A Vehicle Emission Tax Model: To Promote Adoption of Zero Emission Vehicles for Indian Context
Abstract: Vehicle tailpipe emissions have been regulated by the authorities over the period of time forcing vehicle manufacturers in improving engine technologies to comply with the government stipulated norms. Improvement in engine designs has reduced vehicle tailpipe emissions to the extent of emissions to meet the notified norms. Historically, such a reduction in vehicle emissions has been achieved in steps/stages as and when new emission norms were notified. It is proposed …

Design and Testing of Self-inflating Tyres for Passenger Car Using Peristaltic Pump Principle
Abstract: One of the major issues in today’s automotive sector is under-inflated tyres. In this category at least a single tyre in 27% of passenger’s cars and 33% of light trucks and SUV faces under-inflation by more than 25%, finally concludes with 4.69 billion liter of fuel wasted per year. Under-inflation and over-inflation conditions also affect the safety, fuel economy, tyre longevity, environmental and driving performance. One of the solutions to …

A Technical Review on Friction Stir Spot Welding of Steels for Automotive Applications
Abstract: Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a novel method of friction stir welding which has prevailed in the current market especially for joining of non-ferrous metals like aluminium, copper, magnesium, etc. with similar and dissimilar metal welds possible. It is done by using a cylindrical rotating tool with pin on the plates to be welded at high speed rotation. The friction between the tool and workpiece causes the welding of …

Steering System for FSAE Car
Abstract: In this study, the steering system and its analysis for the formula race car are presented and are designed, optimized and fabricated with the help of software analysis. The track width and wheelbase of an F1 car are used to find out the Ackermann angle; and with the use of the rest of the factors, optimization is implemented. The main objective is improving the actual steering system of the formulae …
