New Delhi, June 30: John Deere, the agricultural equipment manufacturer, has reportedly announced a new round of layoffs. The layoffs follow previous workforce reductions earlier this year at various John Deere plants, including in East Moline, Moline, and Ankeny, Iowa, impacting hundreds of employees. The company has also laid off its employees from the Waterloo plant in Iowa. The layoffs are expected to be part of John Deere's strategic move to realign its operations and enhance its positioning in the market. The company reported profits of USD 10.166 billion last year, but it has also communicated that operational costs are rising and market demand is declining, which requires organisational changes. As per a report of Fox Business, the company is set to lay off approximately 610 production workers at its facilities in Illinois and Iowa by the end of the summer. As per the report, the layoffs might include 280 employees at a plant in East Moline, Illinois, 230 workers at a factory in Davenport, Iowa, and around 100 staff members at the Dubuque, Iowa, plant.Yes Bank Layoffs: Private Sector Bank Lays Off Around 500 Employees in Cost-Cutting Move; Check Details. The company cites a decrease in demand for its products from these specific factories as the primary reason for the job cuts. The layoffs will take effect starting from August 30. The report suggests that workers will be provided with a Supplemental Unemployment Benefit covering approximately 95% of their weekly net pay for up to 26 weeks, along with profit-sharing options and health benefits.Planet Labs Layoffs: Earth Imaging and Monitoring Company Lays Off 17% of Its Workforce, Around 180 People as Part of Cost-Cutting Measures. The Department of Agriculture predicts that farm income will decrease by 25.5% to USD 116.1 billion this year compared to 2023. The company has lowered its annual profit forecast for the second time and expects a bigger drop in sales of large agricultural equipment. In addition, there have been reports of job cuts. John Deere recently made an announcement that it will be relocating the production of skid steer loaders and compact track loaders from its Dubuque facility to Mexico by the end of 2026 to enhance their factories for upcoming products and increase its operational efficiency. . .

India's high-speed train hopes face hurdles

India's Vande Bharat Express, launched in 2019, aimed to revolutionise rail travel but still falls short of international high-speed standards. Trains tested at 180 km/h are limited to 160 km/h and sometimes reduced to 130 km/h due to safety concerns. Infrastructure limitations, like inadequate tracks and signalling systems, impede achieving true high-speed rail status.

India has semi-high-speed trains that can potentially cut travel times substantially, but the lack of necessary allied infrastructure is holding them back. Indias tryst with high-speed trains has been in public discourse for decades. We saw some green shoots when Vande Bharat Express trains were launched in 2019. But even today, by international standards, Indias high-speed trains are semi-high speed at best, according to Sudhanshu Mani, who served as general manager at Indian Railways' Integral Coach Factory and is also credited as the mastermind behind the Vande Bharat Express train. High speed is a term loosely used, and there are various definitions ranging from speeds above 200 km/hr to above 250 km/hr, I would place it more like at least above 220 km/hr, Mani told The Core. Currently, the fastest trains in India are the Vande Bharat Express from Delhi to Varanasi and the Gatimaan Express that connects Delhi and Jhansi. These trains have been tested to run at 180 km/hr but are commercially cleared only to run at 160 km/hr. Recently, this was further reduced to 130 km/hr amid safety concerns as the Train Protection & Warning System (TPWS) on certain routes malfunctioned leading to multiple fatal accidents. Other Vande Bharat Express trains like those on the Mumbai-Shirdi route in Maharashtra have average speeds as low as 64 km/hr. The overall average speed of Vande Bharat trains in the country was 83 km/hr as of April last year. But whats causing trains that have been tested to run at 180 km/hr to run at much lower speeds?

But even today, by international standards, Indias high-speed trains are semi-high speed at best, according to Sudhanshu Mani, who served as general manager at Indian Railways' Integral Coach Factory and is also credited as the mastermind behind the Vande Bharat Express train.

The overall average speed of Vande Bharat trains in the country was 83 km/hr as of April last year. But whats causing trains that have been tested to run at 180 km/hr to run at much lower speeds? Its the lack of allied infrastructure and safety measures. There are two main reasons, track conditions, and signalling systems. To run at these high speeds, the rail tracks need to be upgraded and this hasnt happened at the pace expected. Fencing of the tracks (is required), because the impact of any cattle getting run over is much higher on a higher speed. Improvement in overhead traction line is also needed, Mani said. Indias train signalling system is due for an upgrade and recent fatal accidents have further highlighted this need. Yet, the installation of Kavach, an automatic train protection (ATP) system, isn't fast-tracked. India has trains that can potentially cut travel times substantially, but the lack of necessary allied infrastructure is holding them back. Once these factors are addressed, we may have substantial kilometres being able to support the 160 km/hr speeds. In these circumstances, having trains running at 220 km/hr across the country seems a distant dream so far. One may argue why India needs such super fast in the first place. With air travel booming, it is clear that there is a need for public transport systems and fast trains are key to boosting economic growth too. However, air travel remains inaccessible for many Indians as it is expensive. Additionally, trains are considered a cleaner and greener alternative. However, travel times are the biggest challenge. The comfort of the passengers has been more or less taken care of in both of these modes of transport, according to Mani. For example, (from) Delhi to Bhopal, if you can bring it (travel time) down to, say, four and a half hours, then the advantage that air traffic has is lost, and people would prefer to travel in trains, he said. In its lofty plans for high-speed rail travel, India also has bullet trains on the board, running at targeted speeds of 250 km/hr. The Mumbai - Ahmedabad is the first route on the map and some progress has also been made. However, there have been delays and the train is expected to be operational only by 2029 with an estimated travel time of two hours 45 minutes. Setting up bullet trains would require building more dedicated tracks. When you build a dedicated track, then you cannot have too many curvatures. There are too many gradients because these are the impediments to speedy track, Mani said. According to Mani, in the next five years, only the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train plan is expected to materialise, and even the existing tracks wouldnt be able to reach the capacity to run 200 km/hr trains. India has semi-high-speed trains that can potentially cut travel times substantially, but the lack of necessary allied infrastructure is holding them back.

A family in Naples, Florida, is suing NASA for $80,000 in damages after their home was hit by space debris that fell to Earth and punched a hole in the roof. In a press release, the legal firm Cranfill Sumner stated that it had filed a claim on plaintiff Alejandro Otero's and his family's behalf. On March 8, 2024, while their son Daniel was at home, a metallic cylinder slab from a cargo pallet that had been released by the International Space Station in 2021 struck the Otero family's house. It left a hole in the floor and roof, but no one was hurt. Debri left a mark on the roof | Instagram A Shocking Discovery Alejandro Otero was on vacation when his son called him with the unbelievable news. A cylindrical object had ripped through their roof and floor, causing significant damage. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the incident. The object was retrieved and sent to the Kennedy Space Center for analysis. NASA confirmed in April that it was a metal component used to hold old batteries on a disposal pallet. Debri left a mark on the ceiling | Instagram This pallet was jettisoned from the International Space Station in 2021. While most of the pallet was expected to burn up during re-entry, this particular piece remained intact. Seeking Compensation The Otero family, through their law firm, Cranfill Sumner, filed a claim against NASA to recover damages. These damages include repairs to their home, any business interruptions caused by the incident, emotional distress, and the cost of hiring outside help to deal with the situation. In their lawsuit against NASA, the Oteros seek damages for non-insured property, business interruption, mental and emotional distress, and the price of outside agencies' assistance. My clients are seeking adequate compensation to account for the stress and impact that this event had on their lives, the Otero familys attorney, Mica Nguyen Worthy, said in a statement. They are grateful that no one sustained physical injuries from this incident, but a near miss situation such as this could have been catastrophic. If the debris had hit a few feet in another direction, there could have been serious injury or a fatality. according to a report by The Guardian Debri left a mark on the floor | Instagram Attorney Mica Nguyen Worthy, representing the Otero family, highlighted the growing problem of space debris due to increased space activity. She emphasized the importance of this case, stating it could set a legal precedent for future claims involving space debris damage.Worthy noted the family's relief that no one was physically injured. However, she stressed the potential severity of the situation. A slightly different trajectory of the debris could have resulted in serious injury or even death.The lawsuit also aims to encourage better practices for dealing with space debris in the future, hoping to prevent similar incidents. NASA has six months to respond to the claim. This case will be closely watched to see how the legal system addresses the issue of space debris and the potential liability of space agencies.

What is Reusable Launch Vehicle? Know more about ISRO's 'Pushpak'

ISRO completed the third and final flight of the RLV-LEX series on June 23rd, 2024. The RLV-LEX-03 or "Pushpak," successfully landed under more challenging wind conditions, signifying a significant step towards a fully operational Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLV). The RLVs, unlike traditional rockets that are discarded after a single, these are designed to be recovered, used and launched again.

Bengaluru: ISRO recently completed the third and final flight of the RLV-LEX series on June 23rd, 2024. This mission, named RLV-LEX-03 or "Pushpak," successfully landed under more challenging wind conditions, signifying a significant step towards a fully operational RLV. Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs) are the game-changers in space travel. Unlike traditional rockets that are discarded after a single use, RLVs are designed to be recovered and launched again. This significantly reduces the cost of space access, paving the way for more frequent missions and a more sustainable space industry. Let's delve into the efforts of two leading space agenciesISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) and SpaceXin developing RLV technology. The Indian Space Research Organisation (#ISRO) accomplished the third landing experiment of the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV LEX-03) named #Pushpak on Sunday. pic.twitter.com/2PWLgOB70C ISRO's RLV Program Taking Flight with "Pushpak" ISRO's Reusable Launch Vehicle Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD) program focuses on building a winged, reusable spaceplane. Named "Pushpak" after the mythical flying chariot, the RLV-TD is a test bed for crucial technologies needed for a fully reusable launch system. Here's a breakdown of ISRO's RLV journey: Testing the Waters: The program began with the RLV-LEX (Landing Experiment) series in 2023. These suborbital flights involved dropping the RLV from a helicopter at high altitude and then guiding it to a horizontal landing on a runway. This series successfully demonstrated the vehicle's autonomous navigation and landing capabilities under simulated re-entry conditions. Static fire of Flight 5 Starships six Raptor engines pic.twitter.com/UiF5UG432F SpaceX's Starship SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, has taken a more ambitious approach with its Starship program. Starship is a fully reusable launch system consisting of a Super Heavy booster and a Starship spacecraft. Unlike ISRO's winged design, Starship is a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle, similar to a giant rocket. Here's a glimpse into SpaceX's Starship development: Rapid Prototyping: SpaceX has adopted a rapid prototyping approach, building and testing multiple Starship prototypes iteratively. This allows them to quickly learn from failures and incorporate improvements in subsequent versions. Early Milestones: SpaceX has conducted numerous high-altitude test flights of the Starship prototypes, with some achieving successful landings. Notably, on June 6th, 2024, Starship achieved a first: both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship spacecraft successfully completed a suborbital flight and landed, marking a significant milestone towards full reusability. Comparing ISRO's RLV and SpaceX's Starship ISRO and SpaceX are leading the way in developing reusable launch vehicles. While their approaches differ, both programs aim for reusability and showcase distinct approaches: Design Philosophy: ISRO's RLV-TD is a winged spaceplane designed for horizontal landings. This design offers advantages in terms of maneuverability and potentially lower fuel consumption during re-entry. SpaceX's Starship, on the other hand, utilizes a VTOL design with a simpler, more rocket-like structure.Development Strategy: ISRO has adopted a more cautious and methodical approach, conducting extensive ground testing and suborbital flights before venturing into orbital missions. SpaceX, in contrast, has been more aggressive, rapidly iterating through prototypes and conducting high-altitude test flights. Current Stage: ISRO has successfully demonstrated the core technologies needed for a reusable launch vehicle with the RLV-LEX series. SpaceX, on the other hand, has achieved the first full launch and landing of both stages of their Starship system, marking a significant advancement. ELON: SPACEX WILL START BY COLONIZING THE MOONElon spoke on the prospects of living on Mars ahead of the 4th test of SpaceX's starship in June:"It is the first rocket that will make multi-planetary life one of the possible outcomes. I think (that we'll be on the moon) pic.twitter.com/6CFWeSPE5b Challenges and Opportunities Developing RLVs is a complex endeavor. Both ISRO and SpaceX face challenges: Technical Hurdles: Reusable launch vehicles require advanced heat shielding to withstand the intense temperatures encountered during re-entry. Additionally, perfecting the complex landing maneuvers for both winged and VTOL designs is crucial. Economic Viability: While reusability promises significant cost savings in the long run, the initial development costs for RLVs are high.Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of RLVs are immense. Reduce Launch Costs:Reusability can drastically lower the cost of space access, enabling more frequent missions and opening up space for new ventures.Enable Sustainable Space Exploration: By reducing the amount of debris left in orbit after each launch, RLVs contribute to a more sustainable space environment.Revolutionize Space Travel: Reusable launch vehicles hold the key to making space travel more accessible and affordable, paving the way for a future with regular space missions and potentially even space tourism.

Some say they'll buy Ferrari only if it's electric: CEO Vigna

As Ferrari aims to unveil its first fully electric model next year, CEO Benedetto Vigna said it's trying to balance the needs of younger buyers as well as old established clients. "Some would-be customers tell me that they would only join the Ferrari community if they could buy an electric...Others say they would never purchase an electric Ferrari," he said.

(Bloomberg) -- Ferrari NV wont be giving up on internal combustion anytime in the coming years, the supercar makers chief executive officer said, as the company remains committed to a full range of powertrains for a wide range of buyers. Even as Ferrari races to unveil its first fully electric model late next year, CEO Benedetto Vigna will push ahead with his strategy to innovate with new technologies while remaining open to an array of solutions, he said in an interview for Bloombergs Italian-language podcast, Its a delicate balance for the carmaker, as younger buyers skew electric but many established clients are loath to give up Ferraris trademark roar. Some would-be customers tell me that theyd only join the Ferrari community if they could buy an electric, the CEO said. Others say they would never purchase an electric Ferrari. Vignas comments come during a challenging moment for the high-end automotive sector, as manufacturers wrestle to lower emissions at a time when demand for electric vehicles is slowing and governments are scaling back subsidies. Mercedes-Benz Group AG has stopped development of separate underpinnings for electric sedans to save money and plans to sell gasoline-powered cars well into the 2030s. Lamborghinis CEO has said he believes its still too early for the firm to make its signature high-performance sports cars fully electric. But elsewhere, competition in electric vehicles is intensifying. Chinas BYD Co. in February unveiled a 1.68 million-yuan ($232,000) high-performance EV that at least in theory would challenge Ferrari and Lamborghini. Vigna said he prefers to listen to customers rather than fixate on any single technology, which meshes well with the fact that hybrid models something of a compromise option accounted for about half of the companys new-car shipments last quarter. Ferrari needs to be able to give customers a unique driving experience regardless of engine propulsion type, Vigna said. That means traditional, hybrid and fully electric options, he said. Still, the CEO has been the driving force behind the gradual shift toward battery power, and a plant dedicated to building hybrid and electric cars will be ready later this week. Its just a matter of listening to different voices to get a full vision, Vigna said. More stories like this are available on bloomberg.com 2024 Bloomberg L.P.

The risk factors listed in Hyundai India's draft IPO papers are an increase in the prices of parts, limited number of suppliers for parts and materials, decrease in demand, and dependence on Hyundai Motor Co. Other risks include outstanding legal proceedings and potential disruptions at Chennai manufacturing plant. Conflict of interest with group company Kia was also listed among risks.

https://www.ndtvprofit.com/business/hyundai-india-ipo-what-are-the-key-risk-factors?utm_campaign=fullarticle&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=inshorts

Hyundai Motor India Ltd. has filed the draft papers for its initial public offering, which can potentially be the countrys largest. That, however, doesnt come without risks. Heres a look at the key risk factors mentioned in the DRHP: Increases in the prices of parts and materials could adversely affect business and results of operations. Limited number of suppliers for parts and materials. Any interruption in the availability of parts and materials could adversely impact operations. We depend on Hyundai Motor Co., our promoter, for our operations. Any adverse change in our relationship with HMC and the companies in the Hyundai Motor Group could have an adverse impact on business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations. Outstanding legal proceedings and any adverse outcome may adversely impact our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. Related party transactions with HMC and companies within the Hyundai Motor Group that may involve conflicts of interest. Two of our Group Companies, Kia Corporation and Kia India Pvt., are in a similar line of business which may involve conflict of interests. Potential disruptions at Chennai manufacturing plant could impact business. The Talegaon Manufacturing Plant, once operational, could adversely impact our operations. Any decrease in the demand for or disruption in the manufacture of SUVs, or any other passenger vehicle models we rely on in the future. Our long-term competitiveness depends on the evolution of the EV market and the adoption of alternative fuels in India. Our failure to recognise these market trends and meet customer demands for EVs, could adversely impact operations. Any disruption in the dealership and distributorship network for the sale of our passenger vehicles and the provision of services, including after-sale services, could adversely affect business.

South Korean auto giant Hyundai Motor Co's Indian arm Hyundai Motor India Limited has filed draft papers with market regulator Sebi to raise around $3 bn via an initial public offer (IPO) at a targeted valuation between $18 bn to $20 bn, multiple sources in the know told Moneycontrol on the condition of anonymity.

Which were India's 10 best-selling cars in May?

Maruti Swift became India's top-selling car after 19,393 units were sold in May 2024. It was followed by Tata Punch whose 18,949 units were sold in May. It was followed by Maruti Dzire (16,601), Hyundai Creta (14,662), Maruti WagonR (14,492), Maruti Brezza (14,186), Maruti Ertiga (13,893), Mahindra Scorpio (13,717), Maruti Baleno (12,842) and Maruti Fronx (12,681).

https://www.ndtvprofit.com/business/a-swift-punch-indias-best-selling-car-is-a-maruti-again?src=p1&utm_campaign=fullarticle&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=inshorts

A hatchback is once again Indias best-selling car, amid an outsized demand for oversized cars. The Maruti Suzuki Swift has dethroned the Tata Punch as Indias best-selling car in the same month its latest iteration went on sale, according to data sourced from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers. Sales of the hatchback rose 12% over the year earlier to 19,393 units in May 2024. Though volumes of the compact SUV surged 70% year-on-year, they still were the second highest. That the Swift has reclaimed the top spot is noteworthy, for it shows that hatchbacks cant be written off amid burgeoning sales of SUVs in India. Maruti Suzuki believes hatchbacks are the way to go in a country that has among the lowest car penetration ratios in the world. With only 32 vehicles per 1,000 people, India presents a vast opportunity for automakers, Hisashi Takeuchi, managing director of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., said at the launch of the fourth-generation Swift on May 9. As car ownership rises, hatchbacks will serve as the entry point for many customers, and thus expand. Hatchbacks make up nearly a third of Indias passenger vehicle market. Maruti Suzuki enjoys more than 60% market share in the segment. But in May 2024, SUV sales surged 26.9% year-on-year to 2,13,462 units, even as those of compact cars fell 13% from the year-ago period, according to SIAM data. In May 2023, their volumes were nearly equal at 1,68,178 and 1,63,619 units, respectively. That gap has now widened, so much so that SUVs now command nearly 60% of incremental sales. Maruti Suzuki is thus sitting on a pile of small cars, as there are few takers. As on May 31, Indias largest carmaker had an unsold inventory of 1.68 lakh carsor 35-36 days of buffer stock. It manufactured 1.93 lakh units last month. Those figures far exceeded the 1.57 lakh units sold. And while its SUVsBrezza, Grand Vitara, Fronx and Ertigaenjoy waiting periods, its breadwinner carsthe Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio, etc.are finding few takers. That prompted the company to launch a special editiona first in nearly four decades of operationsto clear stock. The all-new Swift, Maruti Suzuki believes, is the catalyst for a turnaround. In less than a month since launch, the fourth-generation of the hatchback has received over 40,000 bookings for just the petrol variant on sale. While the CNG powertrain is some time away, Maruti Suzuki believes that will only add to incremental sales. The new Swift is already our best-selling model, Partho Banerjee, the head of sales and marketing at Maruti Suzuki, said during a sales call on May 1. The CNG variant will be out in a few months. That should shore up our volumes further. Developed at an investment of Rs 1,450 crore, the fourth-generation Swift is powered by an all-new 1,200-cc three-cylinder engine that makes 82 BHP of power. The car, which returns about 25 km/litre, gets six airbags as standard. Its being produced at the companys Gujarat facility. Prices start at Rs 6.49 lakh, ex-showroom India.

Retail car sales dip 1% YoY in May amid LS polls, severe heatwave

Retail sales of passenger vehicles fell 1% year-on-year to 3,03,358 units in May, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA). Dealers cited the impact of elections, extreme heat and market liquidity issues as major factors for decline, FADA President said. "Due to the extreme heat, the number of walk-ins to showrooms dropped by around 18%," he added.

Car sales at dealerships fell in May as buyers chose to stay away from showrooms amid a heatwave and Lok Sabha elections. Retail sales of passenger vehiclesmeasured as registrations on the governments Vahan portalfell 1% year-on-year to 3,03,358 units in May 2024, as against 3,35,123 units in the year-ago period, according to a statement by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Association on Monday. It was down nearly 10% from a month earlier. While bookings and production werent a concern, what hurt incremental demand was the lack of new cars, intense competition, and poor marketing efforts by carmakers, FADA President Manish Raj Singhania said. Customers also delayed purchases while awaiting the election outcome. Walk-ins at showrooms dropped by about 18% due to the extreme heat. Liquidity issues and high inventory levels continue to strain profitability for dealerships, Singhania said. Although discount schemes and good product availability are in place, low customer inquiries and postponements due to seasonal factors remain concerns.

I'm truly sorry: Toyota Chairman Toyoda on cheating on safety test of some cars

Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda apologised after an investigation found the company cheated on safety test of some car models. "As the person responsible for the Toyota Group...I am truly sorry," he said, bowing at a news conference. The Japanese automaker used inadequate or outdated data in collision tests, conducted incorrect testing of airbag inflation and falsified engine power tests.

https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/40932340.html

Jun. 03, 2024 Toyota Motor Corporation held a press conference in Tokyo on June 3, 2024 from 5:00 p.m. JST. The video of the press briefing is available below. Monday, June 3, 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. JST The ending time is subject to change depending on the circumstances. Japanese (English interpretation provided) Explanation, Q&A I am Akio Toyoda. Thank you for attending this press conference today despite the sudden notice. On January 26 this year, we received instructions from Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to conduct an investigation on type designation applications, which we followed. The investigation is still ongoing, but it identified that seven models, including those that have already ended production since 2014, were tested using methods that differ from the standards defined by the national authorities, and we reported this to the Ministry on May 31. This matter involves two companies, Toyota Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor East Japan. As the person responsible for the Toyota Group, I would like to extend my sincere apologies to our customers, car enthusiasts, and all stakeholders for this issue, following Hino, Daihatsu, and Toyota Industries Corporation. I am truly sorry. All the cases are related to certification. The certification system in Japan verifies whether a product meets the established standards mainly in the fields of safety and environment using measurement methods in accordance with rules. Vehicles can only be manufactured and sold after meeting certification test standards. The point of this issue is that the vehicles were mass-produced and sold without going through the correct certification processes. Miyamoto from the Customer First Promotion Group will now explain the details. I am Miyamoto. Please allow me to explain the details. First, we believe that certification is the bare minimum and most important process for mass-producing and selling cars to customers and ensuring that they can be used safely and securely. Broadly, there are three ways of conducting certification. The first is to have an examiner from a designated technical service witness the test. The second is for the automaker to carry out the in-house certification test themselves and submit the data. The third is to submit the compatible development test data for certification. This time, cases were found in the second and third ways. Among them, we have found six specific cases. This is the list of six cases. This is the first case. During the partial redesign of the Crown and Isis in 2014 and 2015, airbag timer ignition development test data was used for certification application. When a collision occurs, occupants are protected primarily by seat belts and airbags. In the case of Isis, we were working on seat belt development to improve its performance. In this development test, a timer ignition method was used to create more severe collision conditions than those in the certification test. In addition, additional model development was being done for the Crown. The purpose of this development test was to confirm the occupant protection performance of seat belts and airbags. A timer ignition method was used to ensure the deployment of the airbags in the test prototype. The performance of automatic airbag ignition had already been verified in an existing model. In both cases, a certification test should have been conducted again under conditions as close as possible to what would be delivered to the customer, and such data should have been submitted. However, the development test data was used for certification. Next, the second case. In 2015, during the development of the Corolla, a test was conducted to check the damage to a pedestrian's head in a collision. Development test data under more severe test conditions were used for certification. As shown in the figure, the impact angle of 65 degrees is a more severe test condition. The test should have been conducted again with the 50-degree impact angle stipulated by regulations, and this data should have been submitted for certification. However, the development test data was used for certification. Next, the third case. In 2015, during the development of the Corolla, Sienta, and Crown, a test was conducted to check the damage to a pedestrian's head and legs in a collision. The data of the opposite side of the applied measuring points was used for certification, and unilateral point data was used for both sides in certification. It was confirmed that the test results for the left and right points of the vehicle show no difference. The test should have been conducted again with the selected measuring points, and this data should have been submitted. There is a process for applying for and obtaining an agreement in advance to determine the measuring points. However, we believe that there was insufficient communication with the technical service about the change of measuring points during the structural changes and the technical verification process during development. Next, the fourth case. This is a test to confirm fuel leakage and other issues due to the impact of a rear-end collision during the development of the Crown in 2014 and the Sienta in 2015. The development test data under more severe test conditions with a moving barrier was used for certification. A 1,800 kg moving barrier was used for the development test, which is heavier than the regulation standard of 1,100 kg; therefore, the test had a greater impact. The test should have been done again using the 1,100 kg moving barrier stipulated by regulations, and this data should have been submitted. Next, the fifth case. During the development of the Yaris Cross in 2020, a test was carried out to examine the damage caused to the rear seat when luggage placed in the rear space of the vehicle moves due to the impact of a collision. After regulation changes, there was an additional requirement for luggage blocks. However, the development test data using the old blocks was submitted for certification application. The test should have been done again using the new blocks, and that data should have been submitted. Lastly, the sixth case. During the development of the Lexus RX engine in 2015, a certification test was conducted to check the engine power. In this test, the targeted power could not be achieved. When a problem like this occurs, the test should have been stopped, the cause investigated, and measures taken. However, the engine control system was adjusted to achieve the targeted power, and the re-tested data was used for certification. This case is different in nature from cases (1) to (5) in that the results were changed to meet the standards. A subsequent investigation has determined that the cause is the partial collapse of the test muffler. The six cases explained can be grouped as: Cases (1) to (5) involve development test data applied for certification, and case (6) involves the automaker conducting its own certification test and submitting that data. In terms of the scale involved in the certifications explained today, we certify about 50 models per year and submit about 7,000 reports over 10 years. The content of one report, for example, in the case of pedestrian protection, includes the results of numerous point collision tests and the results of tests on the left and right sides of the bumper. We do not have the total number of test results at this time, but we have reviewed tens of thousands of test results. Although we are still in the process of reviewing them, we have reported on six cases today. This concludes my explanation. Although still ongoing, our investigation involving tens of thousands of items, has revealed six cases. We have conducted internal verifications on all the cases and confirmed that they all meet the legally defined standards and can be used safely by our customers. We conducted internal verifications on all the cases. We confirmed that all cases meet the legally defined standards and can, therefore, be used safely by our customers. We conducted internal verifications on all the categories. We confirmed that all categories meet the legally defined standards and can, therefore, be used safely by our customers. Nevertheless, these acts shake the very foundations of the certification system, and as an automobile manufacturer, we believe they are acts that must never be committed. After the press conference on January 30 of this year, my immediate action was to ensure that everyone involved, including myself, correctly understood the problem. Therefore, in February, I took the lead and called on Toyota, Hino, Daihatsu, and Toyota Industries to hold the TPS Jishuken (Joint Kaizen Activities) for Certification Work. First, we focused on the processes in which certification-related work was most prone to problems and began by visualizing the material and information flow diagram. As a result, work structure issues have now become clear, and we will carry out concrete improvements. The other day, I went to the genba myself and checked on the progress. The presidents of each company, Oyaji genba leaders, veteran engineers, and young employees who have been working at the company for a few years participated beyond the boundaries of titles and individual corporate frameworks to learn from one another while studying the material and information flow diagram. By doing so, we were able to find where the problems were in the work structure. We also discovered that not only Toyota but also Group companies are facing the same issues. That is where we are at now. Since we are all part of the same Group, we should talk to each other and continue to make improvements together, including top management and genba employees. I feel that we have taken the first step in this direction. I intend to extend our efforts throughout the entire Group and restore authority to the genba to create a solid corporate culture that makes ever-better cars. These efforts will need to be done steadily and will take time, but I will go to the genba myself and take responsibility for their progress. We appreciate your kind attention. Toyota Motor Corporation works to develop and manufacture innovative, safe and high-quality products and services that create happiness by providing mobility for all. We believe that true achievement comes from supporting our customers, partners, employees, and the communities in which we operate. Since our founding over 80 years ago in 1937, we have applied our Guiding Principles in pursuit of a safer, greener and more inclusive society. Today, as we transform into a mobility company developing connected, automated, shared and electrified technologies, we also remain true to our Guiding Principles and many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals to help realize an ever-better world, where everyone is free to move.

Nissan paid ex-COO Gupta ₹31 cr to quit amid harassment allegations: Report

Japanese automaker Nissan paid former COO Ashwani Gupta $3.7 million (nearly ₹31 crore) to leave the company after a sexual harassment probe was launched against him, Bloomberg reported. Gupta's compensation was made public in a notice of annual shareholders' meeting. His total pay of nearly ₹39 crore in FY24 is more than what Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida made (₹36 crore).

https://www.ndtvprofit.com/business/nissan-pays-ex-coo-3-7-million-to-leave-after-sexual-harassment-allegations?utm_campaign=fullarticle&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=inshorts

(Bloomberg) -- Nissan Motor Co. paid former Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta 582 million ($3.7 million) to depart the company last year amid allegations of misconduct, people familiar with the matter said. Gupta left Nissan in June last year, surprising investors who had seen him as a potential future candidate for the top job. He departed after the company investigated misconduct it considered to be sexual harassment and paid for him to leave, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. That compensation figure is now public in a notice of annual shareholders meeting, which showed Gupta will also receive allowances. A spokesperson for Nissan said the company has no comment beyond the public notice. Gupta declined to comment. Read More: Nissan COO Who Led Post-Ghosn Turnaround Leaving Carmaker Gupta played a leading role steering Nissan back to profitability following the 2018 arrest of former Chairman Carlos Ghosn. His remuneration for the year through March 2023 of 726 million even saw him out-earn Chief Executive Officer Makoto Uchida, who took home 673 million. Other amounts recently paid out to retiring executives include 314 million for former President Hiroto Saikawa. Three other executive directors received compensation ranging from 191 million to 373 million in the same period, according to the securities report for the year that ended in March 2020. While that makes Guptas departure payment comparatively high for Japan, the amount pales in comparison to so-called golden parachute agreements in places like the US. Google agreed to pay as much as $135 million to two top executives who left the company after being accused of sexual harassment. Former Fox News host Bill OReilly, who was ousted over allegations of sexual harassment, was reported to have received as much as $25 million for agreeing to leave the company. Gupta joined Honda Motor Co. in 1996, working in both India and Japan. He subsequently moved to Renault SA in 2006 and worked as an executive at Renault-Nissan BV. After a stint as COO at Mitsubishi Motors Corp., he took the job at Nissan in 2019. He is currently chief executive officer at Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. --With assistance from Supriya Singh and Reed Stevenson.

Indian car dealers face over 4.5 lakh unsold units amid sale slump

Car dealers in India are staring at an inventory of more than 4.5 lakh units for the month of May, as demand cools off after three years of blockbuster sales. June isn't looking bright either. "What's being reported is actually conservative. Dealers are actually sitting on 4.5-5 lakh units," Vinkesh Gulati, chairman (research and academy), Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations.

Car dealers in India are staring at an inventory of more than 4.5 lakh units for the month of May, as demand cools off after three years of blockbuster sales. June isnt looking bright either. Whats being reported is actually conservative. Dealers are actually sitting on 4.5-5 lakh units, Vinkesh Gulati, chairman (research and academy) at the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations, told NDTV Profit in a telephone interview. The market itself has grown to 3.5 lakh units per month, but more than one lakh units lying in a stockyard is unsustainable. If inventory levels were up to 4 lakh, we would have been comfortable. But they are at least one lakh more, Gulati said. Thats not good for buyers and dealers alike, as cost of holding inventory builds up over months. In fact, the inventory is already at levels seen in the months preceding the October-November festive season, when carmakers stock dealerships to cater to the incoming demand. According to Gulati, inventory levels in May are already at more than 40 days, something seen only in the month of September. Gulati called for paring of production by original equipment manufacturers to align the demand-supply dynamics. The monthly output is about 3.85 lakh. Dispatches in May are seen at more than 3.5 lakh. Thatll only clog the pipeline further.

. Entrepreneur and its related marks are registered trademarks of Entrepreneur Media LLC May 30, 2024 Share EV distribution and financing startup Turno has raised USD 6 million in a Series A extension round of funding led by British International Investment (BII) and existing investor Quona Capital. Stellaris Venture Partners and B Capital, two previous investors, also participated in this round. Turno had raised USD 16.9 million in total prior to this funding round. As per the startup, Turno will primarily utilise this funding round to expand its network in the country, look at large form factor vehicles, and invest in battery technology. Abhinav Sinha, Managing Director and Head of Technology and Telecoms at BII, said, "Backing local entrepreneurs to solve development challenges, including the impact of climate change is a key priority for BII in India. Turno's innovative business model, lower cost offering, and novel efforts at repurposing EV batteries will help attract more people and businesses to adopt commercial EVs." Founded in 2022 by Hemanth Aluru and Sudhindra Reddy, Turno is a commercial vehicle marketplace that sells three-wheel EVs such as Mahindra & Mahindra, Piaggio, Euler Motors, and Etrio, among others. Turno CEO Hemanth Aluru said the biggest challenge for the EV segment is increasing the awareness level of these vehicles and creating a framework for the resale of these units. Today, the core focus of Turno is primarily on the financing and distribution of three-wheeler cargo EVs. "We not just provide financing but also support them in the resale value of the vehicles," Aluru said. The platform claims to have eight retail outlets in the country and sells these vehicles in a multi-brand format through partnerships with leading manufacturers like Bajaj, Mahindra Electric, Greaves, Piaggio, Euler Motors, etc. According to Aluru, the penetration of three-wheeler cargo EVs has gone up from 7 percent to 30 percent in the last two years. Turno has a presence in about six states: Karnataka, Delhi, Telangana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat. The plans are to expand to another 810 states in the next 1215 months. Aluru claims that Turno saw a four-fold increase in business in FY24 and anticipates continuing this trend in the current fiscal year. In addition, Turno intends to launch a few experimental projects in the more recent EV categories, which would include huge form factors similar to commercial buses. This startup will also be investing in building out its proprietary battery technology to create a grid-like setup that can become an energy source for other activities.

Why could some 2-wheeler makers be barred from govt EV schemes?

Some electric two-wheeler makers, including Hero Electric and Okinawa Autotech, could be blacklisted from future EV schemes of the Indian government, Hindustan Times reported. This comes as the Centre is planning to take action against firms which failed to return incentives wrongly claimed under FAME-II scheme. The two EV makers, along with four others, were found flouting FAME-II norms.

Standalone profit rose 19.8% to 9 billion rupees ($108.36 million) for the three months to March 31, surpassing analysts' estimates of 8.69 billion rupees, according to LSEG data. Input costs came off a high base last year as manufacturers globally battled higher transportation and raw material costs amid conflicts and the lingering impact of the pandemic. Ashok Leyland's input and services costs dropped 7.3% and brought down total expenses by 6.5% to 99.14 billion rupees. Meanwhile, commercial vehicle sales floundered on poor agricultural yield and higher discounts and were coming off a high base. Ashok Leyland's total sales volume fell nearly 6% in the January-March period, as per its monthly sales data, driving a 3.1% fall in its revenue to 112.67 billion rupees. Sales volume of commercial vehicles for market leaders Tata Motors and Eicher Motors, which makes trucks and buses under a joint venture with Volvo, had also fallen in the quarter. The segment, however, is a smaller business for both. Tata Motors and Eicher's profit climbs were on the back of their respective premium vehicle sales - Jaguar Land Rover and Royal Enfield. Ashok Leyland's shares rose as much as 3.3% to a record high after the results.

HYDERABAD: In a major relief for new vehicle buyers in Telangana, permanent registrations will soon be conducted at showrooms, without waiting in long queues at RTA offices.

HYDERABAD: In a major relief for new vehicle buyers in Telangana, permanent registrations will soon be conducted at showrooms, without waiting in long queues at RTA offices. Though this procedure was introduced by the Central government in 2021, the BRS-led government in the state did not adopt it. The Congress government, however, intends to implement it to simplify the registration process for the common man and also to curb extra earnings of corrupt officials. During an interaction, transport minister Ponnam Prabhakar said showroom registrations will commence once the election code of conduct is lifted. The policy of registering new vehicles at showrooms will be implemented soon in Telangana. This move will greatly benefit new vehicle purchasers. As soon as the election code is lifted, the concerned departments will proceed with the necessary actions. He further added, Since this government was formed, we have introduced several people-friendly reforms and will continue to strive for more. On average, around 2,300 new vehicles are registered daily in Telangana. Vehicle owners have expressed frustration over Telangana not adopting it, while the rest of the country has implemented similar policies. M. Purushotham Reddy, RTO Hyderabad, said, This initiative will be welcomed by both the department and vehicle owners. Each day, around 300 vehicles are registered at the RTA Khairatabad alone. Our officers are engaged in inspections throughout the day. According to P. Ramesh, a showroom owner in the city, While other states have already implemented this system, Telangana is still in the process. For instance, our neighboring state Andhra Pradesh has the same policy. This will save consumers time, as everything will be done at the showroom. The required documents, personal details, vehicle body number, chassis number, photographs, etc., can all be handled at the showroom. Nowadays, people are very busy, and taking a day off for registration is difficult, he explained.

0 Powered by Founded in 2019 by Venkatesh B M and Lokesh S, Bangalore-based VOC Automotive is a one-stop solution for multi-brand 2-wheeler service needs and requirements. google-news Follow Us VOC Automotive Founders Working in the automobile industry for about a decade, two friends, Venkatesh B M and Lokesh S, observed a gap in the 2-wheeler automobile industry. They found that 2-wheeler bike users usually don't visit authorized service centers for servicing and other repair work. Because of two reasons: One is that the cost is relatively high in authorized centers compared to unauthorized service centers. Second is that the authorized centers are mostly not available in their proximity. Both Venkatesh and Lokesh belong to humble families. While Venkatesh's father, who was an auto-rickshaw driver, went on to become a businessman, earning to survive, Lokesh's father was a farmer, earning to get by. Life until 12th grade was stable as they lived in their respective villages, where expenses were relatively low. However, financial struggles began to arise when they moved to Bangalore for further education. "We struggled a lot when we moved to Bangalore. We had to look for scholarships for further education," recollected Venkatesh while speaking to Startup Pedia. The co-founders of VOC Automotive met in Sri Jayachamarajendra Polytechnic College (SJP), Bangalore while pursuing Engineering in Automobile. Since then, being good friends, they have been in touch despite working in different cities but in the same companies. They both worked at India Yamaha Motor Pvt Ltd and then Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. While working with Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. as Area Managers they realized their business acumen and understanding of the market, leading them to venture into entrepreneurship together. The Bangalore-based entrepreneurs found a market gap and wanted to bridge it. Hence, in October 2019, they launched their automobile startup called VOC Automotive in Bangalore. Narrating the entrepreneurial journey with Startup Pedia, Venkatesh said, "We both were doing great in our careers, earning handsome salaries. However, when we found a market gap, we were so passionate that we decided to embark on entrepreneurship." VOC Automotive is a one-stop solution for multi-brand 2-wheeler service and repair. They provide multiple services such as general service, major service, paid services, minor service, accidental services, painting & denting, teflon & silencer coating. The startup provides services at 30% lower charges than others without compromising quality. Moreover, it is also solving the problem of proximity by increasing the number of outlets and doorstep services, offering privileged membership so that customers can reduce their costs by more than 30%. In a groundbreaking move in the industry, they offer a warranty: six months if the engine oil is replaced and two years for any off-engine work, full engine work, or major services. This warranty applies to vehicles starting from 2015. This is happening for the first time in the 2-wheeler industry. The startup has an app, VOC Smart Rider for Customer, where people can book any desired service, and it will be done either at the doorstep or at the nearby VOC Automotive center. The startup is also solving the proximity problem by Aggregating hyperlocal authorized and unauthorized 2-wheeler automobile service centers through Smart Dealer App. Since they had a problem-solving startup plan, they managed to raise Rs. 3 crore as pre-revenue funding to start their business. With the business launching in October 2019 with setting up an office. They were working on launching an outlet when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020. That was challenging for them. "We had investors' money that we were burning for about 50 employees' salaries and office space. It was challenging, but we were positive things would fall into place soon," said Venkatesh. In August 2020, they managed to launch the first VOC Automotive outlet in Bangalore. Since then, there has been no looking back. The Bangalore-based automobile startup operated solely through a single outlet during its inaugural year. Subsequently, its expansion was remarkable. By the second year, it had 6 outlets, followed by 10 in the third year, 12 in the fourth year, and a remarkable 71 outlets by the fifth year. "It was like a sort of Chinese bamboo story. The number of outlets increased 7x in the fifth year of our business. It is because our existing outlets have been showing continuous profitability and hence, franchisees believed in us and came forward to own our franchises. Many of our franchisees have multiple franchises," Venkatesh told Startup Pedia. He further added that, currently, there are 107 outlets. Most of the outlets are in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Karnataka , Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and other cities across South India. Except for one, all the other outlets are franchises. Talking about the success stories of VOC Automotive franchises, Venkatesh narrated that a franchisee in Karnatakas Chikkaballapur district makes Rs. 2.5 lakh in profit monthly. Regarding the franchisee model, the total investment required for a franchise is approximately Rs. 25 lakhs. The return on investment (ROI) is expected within two years, with operational break-even achievable in six months. As the number of outlets increased, the number of customers also grew gradually. In the second year, there were 5000 vehicles served; in the third year, it served 20,000 vehicles; and in the fourth and fifth years, the Bangalore-based automobile startup managed to serve 3 lakh customers across all their outlets. With this, the startup's revenue has also been growing exponentially. While there was no business in the first two financial years of launching the business, in the third year, which is FY-22, it made Rs. 2 lahks in revenue; in the 4th year (FY-23), it did Rs. 2.7 crores, and in the 5th year (FY-24), it clocked Rs. 10 crores in revenue. Until now, they have raised Rs. 9 crore in total funding. Of this, Rs. 3 crore was secured as pre-revenue funding. Following that, they obtained investment from family and friends. Moreover, CWI ( Corporate warranty India Pvt Ltd ) which has been in the industry for 25 years and has presence in 5 countries also backed the startup. Currently, the startup is valued at Rs. 103 crore. During the interview with Startup Pedia, Venkatesh shed light on the financial growth of the startup and said, "In FY-25, we are targeting to clock Rs. 100 crore in revenue as we have a rigorous plan for expansion across India." The startup became profitable last year and currently has 20% EBITDA. While elaborating on the expansion plan, Venkatesh said that there will be 300 outlets across India, venturing into the north and west parts of India soon. The automobile startup aims to serve 1.88 lakh vehicles in the current financial year. The startup is on a spree of collaboration to provide top notch services. Such as Collaboration with Insurance companies for accidental claims , EV companies for Service Partnering , Petrol (fuel) Pumps and OEM companies. VOC Smart Rider App, which was launched just a year ago, aims to onboard 4 lakh customers in the current financial year. VOC Smart Dealer will function as a hyperlocal aggregator for two-wheeler customers, allowing them to select their preferred service centers. The automobile startup also plans to launch a vertical where customers can buy and sell pre-owned 2-wheelers through the app. With the aim of creating employment, the startup will soon launch an academy, VOC Technical Academy - VTA, to train and employ 2500 people who are 10th pass or fail. "We are doing this to create employment across India," said Venkatesh. Subscribe to our Newsletter!

What are the differences between 3-cylinder & 4-cylinder engines?

Automobile manufacturers have begun switching to three-cylinder engines for some of their vehicles over emission norms. The difference between three and four-cylinder engines is that the former is smaller, lighter and has fewer moving parts. It offers better fuel efficiency and emits fewer pollutants. However, four-cylinder engines produce more power, torque and have a balanced firing order.

Tesla yet to communicate plans under new EV policy: Govt official

Elon Musk-owned Tesla is yet to communicate its plans to the Indian government under the new EV policy, a government official told PTI. This comes after Musk, who was scheduled to visit India on April 21-22, postponed his trip citing "very heavy Tesla obligations". "They (Tesla) are just silent...The (EV) policy was always meant for everybody," the official said.

US electric carmaker Tesla is 'silent' and yet to communicate its India plans to the government under the new EV policy, an official said on Friday. American tech billionaire Elon Musk, who was scheduled to visit India on April 21-22, had postponed his visit at the last moment citing "very heavy Tesla obligations". Musk, CEO of electric carmaker Tesla, was also slated to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the visit. "They (Tesla) are just silent.. the (EV) policy was always meant for everybody," the official said when asked whether the company has communicated its plans to the government. The commercial decisions are announced by the companies, the official added. An e-mail query sent to Tesla remained unanswered. Earlier in April, he confirmed his visit to India in a post on X saying, "Looking forward to meeting with Prime Minister @NarendraModi in India". In June last year, Musk met with Modi during the latter's US visit and stated that he planned to visit India in 2024 while expressing confidence that Tesla would enter the Indian market soon. His proposed visit had raised expectations that he would announce plans for Tesla to set up shop in the country, along with his satcom venture Starlink. It was expected that Musk would announce plans for Tesla to set up its manufacturing unit in India and investments for the same that could be billions of dollars and the way forward for selling Tesla electric cars in India at the earliest. Not just electric cars, he is also eyeing the Indian market for his satellite internet business Starlink, for which regulatory approvals are awaited. Musk had in the past called for import duty reduction in India to be able to sell Tesla cars in the country. His planned visit to India came weeks after the government announced a new electric vehicle policy under which import duty concessions will be given to companies setting up manufacturing units in the country with a minimum investment of USD 500 million, a move aimed at attracting major global players like Tesla. Last month, an advisor representing Tesla The Asia Group (TAG) attended the first stakeholders' meeting on the new EV policy, along with those from Vietnam's EV maker VinFast and all the major manufacturers in India, including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata, Mahindra, Kia, Skoda Auto Volkswagen India, Renault, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. The stakeholder consultation meeting was aimed at seeking inputs for the guidelines to be framed for the new EV manufacturing policy. As per the policy, the companies that would set up manufacturing facilities for EV passenger cars will be allowed to import a limited number of cars at lower customs/import duty of 15 per cent on vehicles costing USD 35,000 and above for five years from the date of issuance of the approval letter by the government. At present, cars imported as completely built units (CBUs) attract customs duty ranging from 70 per cent to 100 per cent, depending on the engine size and cost, insurance and freight (CIF) value. CBUs whose CIF value is more than USD 40,000 attract a 100 per cent import duty (for petrol engines size more than 3000 cc and diesel engines of size more than 2500 cc). Whereas those with CIF value under USD 40,000 attract 70 per cent duty (for petrol engine sizes under 3000 cc and diesel engine sizes under 2500 cc). CBUs whose CIF value is more than USD 40,000 attract a 100 per cent import duty (for petrol engines size more than 3000 cc and diesel engines of size more than 2500 cc). The new EV policy seeks to promote India as a manufacturing destination for EVs and attract investment from reputed global manufacturers. Last year, Tesla approached the Indian government seeking duty cuts to import its vehicles in India. Discover the latest business news, Sensex, and Nifty updates.

Delhi to Gurugram in 7 minutes via flying taxis

Flying taxis, developed by InterGlobe Enterprises and Archer with Boeing's support, are set to revolutionize urban travel. Metropolitan areas like Delhi and Gurugram will soon witness the introduction of these e-VTOL aircraft, promising swift journeys above congested streets. Approval from regulatory authorities is awaited, with fares expected to be slightly higher than traditional options.

Saturday, July 6, 2024 Rohit Kulkarni May 16, 2024 Metropolitan cities are notorious for their congested streets, where bumper-to-bumper traffic is an everyday struggle. However, a revolutionary solution is on the horizon for residents of Delhi and Gurugram, promising to elevate them above the gridlocked roads and into the skies. InterGlobe Enterprises, the parent company of IndiGo, has partnered with American firm Archer, with backing from aerospace titan Boeing, to introduce flying taxis an innovative mode of urban transportation that combines the convenience of taxis with the freedom of flight. The Promise of Flying Taxis These flying taxis, known as e-VTOL (electrical vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft, are set to transform the way people travel between cities. With a capacity for five passengers, these taxis offer unparalleled comfort and efficiency. The journey between Delhi and Gurugram, which typically takes hours by road, will now be completed in just 7 minutes. But its not just Delhi and Gurugram; flying taxis will also connect key destinations in Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Chennai. The launch is anticipated in 2026, heralding a new era of urban mobility in India. Operational Mechanism The centerpiece of this futuristic transportation system is the 12-rotor Midnight model, designed to provide a seamless travel experience. With ample space for luggage and seating for a pilot and four passengers, these taxis prioritize both comfort and efficiency. Drawing inspiration from similar models in the US, American carrier United is already planning routes between major cities. Archer is awaiting approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the US, paving the way for Indias own flying taxi network pending clearance from the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Affordability and Accessibility Nikhil Goel, Archers Chief Commercial Officer, envisions these air taxi services to be just a slight premium over traditional ground transportation options. With fares expected to be approximately 1.5 times the cost of an Uber ride, rapid and hassle-free travel will soon become a reality for urban commuters. For example, a trip from Connaught Place to Gurugram, which currently costs Rs 500 via app-based taxis, will be priced between Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 with flying taxis, offering unprecedented convenience and efficiency. Conclusion The advent of flying taxis represents a significant leap forward in urban transportation, promising to alleviate traffic congestion and revolutionize the way people commute between cities. With their imminent arrival, residents of Delhi, Gurugram, and other metropolitan hubs can look forward to a future where travel is not just efficient but also exhilarating.

Saturday, July 6, 2024 Rohit Kulkarni May 12, 2024 There is going to be another new entrant in the Indian automobile space in the form of Leapmotor, which is a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer. The company is tying up with Stellantis to make the Indian entry. Notably, Stellantis also recently acquired a stake in global operations of Leapmotor, and now the latter is set to unveil its investment and entry plans for India imminently. Strategic Partnership with Stellantis: Stellantis, with its for brands like Citroen and Jeep, has already carved a name of its own and is a prominent player in the global automotive industry. Tying up with the same would mean substantial gain for Leapmotor. Not just globally, but the brands like Jeep and Citroen have already penetrated the market and further strengthens Leapmotors confidence in its foray into the Indian market. While the picture is not always rosy since there are always challenges in navigating regulatory hurdles especially those which concern cross border investments especially when there is a certain geopolitical background. Hence, in this scenario, Leapmotors partnership with Stellantis provides a strategic advantage in overcoming such regulatory barriers. Securing 20% stake in the company, Stellantis invested of $1.6 billion in Leapmotor last year and the same has paved the way for a robust partnership. This collab has led to the formation of Leapmotor International, a joint venture focused on exporting and selling Leapmotor products globally. Anticipated Impact on the Indian EV Market: Though there are no official comments by Stellantis on Leapmotors India plans but as per the industry sources the anticipation is around the introduction of budget-friendly electric cars which would further raise the bar of competition in the burgeoning green car segment. The India entry strategy of Leapmotor in the Indian EV market is a great development for both, Stellantis and Leapmotor. With the forces combined, a new verve and interesting products are expected by the electric cars and all we can do is wait how this announcement shapes up and where it leads to.

It noted that two-wheeler sales picked up 33% on-year, while three-wheeler sales increased 9% on-year. Tractors also grew 1% YoY and commercial vehicles experienced a modest growth of 2% on year. The passenger vehicle (PV) segment achieved a 16% on-year growth. According to FADA, the outlook for May 2024 is shaped by several positive indicators. Improved vehicle supply and strategic planning in the 2W segment have led to rising customer bookings and better market sentiment, driven by favourable crop yields. In the PV segment, new model launches and favourable monsoon forecasts are set to stimulate customer interest, while bulk deals in the CV segment should bolster demand in sectors like iron ore, steel, and cement. The appeal of new electric models and sustained demand for conventional vehicles are likely to provide further momentum. It further said despite these positive trends, challenges remain. Election uncertainty continues to affect market sentiment, delaying customer conversions and stalling purchasing decisions. Financial constraints, extreme temperatures, and overcapacity in the CV segment could slow growth, while heavy discounting in the PV segment could impact profitability. Seasonal factors such as no marriage dates and a lack of major festive events may also influence demand. The auto industry remains cautiously optimistic about its near-term outlook. Market opportunities exist with rising customer interest in new models. However, election-related uncertainty and financial constraints remain key challenges that the industry will need to monitor closely to navigate this evolving landscape effectively.

World's 1st CNG bike will be launched next month by Bajaj

CNG motorcycles are set to be introduced by Bajaj Auto, as revealed by MD Rajiv Bajaj in an interview. Initial production capacity will be limited as market reactions are gauged, with plans to eventually increase production. Bajaj aims to launch five to six CNG motorcycle models, with the first one expected to be available for sale on June 18, 2024.

Saturday, July 6, 2024 Radhika Kajarekar May 07, 2024 Leading 2W and 3W manufacturer Bajaj Auto is getting ready to introduce CNG motorcycles. MD Rajiv Bajaj revealed plans for the production and pricing strategy of Bajaj Autos upcoming CNG bikes. As we reported previously, the Pulsar NS400Z, the companys largest ever pulse, was just launched. Bajaj To Launch CNG Powered Bikes In an interview with CNBC TV18, Rajiv Bajaj shared details about Bajajs future plans for CNG motorcycles. Production capacity for CNG motorcycles will initially be somewhat constrained while the business gauges the markets reaction. CNG motorcycles have divided opinions; some are drawn to them because of the cheaper operating expenses, while others are worried about weight and balance. Bajaj intends to raise manufacturing in response to market demand after initially aiming to sell about 20,000 CNG motorcycles per month. Given Maruti Suzukis 27% market share of CNG cars, there is a lot of promise for CNG motorcycles. As per reports, five to six CNG motorcycles are planned by Bajaj, with the first one scheduled to go on sale on June 18, 2024. CNG Motorcycles Sighted There have been recorded sightings of the CNG motorcycles, which are currently undergoing testing. Unlike reasonably priced electric scooters, Bajajs CNG motorbikes are not aimed towards the entry-level market. The CNG motorbike test mules have alloy wheels, extended seats, digital displays, knuckle guards, and disc brakes. The CNG motorcycles will be introduced by Bajaj under a new brand name; Trekker, Glider, and Marathon are among the possibilities under consideration. The company plans to launch one or two CNG motorcycles this year, with more models to come. Bajajs plans for CNG motorcycle manufacturing and expansion would be influenced by input from the market. Bajaj has a huge chance with the debut of CNG motorcycles, which might lead to exponential development. Rajiv Bajaj stated, The opportunity is phenomenal, expressing confidence in the ventures success. The possibilities are endless when done correctly. In order to satisfy customer expectations, Bajaj is dedicated to providing CNG motorcycles with cutting-edge features and specs. There are other possibilities being evaluated for the new brand, so the official name for Bajajs CNG motorcycles is still under wraps.

On every Fortuner sale, Govt gets Rs 18 lakh, Toyota gets ₹40,000

The distribution of proceeds from each car sale reveals that manufacturers earn a relatively modest amount, with dealerships and government entities emerging as major beneficiaries. Contrary to popular belief, the bulk of the purchase amount doesn't directly contribute to manufacturers' revenues, highlighting the significant earnings potential for dealerships.

https://trak.in/stories/on-every-fortuner-sale-toyota-gets-rs-40000-govt-gets-rs-18-lakh/?utm_campaign=fullarticle&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=inshorts

Saturday, July 6, 2024 Mohul Ghosh May 06, 2024 As car prices soar globally, particularly in markets like India, understanding the breakdown of costs involved in purchasing a vehicle becomes essential. Contrary to popular belief, the lions share of the price paid by consumers doesnt always go to the manufacturer. Lets delve into the intricate details of how the proceeds from each car sale are distributed among manufacturers, dealerships, and government entities. Manufacturers Share: Despite the hefty price tags attached to vehicles like the Toyota Fortuner, manufacturers earn a relatively modest amount per car sale. In the case of the Fortuner, Toyota earns a mere Rs 35,000-40,000 per unit, highlighting that the bulk of the purchase amount doesnt directly contribute to the manufacturers coffers. Dealership Commissions: Dealerships play a crucial role in the sales process and earn commissions ranging from 2.5-5 percent of the ex-showroom price for each car sold. For instance, a Toyota dealer could pocket around Rs 1 lakh for every Fortuner sold, showcasing the substantial earnings potential for dealerships. Government Taxes and Levies: The government emerges as a major beneficiary of vehicle sales, with significant portions of the purchase amount allocated to various taxes and levies. In the case of the Fortuner, approximately Rs 13 lakh from the ex-showroom price contributes to government coffers through GST components, registration fees, road tax, and other charges. Operating Profits of Manufacturers: Understanding the operating profits of car manufacturers provides insight into their financial viability. While manufacturers struggle to achieve substantial operating profits per car due to hefty government levies, Kia stands out with the highest operating profit per vehicle, followed by Maruti, Tata, and Hyundai. Conclusion: The breakdown of proceeds from each car sale underscores the complex interplay between manufacturers, dealerships, and government entities in the automotive industry. Despite consumers perception that manufacturers earn the lions share, the reality paints a different picture, with dealerships and government entities reaping significant benefits from vehicle sales.

Luminar, sensor maker for self-driving cars, lays off 20% of staff

US-based Luminar Technologies, which develops lidar (light detection and ranging) sensors for self-driving cars, is laying off about 20% of its staff. The company said it will shift towards a more "asset-light" model and outsource more of its industrialisation process to its existing partners. "We have also made the decision to roll off the majority of our contractors," it stated.

https://theprint.in/tech/luminar-to-cut-nearly-20-jobs-as-part-of-restructuring/2069332/?amp=&utm_campaign=fullarticle&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=inshorts

(Reuters) Luminar Technologies, a maker of lidar sensors for self-driving cars, said on Friday that it would cut its workforce by about 20%, as part of a restructuring plan for the current year. As of December last year, the company had nearly 800 full-time employees in the U.S., Germany, Sweden, India and China. Luminar is also looking to sub-lease some of its facilities in portions or fully, reducing global footprint as part of the restructuring. The plan will be implemented immediately and lead to an annual reduction in operating costs by $50 million to $65 million post completion by this years end, the company said. The company launched its latest lidar sensor, Halo, in April, partnering with auto-software maker Applied Intuition to aid car makers in testing their assisted-driving systems. Lidar sensors help self-driving cars and driver-assistance systems gain a three-dimensional map of the road, and is considered a key to achieving full autonomy in vehicles.

Why is there 28% GST on 2-wheelers that common man uses: Rajiv Bajaj

Bajaj Auto MD Rajiv Bajaj has urged the government to lower GST on two-wheelers from current 28% to 12-18%. "Why is it that in India, on vehicles of the common man...we have to pay a GST rate of 28%?" he asked. He added that other ASEAN countries and some Latin nations tax two-wheelers at 8-14%.

The Indian automobile industry is suffering from over regulation, which leads to dramatic increase in costs, said Bajaj Auto managing director Rajiv Bajaj on the sidelines of the launch of Pulsar NS400Z on May 3. He added that motorcycles that cater to the aam aadmi are levied a goods and services tax rate of 28 percent, which is very high compared to other developing markets. This kind of a dramatic change in price is because of many things, but mostly it is because of over regulation of the market, Bajaj said. Also read: Bajaj Auto could have done 'little more a little before' with Pulsar "Why do we have to pay a GST of 28 percent on vehicles that the aam aadmi uses," Bajaj asked, suggesting that it hampers growth of the segment. In most developing countries, including Asean and Latin American nations such as Brazil, the middle- to lower-end motorcycles fall in the tax bracket of 8 to 14 percent, Bajaj said. Also read:Bajaj Auto's 'biggest' Pulsar NS400Z at Rs 1.85 lakh hopes to woo 'new buyers' He further said the introduction of BS-VI and other policy measures to cut emissions are welcome. However, the government should rethink the tax rate levied on such vehicles. As a father I welcome the emission norms, which will ensure clear air. But then the government should re-consider the tax rate and make it 12 or 18 percent rather than 28 percent. Bajaj Auto on May 3 launched its 'biggest' Pulsar - the NS400Z, which is powered by a 373 cc engine. The bike will be available at a price of Rs 1.85 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi and the bookings are now open with an initial sum of Rs 5,000, the company said.

"Two-wheeler volumes have not yet recovered to pre-Covid levels," he told reporters on Friday at the launch event of the new all-new 400cc Pulsar motorcycle. The Pulsar NS 400 will sit on top of the Pulsar range. The Pune-based manufacturer has been on a mission to revitalise its popular Pulsar line up since the last few months. The Pulsar N250 received some much-needed updates recently as well. The Bajaj Pulsar NS400 has been launched at an introductory price of Rs. 1.85 lakh. This is around Rs 46,000 lower than the Dominar and the upcoming Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. Bajaj Auto has a dual-focused strategy aimed at capturing the 400-cc segment market. This strategy entails leveraging their Pulsar brand for higher volumes and partnering with Triumph and KTM to target margins in this segment. "Bajaj Auto's upcoming CNG motorcycle will cut fuel expenses by half," he said. Additionally, Bajaj said the auto maker is closely competing with Honda in the 125-cc segment now as well.
