World’s 1st Multi-Collision Airbag system has been designed by Hyundai Motor Group.

This new system allows the airbags to deploy effectively upon a secondary impact by calibrating the status of the vehicle and the occupants.
As per Hyundai the currently available systems, do not offer secondary protection in the event where the primary impact, which might be enough to deploy the airbags, is followed by collisions with secondary objects, such as trees, electrical posts or other vehicles. And such cases are claimed to occur in 3 out of every 10 accidents.
The system detects the occupant position in the cabin following an initial collision and is designed to deploy even faster when initial safety systems may not be effective. The company has recalibrated the collision intensity required for deployment in such a manner that the system deploys airbags more promptly during the secondary impact. The company says that it has analysed multi-collision scenarios in multilateral ways to improve airbag performance and precision in secondary collisions.

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...

Govt lowers import duty on EV components

Govt lowers the electric vehicle parts and components import duty from 15 to 30% bracket to 10 to 15% in order to promote domestic assembling of electric vehicles. The CBIC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs) has carved out a separate category for parts and components of electric vehicle for which customs duty has been lowered. The CBIC has removed customs duty exemption to battery packs for electric vehicles in order to boost “Make in India” initiative. Henceforth, import of battery packs for electric vehicles will attract 5 per cent tax. The new rates of duties have come into effect from from 30th Jan 2019. #autojobs4u #automotivejobs #EV

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...
