction toward Honda Activa

a dreamer. He dreamed of a better way of ma$ing piston rings, founded a small company, and began production. He dreamed of giving people everywhere an economical form of transportation, and began producing small motorcycles, including one built in !("( called the *3Type *ream. He also loved racing too. So his company built bigger and faster machines, two, four, five and six3cylinder race bi$es and won the Isle of an.

Honda

otor Company is by far the worldKs biggest motorcycle ma$er.

HondaKs first motorcycle was born out of necessity in immediate post 0orld 0ar II 6apan, where public transportation was desperately overcrowded and gasoline severely restricted. Aoo$ing for a solution to his, and thousands of othersK, personal transport problems, Honda came across a 9ob lot of )77 war surplus two3stro$e

Consumer Satisfaction toward Honda Activa

motors designed to power electric generatorsC nobody else wanted them so Honda pic$ed them up cheap. His aim was to adapt them for attachment to push3bi$es and, by ,ctober !("', his small factory in Hamamatsu was ma$ing complete, ma$eshift motor bi$es using proprietary cycle frames. 8ecause gasoline was in short supply, Honda adapted his motors to run on turpentine, a fuel that he himself distilled from pine trees and sold throughout 6apan. Turpentine ;or gas thinned out with

turpentine< was not the best thing for powering motorbi$es, and reBuired a lot of strenuous pedaling to warm the engine up enough before you could get going. HondaKs first bi$es were very successful and supplies of the surplus engines ran out after a few months. 8usiness was good by then, so he decided to manufacture his own motors. 4sing the surplus motor as a model, Honda designed and built his own )7cc engine.

In .ovember !("/, the !L2 horsepower A3Type Honda was being manufactured and sold as a complete motorbi$e. 8ecause the motorbi$e gave off a lot of smo$e and a stench of turpentine it was $nown as the MChimneyM.

Honda%s original Activa can rightly sta$e claim to having resurrected the Indian scooter industry from the dead. 6ust when we%d all given up hope and thought ours was solely a motorcycle mar$et, Honda brought on the Activa in

!(((, their first two3wheeler for India to prove everyone wrong. There%s been several scooters from other manufacturers, along with several minor Activa upgrades from Honda, but the fact of the matter remainsC an Activa is an Activa.

So the Activa !2) steps in on cue, to fill in the blan$s left vacant by previous Activa models. The new !2) includes a tough metal body, often loo$ed up to and preferred in India, with elegant, still conservative body lines. A single, halogen powered headlight is at hand, as are clear lens indicators, flush fitted to the front apron.

The Activa !2) comes with alloy pillion footrests and a wide, comfortable riding saddle that%s long enough to easily accommodate a pillion. 1rom behind, the !2) loo$s every bit an Activa family scooter, showing off a large, alloy grab handle and prominent tail light cluster.

The Activa !2) engine comes with roller supported roc$er arm fingers for good efficiency, and given its conservative
