Auto ZERO-STAR SAFETY RATING OF INDIAN CARSGlobal NCAP recently released its report on crash

tests conducted on various popular models of Indiancars like Renault Kwid, Ford Eco Sport and M&M Scorpio in various variants (with and without airbags),giving them a zero rating in adult protection and poor rating in child protection. Driven by these scary results, ARAI has started a programme wherein carmakers canvoluntarily offer their cars for crash testing at a speed of 65 kmph, and will be allowed to feature these results intheir sales campaigns. However, this crash testing will become mandatory from 2018 onwards. In my opinion,this is a matter of serious concern for passengers, and the crash testing facility should be extended and made mandatory to all typesof passenger-carrying vehicles like buses, mini-buses and converted mini-vans which ferry intra-city commuters.

On another sensitive issue: the scrapping of old vehicles, the government is trying to seek public consensus by uploading an online draft policy to seek the inputs and opinions of various stakeholders. In essence, it’s a good idea, but the government should also fix the timeline for placing the related Bill in Parliament’s monsoon session to fast track the same.

With the adoption of many initiatives like BS-IV emission norms, safety on theroads and introduction of mega trends, the powertrain (the value chain from power generation to the output at the wheels) is under an innovative microscope in theauto sector. Our Cover Story presents some of the latest trends in this performance-enhancing aspect of automobiles.

The auto industry’s perennial thirst for brand differentiation and makingautomobiles aesthetically appealing to the eyes of the beholder, has brought in themost significant trends of stylishly designed automotive lighting systems with smart features. Some of these trends were very much visible in the impressive displays and new car launches during the Auto Expo 2016, which recently concluded at Delhi. In effect, they represent the immense challenges which the component suppliers have overcome and there are many more in the pipeline.

Similarly, rear-view mirrors have been inundated with smart features like integration with connected vehicle safety features, designer turn indicators, auto-dimming and even projector lamps for brand images, in addition to functionalitieslike motorised controls for opening, folding, angle adjustment and others. Here again, it is a challenge to the component suppliers who are even striving to create their owndesigns and offering the same to OEMs for original fitment.

We welcome your valuable feedback. Please write to: [email protected]

The international technologycompany Continental this year onceagain won in the competition for the 2016 AutomotiveINNOVATIONS Award in the ‘Interface andConnectivity’ category. With 16 innovations, Continental generated the most projects in this classification, of which the jury rated nine as being of aparticularly high standard. This opinionwas confirmed by the automotive manufacturers, which also gaveContinental first place in this categoryin a supplementary survey on innovativecapabilities. The company's innovations in the field of V2X communication andin development of the Haptic Feedback Display were deemed particular strongpoints.

“With our developments in V2X communication and theHaptic Feedback Display, we are

making mobility intelligent andminimising driver distraction, and thereby ensuring greater safetyon the road. Consequently, we are extremely proud that the Center of Automotive Management andPricewaterhouseCoopers have honoured our projects with theAutomotiveINNOVATIONS Award,” commented Helmut Matschi, Head of the Interior division and Member of the Continental AG Executive Board.

Continental wins innovations awardObama visits ABB stallat Hannovere

German Chancellor AngelaMerkel and US President Barack Obama experienced ABB’sgroundbreaking new smart sensor at Hanover Industrial Fair. Thetwo leaders were shown how ABB’s smart sensor can improvethe productivity of hundreds of millions of electric motors byconnecting them for the first timeto cloud-based services. “The smartsensor enables transcontinentalindustrial digitalisation,” said UlrichSpiesshofer, ABB CEO. “The sensor reduces the downtime of motors by up to 70 per cent, extendstheir life span by up to 30 per cent,and cuts energy consumption by asmuch as 10 per cent. If all industrialelectric motors worldwide were equipped with our smart sensors,the energy savings would beequivalent to the output of 100 largepower plants,” he added.

ContiTech increased its sales toaround €5.4 billion in 2015. Thisequates to growth of 37 per cent.Veyance Technologies Inc, which was acquired at the beginning of 2015,contributed roughly €1.15 billion tosales in total. This represents organic growth of 4 per cent. "We are verysatisfied with this result. The currentlystrong automotive industry in additionto positive performances in some industrial sectors have provided us

with momentum. This is enabling us to cushion the continuing decline in mining- and oil-dependent business, which accounts for roughly 18 per cent of our sales at present. Thisdemonstrates yet again that our broad portfolio puts us in a strategically strong position," explained Hans-JürgenDuensing, member of the Executive Board of Continental responsible for the ContiTech division, at a press conferenceheld at Hannover Messe 2016.
