4000Km express way under Bharatmala Phase-II

Govt. will be focussing on the highway development in India to facilitate uninterrupted traffic flow under Bharatmala Phase-II. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which has been tasked with implementing the flagship highway development programme, has invited bids for undertaking project preparation so that projects are ready as soon as the work for the first phase are bid out. The majority of the stretches will have greenfield alignment, which means these will be new roads. The maximum speed limit for cars will be 120 kmph on these expressways to reduce travel time. Some of the identified greenfield highways include Patna-Rourkela, Jhansi-Raipur, Solapur-Belgaum, Bengaluru-Kadappa-Vijayawada, Gorakhpur-Bareilly and Varanasi-Gorakhpur. Considering that forest and wildlife clearances hold up projects for years, the NHAI has asked the consultants to avoid road alignments through national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, even if it requires taking a longer route/ bypass. The target date is 2024 for rolling out these roads totalling around 4,000 km under the Bharatmala phase-II.

EVI Technologies plans to set up 20,000 charging stations across India

The Electric vehicle charging infrastructure provider EVI Technologies plans to invest around Rs 100 crore in the next 1.5 years to set up 20,000 charging stations (both home and public) across India. EVI Technologies was incubated at the Electropreneur Park funded by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, has also tied up with BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd to set up around 3,000 EV charging stations in Delhi. EVI Technologies started its operations in Jun-2017 and offers its charging stations on lease for private users. It has presence in 16 different locations in 10 Indian states. It has got orders of 50 charging stations from EESL in Dec-2017 which is being currently installed in complexes of several ministries. While EVI will invest to set up those stations that will be leased out, BSES will provide charging connections with tariff set at Rs 5 per unit for stations in the Capital. #autojobs4u #ElectricVehicles #Technologies #ChargingStations #India #automotiveupd...

LCV to benefit greatly from Indian middle class growth

Globally, LCVs account for 75% of commercial vehicles sales but in India, it is only 62%. Indian middle class which is growing at a healthy pace will bolster growth in the commercial vehicles space in India going forward and the biggest beneficiary will be the light commercial vehicles (LCV) segment The increase in urbanisation and consumption will lead to shifts in market segments and LCV will play a crucial role in last mile connectivity. Industry experts feel that there are 3 big challenges the industry needs to overcome to realise this sales potential which are lack of availability of finance due to liquidity crunch at NBFC, the upcoming BS-VI emission norms and a lack of drivers. With the introduction of BSVI, the cost hike will be much higher than the prediction of 5%-7%. The electric and autonomous vehicles are inevitable in future and the keys to growth will be reducing time taken to bring new models to the market, making vehicle platforms more flexible and dynamic, and st...

Microdots technology to make car almost theft proof

To counter car thefts, Indian govt has decided to adopt microdots technology which is widely used in several counties including South Africa and the US. The vehicles stolen go untraced since auto-lifters take out the engines & other valuable parts before destroying the vehicles. Microdots is a technology in which thousands of micro dots are sprayed over the body of vehicle. These small laser-etched dots contain nano-size (0.5 mm) particles that carry information like unique number and vehicle identification number. These dots can be seen by using UV light and since the dots are sprayed throughout the vehicle body, it becomes easy to trace the vehicle as even a small part of the dismantled car can be used to trace the stolen vehicle. The government plans to roll out the technology as an optional system initially and the price of this feature is likely to be around Rs 1,000. The car, truck or bus would require at least 10,000 microdots, while at least 5,000 such dots would be neede...
