GROWTH OF

AUTOMOBILE
INDUSTRIES IN THE
PAST DECADE
Introduction
The Indian auto industry is one of the largest in the
world. The industry accounts for 7.1 % of the
country's GDP.
The automotive industry is one of the key drivers of
Indias economy, accounting for around 4% of Indias
GDP and over 200,000 jobs.
The growth of the Indian middleclass along with the
growth of the economy over the last few years has
resulted in a host of global auto giants setting their
foot inside the Indian Territory.
The automobiles sector is compartmentalized in
four different sectors which are as follows:
Two-wheelers which comprise of mopeds,
scooters, motorcycles and electric two-wheelers
Passenger Vehicles which include passenger
cars, utility vehicles and multi-purpose vehicles
Commercial Vehicles that are light
and medium-heavy vehicles
Three Wheelers that are passenger carriers
and goods carriers.

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.
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.

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.
