And to over come with recession company is adopting various strategies such cost cutting, freezing recruitment , financing to NBFC company , upgrading its technology , adopting de risking strategies and so on. Which help the company to survive easily in this global melt down.
Oliver Evans was the first to design a steam engine driven automobile in the U.S. A Scotsman, Robert Anderson, was the first to invent an electric carriage between 1832 and 1839. However, Thomas Davenport of the U.S.A. and Scotsman Robert Davidson were amongst the first to invent more applicable automobiles, making use of non-rechargeable electric batteries in 1842. Development of roads made travelling comfortable and as a result, the short ranged, electric battery driven automobiles were no more the best option for travelling over longer distances. Charles Kettering's invention of the electric starter in 1912, turned the process of starting automobiles more faster and easier at the same time, doing away with the hand tools. Crude oil being discovered in Texas, the automobiles driven by engines that ran on gasoline became even more affordable, as the prices of gasoline reduced. The prices of electric automobiles were going through a constant rise, in spite of the fact that these were less efficient than the gasoline automobiles. Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir was the first to invent an internal combustion engine that ran on petroleum and attached it to a three-wheeled carriage, and
successfully traversed a distance of fifty miles in 1863. Karl Benz manufactured the first automobile ( a three-wheeled car) that was affordable and compatible for travelling over long distances for its internal combustion engine that ran on gas, in 1886.Later in 1887, Gottlieb Daimler was the first to invent the predecessor of the modern automobile with an engine that had a vertical cylinder in addition to a gasoline driven carburetor. First building a two-wheeled automobile (Reitwagen) , Daimler was again the first to build a four-wheeled automobile in 1886. The engines manufactured by Daimler were improved upon and these portable and fast engines made automobiles the way we see them today. The advanced engines turned the slow, expensive automobiles of the yesteryears, a thing of the past, and cars became more affordable as both the prices of gasoline and petroleum as well as the manufacturing costs reduced through their mass manufacture at the assembly lines of factories. Penhard and Levassor in 1889, and Peugeot in 1991 became the earliest mass manufacturers of the modern automobiles
The automobile industry in India is one of the largest in the world and one of the fastest growing globally. India's passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturing industry is the sixth largest in the world, with an annual production of more than 3.7 million units in 2010. According to recent reports, India is set to overtake Brazil to become the sixth largest passenger vehicle producer in the world, growing 16-18 per cent to sell around three million units in the course of 2011-12. In 2009, India emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of passenger cars, behind Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. In 2010, India reached as Asia's third largest exporter of Passenger cars, behind Japan and South Korea beating Thailand. As of 2010, India is home to 40 million passenger vehicles. More than 3.7 million automotive vehicles were produced in India in 2010 (an increase of 33.9%), making the country the second fastest growing automobile market in the world. According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, annual vehicle sales are projected to increase to 5 million by 2015 and more than 9 million by 2020. By 2050, the country is expected to top the world in car volumes with approximately 611 million vehicles on the nation's roads.
The majority of India's car manufacturing industry is based around three clusters in the south, west and north. The southern cluster near Chennai is the biggest with 40% of the revenue share. The western hub near Maharashtra is 33% of the market. The northern cluster is primarily Haryana with 32%.Chennai, is also referred to as the "Detroit of India with the India operations of Ford, Hyundai, Renault and Nissan headquartered in the city and BMW having an assembly plant on the outskirts. Chennai accounts for 60% of the country's automotive exports. Gurgaon and Manesar in Haryana form the northern cluster where the country's largest car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, is based. The Chakan corridor near Pune, Maharashtra is the western cluster with companies like General Motors, Volkswagen, Skoda, Mahindra and Mahindra, Tata Motors, Mercedes Benz, Land Rover, Fiat and Force Motors having assembly plants in the area. Aurangabad with Audi, Skoda and Volkswagen also forms part of the western cluster. Another emerging cluster is in the state of Gujarat with manufacturing facility of General Motors in Halol and further planned for Tata Nano at Sanand. Ford, Maruti Suzuki and Peugeot-Citroen plants are also set to come up in Gujarat. Kolkata with Hindustan Motors, Noida with Honda and Bangalore with Toyota are some of the other automotive manufacturing regions around the country.
Electric Cars
Electric vehicles are one of the most important ways to reduce motoring costs, reduce carbon use in transport, improve air quality and reduce global warming. Expect batterypowered vehicles to be 10% of the market by 2020. Models like Nissans Leaf and Chevrolets Volt have led the way. Much of government economic stimulus packages for the auto industry have been linked to green tech, of which a huge proportion is things like battery technology. 16 million new cars a year are sold in EU alone (2.4m in UK). If we assume that up to 25% of the smallest car market could be electric cars within 10 years, that would mean over 1 million sold each year, at an average cost of EU11,000. Electric car sales would then be worth at least EU11bn a year in the EU.
Where wind, solar, waves, tide or nuclear power is used to charge batteries, electric cars have zero emissions. Either way, air quality improves dramatically in cities as the use of electric vehicles increases. Owners can also save a huge amount of vehicle tax on petrol or diesel since taxation is far lower on electricity. It typically costs only 1-2 cents a mile in electricity. One thing is certain: if half a million people are driving electric cars across a nation, oil consumption will fall dramatically, while coal or gas power consumption will rise in the short term. Batteries are going to be one of the biggest green tech businesses powering not only phones and other small devices, but also cars, trucks, buses and just about any large piece of equipment that does not have a permanent electricity connection. Expect sales of hundreds of billions of dollars. President Obamas economic stimulus provided $2.4 billion to fund battery innovation and electric car drive projects. Car batteries will have another purpose: linked together when charging at peoples homes, to create Virtual Storage by power companies, to assist their power management at off peak times. This will make it easier for them to plug in huge numbers of wind and solar generators. Smart grids will allow power to flow in both directions, so that each battery can become a power source to other people in the neighborhood for short periods of time. If 200,000 electric cars were plugged into the German national grid, it could make 8 megawatts of power available almost instantly, giving more flexibility than the nation currently needs. Expect many governments to give huge incentives to people who want to buy electric cars. Israel and Denmark are leading the way.
switch to hydrogen anytime soon. Meanwhile, fuel cell development is being rapidly overtaken by huge gains in battery power and efficiency.
Hybrid trucks could each save more energy than nine hybrid cars Use waste heat to boost power or drive air conditioning etc - save 5% or more Better gearbox / transmission save 1%
Shock absorbers which generate power (Genshock) save 3-5% - generating up to 1 kilowatt of continuous power Slow down: 65mph down to 55mph save 20% Driver training 5-10% depending on the driver
We can expect very rapid innovation in this field. For example, the US Department of Energy has launched a $45.5 million program to get 378 mid-sized hybrid trucks on the road by 2011, with Eaton power systems on a Ford chassis. Bright Automotive aims to replace 50,000 trucks with plug-in hybrids by 2014. Each will save 16 tons of CO2 a year. Clean Power Technologies uses waste heat from truck engines to generate steam. This is stored and used when needed to help drive the engine or to power other equipment such as refrigeration units. The company claims 40% energy savings and is starting tests with two Canadian freight companies. Other manufacturers are experimenting with truck engines as electric turbines to power motors, similar to many diesel trains. E-traction has developed electric motors for truck wheels which replace heavy engines and gearboxes. The electricity comes from a diesel generator. The trucks run 40% further than usual for every litre of diesel. 10 trucks will be delivered in 2010 and 36 ton versions will be on sale in 2012. One problem with redesigning trailers is that they often belong to a different from the cab owner, and have no incentive to make their loads more efficient. One way to solve the problem is regulation, requiring all trailers to meet new efficiency ratings. Wind resistance is similar for long and short trucks, so longer trucks use less fuel per metre. Combination vehicles with four trailers are allowed in Australia but in many US states even a second trailer is forbidden safety fears. Japanese researchers are working on ways to create caravans of trucks, with only a metre gap, using multiple sensors, saving up to 20% of fuel at a cost of EU1,800 per truck. Another reason to allow longer trucks is to make it easier to move containers from ships, trucks and railways. Ships and trains can use 45 foot and 48 foot containers but EU rules limit trucks to 40 foot (12.1 metres). Ships and trains charge almost the same for small or large, so small containers waste money. They are also hard to pack with EU standard-size pallets. A foot and a half of extra length would save energy, time and cost and reduce the number of lorry journeys but could be a social nuisance unless weights were restricted to what they were (remember many trucks carry mainly air and packaging).
all depends on occupancy. According to the US Department of Energy, a bus with average occupancy (9 people) is more polluting than a car with average occupancy (1.57 people). Many cities are developing bus networks that operate like a metro on rails. Concrete dividers keep the buses and other traffic apart, riders pay before travel and wait in enclosed stations with raised platforms so passengers at the right level. For example, Columbias Rapid Transit line handle 1.6 million trips a day, and has removed 7,000 private buses, reducing bus fuel and pollution by 59%.
