    AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

    The automotive industry in India is one of the larger markets in the world and hadpreviously been one of the fastest growing globally, but is now seeing flat or negative growthrates. India's passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturing industry is the sixth largest

    in the world, with an annual production of more than 3.9 million units in 2011 According to recent reports, India overtook Brazil and became the sixth largest passenger

    vehicle producer in the world (beating such old and new auto makers as Belgium, UnitedKingdom, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Spain, France, Brazil), grew 16 to 18 per cent to sellaround three million units in the course of 2011-12

    In 2009, India emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter ofpassenger cars, behind Japan, SouthKorea, and Thailand

    In 2010, India beat Thailand to become Asia's third largest exporter of passenger cars. As of2010, India is home to 40 million passenger vehicles. More than 3.7 million automotivevehicles were produced in India in 2010 (an increase of 33.9%), making the country the

    second (after China) fastest growing automobile market in the world in that year. According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, annual vehicle sales are

    projected to increase to 4 million by 2015, no longer 5 million as previously projected.

    The majority of India's car manufacturing industry is based around three clusters in the south,west and north.

    The southern cluster consisting ofChennai is the biggest with 35% of the revenue share. Thewestern hub nearMumbai and Pune contributes to 33% of the market and the northern clusteraround the National Capital Region contributes 32% .

    Chennai, with the India operations ofFord, Hyundai, Renault, Mitsubishi, Nissan, BMW,Hindustan Motors, Daimler, Caparo, and PSA Peugeot Citron is about to begin theiroperations by 2014. Chennai accounts for 60% of the country's automotive exports.

    Gurgaon and Manesarin Haryana form the northern cluster where the country's largest carmanufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, is based .

    The Chakan corridor nearPune, Maharashtra is the western cluster with companies likeGeneral Motors, Volkswagen, Skoda, Mahindra and Mahindra, Tata Motors, Mercedes Benz,Land Rover, Jaguar Cars, Fiat and Force Motors having assembly plants in the area. Nashikhas a major base of Mahindra & Mahindra with a UV assembly unit and an Engine assemblyunit.

    Aurangabad with Audi, Skoda and Volkswagen also forms part of the western cluster. Anotheremerging cluster is in the state ofGujarat with manufacturing facility ofGeneral Motors inHalol and further planned forTata Nano at their plant in Sanand. Ford, Maruti Suzuki andPeugeot-Citroenplants are also set to come up in Gujarat.

    The first car ran on India's roads in 1897. Until the 1930s, cars were imported directly, but invery small numbers. An embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s.Mahindra & Mahindra was established by two brothers as a trading company in 1945, andbegan assembly ofJeep CJ-3A utility vehicles.

    Following the independence, in 1947, the Government of India and the private sector launchedefforts to create an automotive component manufacturing industry to supply to the automobileindustry. However, the growth was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s due tonationalisation and the license raj which hampered the Indian private sector .

    Cars were still a major luxury. Eventually multinational automakers, such as, though notlimited to, Suzuki and Toyota of Japan and Hyundai of South Korea, were allowed to invest inthe Indian market ultimately leading to the establishment of an automotive industry in India. Anumber of foreign firms also initiated joint ventures with Indian companies.

    EMISSION NORMS IMPOSED ON THE INDUSTRY

    In tune with international standards to reduce vehicular pollution, the central government unveiled thestandards titled 'India 2000' in 2000 with later upgraded guidelines as 'Bharat Stage'. These standards arequite similar to the more stringent European standards and have been traditionally implemented in aphased manner, with the latest upgrade getting implemented in 13 cities and later, in the rest of thenation. Delhi(NCR), Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Pune, Surat,Kanpur, Lucknow, Solapur, and Agra are the 13 cities where Bharat Stage IV has been imposed whilethe rest of the nation is still under Bharat Stage .

    EXPORTS

    India's automobile exports have grown consistently and reached $4.5 billion in 2009, withUnited Kingdom being India's largest export market followed by Italy, Germany, Netherlandsand South Africa. India's automobile exports are expected to cross $12 billion by 2014.

    According toNew York Times, India's strong engineering base and expertise in themanufacturing of low-cost, fuel-efficient cars has resulted in the expansion of manufacturingfacilities of several automobile companies like Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen andMaruti Suzuki .

    In 2008, South Korean multinational Hyundai Motors alone exported 240,000 cars made inIndia. Nissan Motorsplans to export 250,000 vehicles manufactured in its India plant by 2011.

    Similarly, US automobile company, General Motors announced its plans to export about50,000 cars manufactured in India by 2011 .

    In September 2009, Ford Motors announced its plans to set up a plant in India with an annualcapacity of 250,000 cars for US$500 million. The cars will be manufactured both for theIndian market and for export. The company said that the plant was a part of its plan to makeIndia the hub for its global production business. Fiat Motors also announced that it wouldsource more than US$1 billion worth auto components from India .

    In recent years, India has emerged as a leading center for the manufacture of small cars.Hyundai, the biggest exporter from the country, now ships more than 250,000 cars annually

    from India.

    In the year 1995, Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company (TELCO), acquired a second hand

    paint shop, machine line and cylinders from the Australian unit of the Japanese auto giant, Nissan.

    TELCO is believed to have picked up the unit for Rs. 70 crore. The total cost of import duty would be

    Rs 100 crore. During the year a machine tool division was expanded so as to double its machine

    building capacity and significantly reduce production times.

    Automobile giant Telco installed an electronic data interchange (EDI) network that connected the Telco

    plants, with its vendors. Telco showcased its sports car `Telsport' 4X4 for the first time at the fourth

    Middle East International Show in Dubai on 10 November 1997. Telco is the second Indian four

    wheel maker after Mahindra and Mahindra to participate in the show which has attracted 200 exhibitors

    from 28 countries including world market leaders like BMW and Mercedes. Telco sport was TELCO's

    first entrant in the passenger vehicle segment followed by a five-door SUV in the later part of next year.

    In the year 1999, Telco became the first Indian manufacturer to offer commercial vehicles meeting euro-

    emission norms, a year before they were due to be introduced in the country - It was proposed to make

    TCECL a one-stop shop for construction equipment and earthmoving machinery.

    In October, the Company won the National award for R&D Efforts in Development of Indigenous

    Technology in the Mechanical Engineering Industries Sector instituted by Department of Scientific and

    Industrial Research, Ministry of Science and Technology for the year 1999. The company also obtained

    the shareholders' approval for hiving off the division into a 100 per cent subsidiary, Telco Construction

    Equipment Company Ltd (TCECL), at an extra general body meeting (EGM) held in Mumbai.

    By 2002, Indica sales had crossed two-lakh mark and the company collaborated with Nippon-Arcelor

    for technical knowhow on CR steel. It also received Teri's (The Energy and Resources Institute)

    CoRE-BCSD (Corporate roundtable on development of strategies for sustainable development and

    environment-business council for sustainable development) corporate social responsibility (CSR)

    awards for 2001-02. Tata Motors brought down the prices of passenger car following the excise duty

    reduction in the Budget that very year.

    The Company changed from 'TELCO' to 'TATAMOTORS' in December 24, 2003. In 2004, it launched

    the new Indica V2 in Kerala. The auto giant appointed Cyrus P Mistry as the Deputy Chairman of the

    company in 2012 and signed an agreement with US company to develop engine for commercial

    vehicles. It also signed a partnership with J&K Bank for financing car loans.

    India's leading automobile maker,Tata Motors Ltd launched its new Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) Tata

    Safari Storme at a starting price of Rs 9.95 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It has emerged as the most

  • 7/29/2019 Mtic Project

    11/41

    reputed Indian company in terms of service levels, product quality, financial performance and talent

    pool, as put by a survey by global research firm Nielsen. The company won an order for 1,314 trucks

    from Surat-based Siddhi Vinayak Logistics.

    Tata Motors, the first company from India's engineering sector to be listed in the New York Stock

    Exchange (September 2004), has also emerged as an international automobile company. Through

    subsidiaries and associate companies, Tata Motors has operations in the UK, South Korea, Thailand,

    Spain and South Africa. Among them is Jaguar Land Rover, a business comprising the two iconic

    British brands that was acquired in 2008. JLR supports two state of the art engineering and design

    facilities and three manufacturing plants (Solihull, Castle Bromwich &Halewood) in the UK. In 2004,

    Tata Motors acquired the Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company, South Korea's second largest truck

    maker.

    The rechristened Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company has launched several new products in

    the Korean market, while also exporting these products to several international markets. Today two-

    thirds of heavy commercial vehicle exports out of South Korea are from Tata Daewoo. In 2005, Tata

    Motors acquired a 21% stake in Hispano Carrocera, a reputed Spanish bus and coach manufacturer, and

    subsequently the remaining stake in 2009. Hispano's presence is being expanded in other markets. In

    2006, Tata Motors formed a joint venture with the Brazil-based Marcopolo, a global leader in body-

    building for buses and coaches to manufacture fully-built buses and coaches for India and select

    international markets. In 2006, Tata Motors entered into joint venture with Thonburi Automotive

    Assembly Plant Company of Thailand to manufacture and market the company's pickup vehicles in

    Thailand. The new plant of Tata Motors (Thailand) has begun production of the Xenon pickup truck,

    with the Xenon having been launched in Thailand in 2008. Tata Motors (SA) (Proprietary) Ltd., Tata

    Motors' joint venture with Tata Africa Holding (Pty) Ltd., has its assembly plant in South Africa at

    Rosslyn, north of Pretoria, in the Gauteng province of South Africa. The plant can assemble, from semi

    knocked down (SKD) kits, light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles ranging from 4 - 50 tonnes.

    Tata Motors is also expanding its international footprint, established through exports since 1961. The

    company's commercial and passenger vehicles are already being marketed in several countries in

    Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia, South Asia, CIS, Russia and South America. It

    has franchisee/joint venture assembly operations in Bangladesh, Ukraine, and Senegal.

    The foundation of the company's growth over the last 66 years is a deep understanding of economic

    stimuli and customer needs, and the ability to translate them into customer-desired offerings through

    leading edge R&D. With over 4,500 engineers and scientists, the company's Engineering Research

    Centre, established in 1966, has enabled pioneering technologies and products. The company today has

    R&D centres in Pune, Jamshedpur, Lucknow, Dharwad in India, and in South Korea, Spain, and the UK.

    It was Tata Motors, which developed the first indigenously developed Light Commercial Vehicle,

    India's first Sports Utility Vehicle and, in 1998, the Tata Indica, India's first fully indigenous

    passenger car. Within two years of launch, Tata Indica became India's largest selling car in its segment.

    In 2005, Tata Motors created a new segment by launching the Tata Ace, India's first indigenously

    developed mini-truck.

    In January 2008, Tata Motors unveiled its People's Car, the Tata Nano, which India and the world

    have been looking forward to. The Tata Nano has been subsequently launched, as planned, in India in

    March 2009. A development, which signifies a first for the global automobile industry, the Nano brings

    the comfort and safety of a car within the reach of thousands of families. At one level Tata might well

    compete with two-wheeler manufacturers - Ratan Tata has admitted that Nano has been inspired by the

    vision of middle-class Indian families, complete with children, balanced precariously on two-wheelers.

    On another front, the company aspires to compete with giants like BMW, Mercedes and Audi, if it bags

    the Jaguar, and take on the Land cruisers of the world with the Land Rover acquisition.

    In May 2009, Tata Motors ushered in a new era in the Indian automobile industry, in keeping with its

    pioneering tradition, by unveiling its new range of world standard trucks called Prima. In their power,

    speed, carrying capacity, operating economy and trims, they will introduce new benchmarks in India and

    match the best in the world in performance at a lower life-cycle cost. In October 2010, Tata Motors

    launched the Tata Aria, the first Indian four-wheel drive crossover. The Tata Aria redefines several

    benchmarks with its design and technologies, offering class leading features that take comfort and safety

    to a new height.

    Tata Motors is equally focused on environment-friendly technologies in emissions and alternative

    fuels. It has developed electric and hybrid vehicles both for personal and public transportation. It has

    also been implementing several environment-friendly technologies in manufacturing processes,

    significantly enhancing resource conservation.

    Through its subsidiaries, the company is engaged in engineering and automotive solutions, construction

    equipment manufacturing, automotive vehicle components manufacturing and supply chain activities,

    machine tools and factory automation solutions, high-precision tooling and plastic and electronic

    components for automotive and computer applications, and automotive retailing and service operations.

    has been honoured with two prestigious awards - 'The DSIR National Award for R&D Effort in Industry

    - 1999' and 'National Award for Successful Commercialisation of Indigenous Technology by an

    Industrial Concern - 2000.'

    FACILITIES

    Test Beds: Tata Motors has 24 engine test beds for engine development. These are fully automated with

    computerised data acquisition and logging. They are used to test performance, endurance, and durability.

    They are also used in development of components and other engine aggregates.

    The dynamometers ranging from 200 Hp to 500 Hp are capable of looking after all the existing and

    future petrol, diesel, and CNG engines of Tata Motors. Three test beds are equipped with emissionanalysers. They are engaged in emission development for Euro norms. Six test beds are equipped with

    'Intake Air Conditioning Systems' to feed combustion air at ref. temp, pressure and humidity to the

    engine.

    The latest addition is a contemporary "High Dynamic Transient Dynamometer" (HDTD) installed in

    December 2000 which permits all 'chassis dynamometer' drive cycles to be run on it. It has an Emission

    System, Dynamometer and Software. The powerful software simulates the driver and all vehicle

    aggregates like gearbox and drivetrain, other than the engine.

    Chassis Dynamometer Emission Lab: The ERC has a specialised AVL Zollner Chassis Dynamometer

    with a 508mm-twin roller for checking the emission levels of chassis. It is certified by UTAC, TUV,

    INTA and ARAI. With a 125 kw generator, it can cater to the maximum vehicle speed of 210 km/h.

    development activities.

    REDUCING EMISSION

    A specialized laboratory has been set up to measure levels of emission of vehicles using either petrol,

    diesel or CNG. This laboratory helps Tata Motors achieve fuel consumption efficiencies that would

    conform to international standards, under varying driving cycles. It stands testimony to Tata Motors

    commitment to help bring down levels of atmospheric pollution caused by vehicular exhaust.

    DURABILITY TESTING

    Test Tracks: High-speed tracks are specialized tracks for testing endurance of cars and commercial

    vehicles. The Tata Motors torture tracks and high-speed tracks in Jamshedpur and Pune are the only one

    of their kind in the country. The torture track has 4 segments. Each segment affords a different type and

    level of stress testing for the vehicle chassis and aggregates. The tracks subject the chassis to shock,

    twisting, and bending loads. 1000 cycles on this torture track are equivalent to approximately one and a

    half lakh kms of running on regular roads. It thus provides a valid test of chassis and vehicle durability.

    Four Poster Servo-Hydraulic Test Facility: Four Poster Servo-Hydraulic Test Facility consists of four

    posts for mounting the vehicle. The vehicle is subjected to vertical motions equivalent to road

    conditions are accurate and unaffected by external factors that could hamper testing activity.

    MINIMIZING NOISE

    Anechoic chamber is a highly sophisticated noise and vibration laboratory, the nerve centre of which is a

    vast chamber lined with 88,000 cones projecting at various angles from the walls and ceiling. It is one of

    its kind in India and is developed completely with in-house facilities.

    A number of cones, made of glass wool, are covered with fire retardant material and absorb sound

    generated within this chamber. There are rubber dampers, and a meter-thick wall of air surrounds the

    chamber itself. Designed to achieve 99.5% noise absorption, the chamber is used to test noise and

    vibration levels created by vehicles.

    For e.g. The noise of a door being shut, the click of a switch or an engine being started.

    DESIGNING AND STYLING (CAD CENTER)

    The CAD centre is equipped with 53 state-of-the-art CAD stations and the latest software. The CAD

    centre is a vital organ of ERC's Cab Design Section.

    CAD designing involves development of vehicle specifications, styling interiors and exteriors,

    reviewing the styling from the engineering and aesthetic points of view, virtual prototyping to check for

    design acceptability and feasibility of manufacture.

    Based on this information, several running prototypes are made and tested. It is only after all flaws, if

    any, are corrected using CAD systems, that vehicles are approved for mass production.

    INNOVATION: CONCEPT CARS

    TATA MEGA PIXEL

    Tata Megapixel, a range extended electric vehicle (REEV), is a new four-seater city-smart global car

    concept for the performance-seeking and environment-conscious motorist anywhere in the world.

    Combining a lithium ion phosphate battery and an on-board petrol engine generator for recharging on

    the move, the Tata Megapixel offers a range of up to 900 km (with a single tank of fuel), path-breaking

    CO2 emission of just 22 gm / km and fuel economy of 100 km / litre (under battery only power). The at-

    home charging system is an as innovative induction charging system. The car has simply to be parked

    over the induction pad for charging to begin.

    The class-leading 'Zero Turn' drive system of the Tata Pixel (shown at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show)

    has been taken to an even higher level of manoeuvrability in the Tata Megapixel. The car's electric drive

    has four independent electric motors, one at each wheel. When parking, the electric hub motors drive the

    wheels in opposite directions, while the front wheels are turned at an acute angle, enabling an

    exceptional 2.8 metre turning radius.

    The Tata Megapixel is as distinctive in elegantly melding Indian uniqueness - in colours, graphic themes

    or materials - with global styling preferences. The integrated lamp and grille graphics sweep back over

    the front wheel arches to render a dynamic front end. It is echoed on the panoramic roof, creating a

    harmony between sun & shade and sense of interior space. The floating C-pillar and wrap-around belt

    line finisher integrate perfectly with the sculpted body surface, flowing freely to the rear and

    encapsulating the 5-spoke wheel design.

  • 7/29/2019 Mtic Project

    18/41

    A double-sliding door system and the car's B-pillar less design make entry/exit easy, besides superb

    visibility. The battery layout and hub motors maximize the interior package. So, the Tata Megapixel

    comfortably accommodates for adults with luggage. The front seats are cantilevered on the central

    tunnel, releasing floor space for additional storage. Light leather trims and rose metal details accentuate

    the joyous marriage of richness of tradition and innovativeness of technology.

    This fusion is heightened by an advanced human machine interface (HMI). The console docking point

    can connect a smart phone with the car. The built-in large touch screen HMI, at the centre of the

    instrument panel, thus becomes a common access point for the repertoire of the smart device and for

    controlling the functions of the car, like temperature, ventilation, driving modes and performance.

    The Tata Megapixel denotes Tata Motors' progression from the Tata Pixel, based on the Tata Nano and a

    city car concept for Europe, reflecting the company's future design direction.

    TATA PIXEL

    Tata Motors presented at the 81st Geneva Motor Show the Tata Pixel, a new city car concept for Europe.

    Based on the Tata Nano, the Tata Pixel - at just over three metres in length - is the most package

    efficient four-seater in the world, comfortably accommodating four adults, unlike a typical city carwhich is either a two-seater or can accommodate two adults and two children only.

    Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Carl-Peter Forster, Managing Director and Group CEO of Tata Motors,

    said, "Tata Motors holds true to its belief that there is an opportunity in Europe for a city car, which is

    optimal in space, manoeuvrability and environment-friendliness. The Tata Pixel is a reflection of Tata

    Motors' idea of what such a car should be."

  • 7/29/2019 Mtic Project

    19/41

    The Tata Pixel's ability to manoeuvre and park in the tightest of spaces is made possible by its Zero Turn

    toroidal traction-drive Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT), which assists rotation of the outer rear

    wheel forwards and the inner rear wheel backwards, while the front wheels turn at acute angles. The

    result is a turning circle radius of just 2.6 metres. The 'scissor' doors rotate upwards from the front to

    allow passengers to effortlessly enter or exit the Tata Pixel, even in the tightest of spaces.

    A forward sweeping roofline, with minimal front and rear overhangs, accentuates the youthful styling.

    The Tata Pixel is also designed to provide a high level of connectivity. Key functions are controlled by

    the driver's smart phone, running 'My Tata Connect' - the first integrated human-machine interface

    (HMI) concept from Tata Motors.

    TATA ELEGANTE

    Tata Motors unveiled the Tata Elegante, a Sedan Concept based on all new platform, at the 77th Geneva

    Auto Show in the year 2007.The Tata Elegante, larger than the current Tata Indigo Sedan, is conceptualized to incorporate 4 cylinder

    transverse petrol and diesel engines from 1.4 litres through to 2 litres and a compact V6 petrol power

    unit. Common rail direct injection turbo diesel engines with variable valve timing and capabilities to

    comply with Euro V emissions norms will also be available. Power varies from 90 to 200 PS with torque

    of upto 280 Nm. Transmission options include 6 speed manual and automatic gearboxes.

    Besides meeting all European safety, crash-worthiness and emission standards, the Tata Elegante's

    features include satellite navigation system, cruise control, integrated blue tooth compatibility, heated

    mirrors, rain sensor, front and rear parking sensors, and many other contemporary features. Several of

    the design cues of the Tata Elegante will be incorporated in the forthcoming generation of Tata Indica

    and Tata Indigo cars.

    TATA CLIFFRIDER

    Tata Motors unveiled the Tata Cliffrider, a "Multi-Utility Lifestyle Vehicle" Concept, at the 76th

    Geneva Auto Show in the year 2006.

    The Tata Cliffrider is derived from the Tata "Crossover" Concept, which was originally unveiled at the

    last Geneva Auto Show. Sporting a silhouette like a high-slung sedan, theTata Cliffrider is a dynamic

    package that combines lifestyle and sporty usage with the practical functionality of a pick-up truck.

    The Concept showcases Tata Motors' idea of how a utility product could evolve in future for the

    discerning customer through a truly multi-purpose, multi-terrain usage of a car.

    The exterior styling cues carry forward the visual theme of the Tata Crossover. The door trims show a

    continuity of form due to the disguised central pillar, with the front door hinged at its leading edge and

    the rear door at its trailing edge, allowing better access to the rear seats. The interior emphasizes space

    and elegance with an innovative ventilation system and driver-oriented instrumentation stylishly

    packaged in the steering column. Long beam lights mounted on the roll bar and a load-body suited to

    carry mountain bikes, skis or snowboards re-inforce the "fun and adventure" image. It can also carry

    goods in the load tray which can be hidden from view as well as protected from weather conditions by a

    sliding cover.

    Configured to be fitted with a range of Euro IV engines including a V6 Petrol and next generation

    Common Rail diesel power trains, it would offer multiple airbags, ABS, Traction Control, Navigation

    Control and a host of other contemporary features. The Tata Cliffrider would be available in 4x2 as

    well as 4x4 versions.

    TATA INDIVA

    Tata Motors has unveiled a new 7-seater MPV concept in the year 2002. Built on the same platform as

    Tata's B-segment offering, the Tata Indica, this MPV concept demonstrates the versatility of the Tata

    Indica platform.

    The Tata MPV, the Tata Indiva has been designed as a compact, space-efficient vehicle and is amongst

    the shortest 7-seater conceived with an overall length of just under 4.3 metres. It has a high seating

    position, which enhances passenger comfort, safety and visibility. The interior layout is flexible with the

    3rd row of seats being removable which frees up interior space. Sporting 16" alloy wheels, it has been

    designed as a streamlined peoples' carrier, which is more car-like with on-board electronic systems

    integrating high level of in-car entertainment, navigation and internet connectivity. The concept has a

    permanent sunroof and a headliner with LED lighting, which gives the interior an airy, spacious feeling.

    ACQUISITION OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES THROUGH ACQUISITION OF COMPANIES

    Technological capabilities are more than designs and drawings, or plant and machinery. They are

    embedded in the organizational practices of the organization. It is therefore no surprise that technology

    transfer is a challenging process. The transferee company often misses out on the organizational

    practices and culture that go along with continuously improving the technology. Acquiring entire

    companies for their technology helps overcome this problem. But the acquisition of companies,

    particularly the integration of the acquired company, is no trivial task and several studies have shown

    that a majority of acquisitions fail to enhance shareholder value. In January 2004, one of Indias leading

    automobile component manufacturers, Bharat Forge Ltd., acquired Carl Dan Peddinghaus GmbH &

    Co. (CDP) in Germany. Founded in 1839, CDP is renowned for its product design and development

    capabilities. It has historically worked very closely with BMW and other German automobile companies

    to develop suspension components for their new vehicles. Through the acquisition of CDP, Bharat Forge

    got access to the superior design capabilities of CDP and also the opportunity to work closely with

    BMW. This will enable Bharat Forge to get sole supplier contracts for components developed for new

    BMW vehicles. Subsequently, Bharat Forge acquired CDP-Aluminium technik, a major supplier of

    aluminum forgings to BMW, Audi, and Volkswagen, thus enabling it to move into the growing area of

    aluminum forgings.

    COMPANY PROFILE

    The Hyundai Motor Company is a South Korean multinational automaker headquartered in Seoul,

    South Korea. Hyundai was founded in 1967 and it, along with Kia, together comprise the Hyundai

    Motor Group, which is the world's fourth largest automobile manufacturer based on annual vehicle sales

    in 2010. In 2008, Hyundai (without Kia) ranked as the eighth largest automaker. In 2010, Hyundai sold

    over 3.6 million vehicles worldwide.

    Hyundai operates the world's largest integrated automobile manufacturing facility in Ulsan, which is

    capable of producing 1.6 million units annually. The company employs about 75,000 persons

    worldwide. Hyundai vehicles are sold in 193 countries through some 6,000 dealerships and showrooms.

    Chung Ju-Yung founded the Hyundai Engineering and Construction Company in 1947. Hyundai Motor

    Company was later established in 1967. The company's first model, the Cortina, was released in

    cooperation with Ford Motor Company in 1968. When Hyundai wanted to develop their own car, they

    hired George Turnbull, the former Managing Director of Austin Morris at British Leyland. He in turn

    hired five other top British car engineers. They were Kenneth Barnett body design, engineers John

    Simpson and Edward Chapman, John Crosthwaite ex-BRM as chassis engineer and Peter Slater as chief

    development engineer. In 1975, the Pony, the first Korean car, was released, with styling by Giorgio

    Giugiaro ofItal Design and powertrain technology provided by Japan's Mitsubishi Motors. Exports

    began in the following year to Ecuadorand soon thereafter to the Benelux countries.

    In 1984, Hyundai exported the Pony to Canada, but not to the United States, because the Pony didn't

    pass emissions standards there. Canadian sales greatly exceeded expectations, and it was at one point the

    top-selling car on the Canadian market. The Pony afforded a much higher degree of quality and

    refinement in the lowest price auto segment than the Eastern-bloc imports of the period then available.

    In 1985, the one millionth Hyundai car was built.

    In 1986, Hyundai began to sell cars in the United States, and the Excel was nominated as "Best Product

    #10" byFortune magazine, largely because of its affordability. The company began to produce models

    with its own technology in 1988, beginning with the midsize Sonata. In the spring of 1990, aggregate

    production of Hyundai automobiles reached the four million mark.[10]In 1991, the company succeeded

    in developing its first proprietary gasoline engine, the four-cylinder Alpha, and also its own

    transmission, thus paving the way for technological independence.

    In 1996, Hyundai Motor India Limited was established with a production plant in Irungattukottai

    nearChennai, India.

    In 1998, Hyundai began to overhaul its image in an attempt to establish itself as a world-class brand.

    Chung Ju Yung transferred leadership of Hyundai Motor to his son, Chung Mong Koo, in

    1999. Hyundai's parent company, Hyundai Motor Group, invested heavily in the quality, design,

    manufacturing, and long-term research of its vehicles. It added a 10-year or 100,000-mile (160,000 km)

    warranty to cars sold in the United States and launched an aggressive marketing campaign.

    In 2004, Hyundai was ranked second in "initial quality" in a survey/study by J.D. Power and Associates.

    Hyundai is now one of the top 100 most valuable brands worldwide. Since 2002, Hyundai has also been

    one of the worldwide official sponsors of the FIFA World Cup.

    In 2006, the South Korean government initiated an investigation ofChung Mong Koo's practices as head

    of Hyundai, suspecting him ofcorruption. On April 28, 2006, Chung was arrested, and charged

    forembezzlement of 100 billion South Korean won (US$106 million). As a result, Hyundai Vice

    Chairman and CEO, Kim Dong-jin, replaced him as head of the company.

    On September 30, 2011, Yang Seung Suk announced his retirement as CEO of Hyundai Motor Co. Inthe interim replacement period, Chung Mong-koo and Kim Eok-jo will divide the duties of the CEO

    Research and Development

    Hyundai has 6 centres worldwide, located in Korea (three offices), Germany, Japan and India.

    Additionally, there is an American design centre in California that develops designs for US markets.

    Business

    In 1998, after a shake-up in the Korean auto industry caused by overambitious expansion and the Asian

    financial crisis, Hyundai acquired rival Kia Motors. In 2000, the company established a strategic

    alliance with DaimlerChryslerand severed its partnership with the Hyundai Group. In 2001,

    the Daimler-Hyundai Truck Corporation was formed. In 2004, however, DaimlerChrysler divested its

    interest in the company by selling its 10.5% stake for $900 million.

    Hyundai has invested in manufacturing plants in the North America, India, Czech Republic, Pakistan,

    China and Turkey as well as research and development centers in Europe, Asia, North America, and

    the Pacific Rim. In 2004, Hyundai Motor Company had $57.2 billion in sales in South Korea making it

    the country's second largest corporation, orchaebol. Worldwide sales in 2005 reached 2,533,695 units,

    an 11 percent increase over the previous year. In 2011, Hyundai sold 4.05 million cars worldwide and

    the Hyundai Motor Group was the world's fourth largest automoker behind GM, Volkswagen and

    Toyota - a distinction it earned when it surpassed Ford Auto Group in 2009. Hyundai vehicles are sold

    in 193 countries through some 5,000 dealerships.

    The Hyundai brand power continues to rise as it was ranked 65th in the 2007 Best Global Brands by

    Interbrand and BusinessWeek survey, with brand value estimated at $5.0 billion. Public perception of

    INNOVATION: ECONOMICZERO-EMISSION VEHICLE

    Realizing environmental management is the prerequisite to realizing a sustainable future!

    Right at this moment when the entire world is focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Hyundai

    is focused on developing technologies to minimize the discharge of harmful substances across the board,

    from the early stages of production all the way up to the moment of usage. At the same time, it is

    sparing no effort or investment to develop and produce eco-friendly vehicles with the ultimate goal of

    one day providing cars that do not emit any CO2.

    Environmental management realized through Blue drive

    Starting with the development of the FGV-I HEV concept car in 1995, then the proclamation of global

    environmental management in 2003, and the establishment of the Environmental Technology Center in

    2005, Hyundai has been striving constantly to reduce the environmental impact of its automobiles.

    These efforts were launched full scale and started becoming more visible with the introduction of the

    Blue Drive strategy in 2009. Blue Drive is Hyundais low carbon green technology strategy to reduce

    CO2 emissions by automobiles as well as the brand name of the eco-friendly cars that apply the

    eponymous technologies.

    In the short term, Hyundais Blue Drive strategy is focused on increasing fuel efficiency and developing

    eco-friendly vehicles including bio fuel, hybrid, electric, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Ultimately, it

    aims to realize cars that do not produce any CO2 at all. Centered on its Blue Drive strategy, Hyundai will

    spare no efforts in its environmental management initiatives so that it may contribute to making a futurewhere man, society, and Earth can coexist in happiness.

    Hybrid cars that care about the earths future

    Hyundais history with hybrid cars started with the distribution of 50 Click test drive hybrid cars in

    2004. In 2005, it succeeded in securing the domestic production of key parts. In 2008, it provided

    approximately 1,400 Verna hybrids to public and educational institutions. The same year, using

    homegrown technologies, the LPi hybrid car was successfully developed which, for the first time in the

    world, combined LPG fuel with an electric motor. Starting from 2009, Hyundai commercialized an LPi

    hybrid car that combined eco-friendly performance with practicality. In 2011, the Sonata gasoline

    hybrid, with superior fuel economy and performance, was released in the U.S. and Korean markets,

    expanding the hybrid vehicle market to mid-sized cars. In 2015, Hyundai plans to release a mid-sized

    plug-in hybrid car that can be charged with an outside power source. Hyundais unending march to

    develop eco-friendly hybrid vehicles will not stop in the future.

    Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

    Nonpolluting cars that use natural energy: Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are non polluting cars that

    emit no harmful substances whatsoever when driven; the only thing that is emitted is water,

    as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles get their energy by reacting hydrogen with oxygen from the air. Hydrogen

    reduces the dependence on fossil

    fuels as it can be produced from diverse energy sources including solar heat, wind, and nuclear power.

  • 7/29/2019 Mtic Project

    29/41

    With twice the efficiency of internal combustion engines, it is also a technology that most effectively

    uses natural energy.

    To secure product and price competitiveness in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, Hyundai has

    steadfastly invested in developing related technologies.

    It achieved beating the traditional foe of hydrogen vehicles cold weather by developing a technology

    that enables ignition and operation at -25. By stamping thin sheets of stainless steel to produce fuel

    cells, it has seen the potential for cost-effective mass production by reducing the fuel cell stack price by

    a sixth.

    To produce hydrogen fuel cell vehicles of exceptional safety, it is employing diverse safety tests and

    evaluations such as collision tests and simulated fires. In 2010, Hyundai developed the Tucson hydrogen

    fuel cell vehicle, which can travel up to 650 km on one charge, boasts a fuel efficiency of 30.2 km/

    (UDDS) and a top speed of 160 km/h, and which can be started at -25. In 2011, 48 of them were used

    in Seoul and the surrounding metropolitan area as well as Ulsan for road testing. Starting from 2012,

    efforts at commercialization have started with small-scale productions.

    Meanwhile, Hyundai is promoting its eco-friendly technological knowhow in the European market by

    actively participating in related projects in the region. In October 2011, Hyundai was selected by the

    European Union as the exclusive provider of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles for test driving by European

    Parliament Commissioners and EU officials, and was once again selected by the European Commission-

    backed Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH-JU) in November as the provider ofdemonstration vehicles in two Northern European countries (Denmark, Norway). Third-generation

    Tucson ix hydrogen fuel cell vehicles were given to the Danish government, which are currently being

    tested in a real-world environment.

    Test driving Hyundais vehicles in a Northern European country with an advanced hydrogen fuel cell

    infrastructure has served as an occasion to promote the companys eco-friendly technology to the

    European market and establish a foothold to enter the regions hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market.

    High speed driving made possible with the blue-on electric car: Based on the experiences it acquired

    in developing electric cars, starting from the Sonata in 1991 to the Excel, Accent, and Santa Fe, Hyundai

    debuted the Blue-On electric car in September 2010, the first Korean electric car capable of high speed

    operation. The Blue-On electric car can go 140 km on a single charge, and has a maximum speed of 130

    km/h and a zero-to-100 km/h acceleration of 13.1 seconds. In addition, the key parts are all produced in

  • 7/29/2019 Mtic Project

    30/41

    Korea, providing a foundation for technological development of electric vehicles. The high voltage parts

    use a complex safety design so that both safety and reliability are ensured.

    Hyundai has provided 30 Blue-On vehicles to public agencies and local governments for initial testing

    from August 2010 to August 2012, and starting from January 2011, has provided 250 more units to

    government offices and corporations in an endeavor to establish a basis for the commercialization of

    electric vehicles. In response to a task given by the Korean government under the national policy of

    Green Transport Systems Based on Next Generation Electric Cars, Hyundai is also pushing ahead

    with the plan to develop a near mid-sized electric car by 2014, which can be driven over 200 km on a

    single charge, has a zero -to-100 km/h acceleration of 11.5 seconds, and which can be fully charged

    within five hours and speed charged in less than 23 minutes.

    Roadmap for development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles

    RECYCLING TECHNOLOGY

    At HMC, we are striving to minimize vehicle waste at the end of the vehicles life. By 2015, we aim to

    achieve a 95% vehicle recycling rate by weight. We are also making a significant investment in the

    development of recyclable materials and recycling technologies. Metals, which accounts for more than

    70% of the vehicles weight, are already actively recycled. Therefore, we are developing technologies torecycle plastic parts which were traditionally incinerated or landfilled. HMC is also actively applying

    Design for Recycling principles, in order to further increase recyclability of vehicles. In addition, we

    have established the Automobile Recycling Center to research how to process end of life vehicles in a

    more environmentally friendly manner.

    Recycling Vehicle Bumpers: Bumpers are an important component of automobile which absorb the

    impact from a collision. Consisting of a bumper cover and a back beam, it is also the largest plastic

    automobile part. HMC has developed a custom closed-loop recycling system for automotive bumpers

    which is designed to handle the complete recycling process from collection ofbumpers to recycling. A

    new paint removal technique has been developed to increase the bumper recycling rate as well. Instead

    of using methylene chloride, the new technique involves the use of a water-based alkaline solvent for

    more effective removal of the paint.

  • 7/29/2019 Mtic Project

    32/41

    The bumper parts are then further processed and supplied to vendors as repair parts. We are also

    increasing our environmental marketing efforts to increase the use of recycled parts as green parts. In

    addition, bumper covers are recycled to produce Thermo-Plastic Olefin (TPO), a type of Olefin material

    with 5 to 35% rubber content and high impact absorption characteristics. The TPO material is then used

    as a base material for vehicle parts including wheel guards, mud guards and luggage flower boxes.

    We are in the process of testing head lamp housings, door center trims, resonators, air cleaner housings

    and several other parts using the TPO material. We also developed high-efficiency closed shredding

    system and re-compounding technology for achieving desirable strength and malleability of the material

    recycled from scrapped bumper back beams. The processed material is then used to produce engine

    under covers, radiator shrouds and battery trays. We are also developing materials from FEM carriers,

    canister protectors and bumper side brackets for recycling.

    Recycling Poly-Amid (Nylon) Materials: Primarily used in the powertrain, nylon materials are plastic-

    polymers used as composite materials mixed with glass and mineral fibers. In order to recycle nylon

    materials, they have to be put through multiple pre-treatment stages as follows: material separation,

    grinding, washing, property refinement, and nylon polymer strength reinforcements. HMC has

    developed highly efficient, large scale recycling processes needed for the four stages including a friction

    turning washer and technology to increase the molecular weight of nylon polymers, which are necessary

    for processing radiator fan, shroud, end tank and airbag bubble sheet collected for recycling. We plan to

    use the recycled materials for parts that require high elasticity and high durability such as the radiator

    shrouds, roof racks and canisters.

    Design for Recycling (DfR): HMC has made recycling a key guiding principle in vehicle design in

    order to produce vehicles with reduced environmental impact. In the planning stage, we are improving

    the ease of dismantling, recyclability, and reparability of the products. We also provide environmentally

    friendly design guidelines for parts that are targeted for recycling, in order to ensure overall recyclability

    of the new vehicle models before finalizing of the design. HMC conducts recyclability verification using

    a computerized simulation for all models produced since 2007 before confirmation of the final blueprint.

    The recyclability of vehicles is verified once again by actually dismantling test vehicles identical to the

    models that have been confirmed to for mass production. Improvements are then made for parts and

    components that were identified with problems to ensure greater recyclability in next-generation models.

    INNOVATION: TECHNOLOGICAL

    FOR DRIVER SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE

    The most representative infotainment system is telematics, created by the fusion of telecommunication

    and informatics. Featuring a state-of-the-art communication terminal with built-in GPS that is connected

    to various other electronic devices in the vehicle, the system offers various useful information to the

    driver to promote safer driving. HyundaiKia Motors became the first company in Korea to offer an

    integrated telematics service called Mozen to enhance the comfort and pleasure of driving.

    Hologram HUD: Space holographic technology is a progressive technology that displays various

    driving and driver convenience information on the front windshield in the form of a 3D hologram.

    DSM (Driven State Monitoring): DSM employs facial recognition engine technology to determine the

    drivers state by monitoring changes in the drivers eye movements and facial muscles with an infrared

    camera installed inside the car. By measuring the drivers blinking and facial direction patterns, it

    sounds an alarm sound and relays strong vibrations to the seat when abnormal states are detected.

    Self-healing scratch shield: SRC (Scratch Recovery Clear) uses the elasticity of special chemically

    composed matters in a clear paint that has self-healing properties. Scratches are automatically fixed over

    a period of time.

    Solar cell sunroof: Solar cells are a representative form of environmentally-friendly and renewable

    energy. We are applying solar cells to automobile sunroofs and using the A/C fan operation to reduce

    the A/C load during summertime while enhancing cooling performance and cooling fuel efficiency.

    Pre-crash headrest: Pre-crash headrests help prevent driver neck injuries by detecting possible rear

    collisions using a rear-facing radar or camera that is built into the vehicle. When a possible collision is

    detected, the headrest automatically moves closer to the drivers head for added protection. Once the

    risk has passed, the headrest then returns to its normal position after a certain period of time.

    Nano glass (wiperless vehicles): Nano technology is utilized to automatically remove water or dust

    from the front windshield without the need for wipers. Space holographic technology is a progressive

    technology that displays various driving and driver convenience information on the front windshield in

    the form of a 3D hologram.

    Honeycomb tires: The non-pneumatic tires eliminate the possibility of flat tires with its special

    honeycomb-shaped tires or wheels that are covered in rubber on the outside.

    Hyundai accelerates its push to expand the powerful and fuel-efficient Turbo-GDI engines

    Hyundai plans to develop transmissions for premium models

    Hyundai Motor Group on October23,2012 unveiled its latest powertrain technologies and future plans

    at The 12th Hyundai-Kia International Powertrain Conference, with the theme of Convergence of

    Human, Environment and Powertrain.

    At the annual conference, held at Rolling Hills Hotel near the Hyundai Motor Group R&D Center in

    Korea, the Group explained the current development states of its major powertrain technologies and

    announced future development directions.

    In line with the dominating global trend of engine downsizing, Hyundai has been expanding the

    inclusion of Turbo Gasoline Direct Injection (T-GDI) engines to its models. The T-GDI engine is a next-

    generation engine boasting great fuel economy, eco-friendliness and high performance.

    While its compact(1.6) and mid-size(2.0) models are already equipped with such engines, Hyundai

    will continue its utmost efforts to improve T-GDI technology to develop small, yet strong engines,

    which can offer drivers unprecedented driving pleasure.

    In terms of diesel engine, Hyundai plans to continue expanding its diesel line-up based on the advanced

    technology of the existing U, R and S engines to respond to the diversified demands of global customers

    Despite spending a larger percentage of annual turnover, Hyundai lags behind in technology than

    Tata

    Despite having a dedicated team for designing of cars, the design of Hyundais concept cars is

    less stylish and attractive than that of Tata.

    A huge difference lies in the vision of both the automobile manufacturing companies , Tata

    Motors has a wider and more practical vision than the Hyundai.

    Tata Motors Limited is India's largest automobile company, and the leader in commercial

    vehicles in each segment, and among the top three in passenger vehicles with winning products

    Hyundai is the world's fourth largest automobile manufacturer based on annual vehicle sales in

    2010. In 2008, Hyundai (without Kia) ranked as the eighth largest automaker.

    Another very big conclusion that can be drawn from the study is that both the automobile

    manufactures pay high attention in monitoring the effectiveness of their whole processes

    including application of various technologies .

    Tata motors has acquired more number of technologies as compared to Hyundai.

    Noticable difference lies in the amount that has been invested my both the manufacturers in their
