ABS, Airbags to be obligatory in India from April’2019

Fatal crash rates in India, is highest in the world and part of this stems from car makers, producing vehicles without safety features for money conscious buyers.

Safety features like ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) and airbags are mostly associated with premium cars in the price conscious automobile industry. People often tend to overlook these features in a verge to save some money on the car they buy. However the ministry of road transport & highway issued an official statement, making it mandatory. This move is fundamentally aimed to make Indian cars fit with all the safety parameters kept in mind.

In fiscal year (2015-16) Ministry of Road Transport and Highway (MoRTH) made the anti-lock braking system (ABS) mandatory for commercial vehicles (CVs), which was indeed an important step leading to road safety on Indian Roads. ABS turned up to be quite beneficial feature for especially for wide range of heavy CV’s which were prone to skid & wheels likely to lock more often.

ABS is a feature which uses wheel speed sensors to determine if one or more wheels are trying to lock up during braking. If a wheel tries to lock up, a series of hydraulic valves limit or reduce the braking on that wheel. This prevents skidding and allows you to maintain steering control which makes it an efficient & essential feature which must be installed in every vehicle especially with the growing number of raging young drivers.

Government is playing its crucial role in making road ways safer by implementing foremost measures for road safety. Though according to government’s rough estimate, including both airbags & ABS will increase 10% to the cost of the base model.

Life is a one way road, where you can look back but can’t go back, so it’s better to go safe than cheap!

Keeping this in mind government is also planning to set up its own safety authority i.e. Bharat National Car Assessment Programme (NCAP), which will rate vehicles based on their safety. India will also have a rating system for cars based on their fuel efficiency. (MoRTH) have set October’2017 as a deadline for all the new models to come to pass the minimum frontal and car crash test along with pedestrian protection tests.

All these measures which government is taking show their objective of better and safe tomorrow with vehicle compliant with all future regulations.

Mr. Sameer Malhotra (CEO, Shriram Automall) shared his views “I am glad to see that government is taking all the essential steps in an organized manner betterment of roadways in India, while keeping in mind the worth of driver’s life. Installation of these features will also increase the life and road value of vehicles.  Being the no.1 provider of used automotive in India, I look forward to follow these while playing my part for better tomorrow with safety on board.”

SAMIL while playing its part & following government rules has an inventory full of used CV’s that came in fiscal year (2015-2016) with ABS compulsorily installed at the time of manufacturing only. So if you’re looking forward to acquire used vehicles compatible with new coming rules, your nearby Automall is the right place to go.

If this comes true, it will be the second highest sales volume recorded in the domestic tractor market in a year after sales surged 20% to a record high of 6,34,151 units in 2013-14. Between April and October 2016, tractor sales accelerated 25% over that in the previous year. After falling 14% in November, sales picked up in December to grow 7% over that a year ago.

Used Vehicles’ Appeal on the Rise for Masses as well as Classes

One is often found contemplating hard when it comes to buying a vehicle for personal use or otherwise for the market is flooded with all kinds of varieties today. If we talk about the automobile industry, particularly the passenger cars and two wheeler vehicles, used vehicles were looked down upon almost a decade back. People had always related used vehicles as cheap and worthless investment as they were never expected to perform in the slightest.

Interestingly, the scenario has completely turned topsy-turvy with the current times witnessing greatly enhanced popularity for the used vehicles segment. Considering the latest reports surfacing, it may not be entirely incorrect to say that the growth of used vehicles market may now even be an alarming call to the firmly established new vehicles industry. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the used vehicles segment has to be its wide range of options available today at highly reasonable prices. This power of choice being catered to the masses at such competitive prices is what has attracted increasing number of individuals to consider going for a high-end used vehicle as opposed to a mid-level new one.

While this certainly comes to fulfilling that much deep-rooted aspiration for luxury in the general public given our brand-ruled environs today, the sort of quality and experience it offers along is a cherry on the cake for society’s middle-class section. In addition to the cost factor, there are several different problems being faced by the people today, biggest one of them being of parking your vehicle anywhere and everywhere at ease. This lack of space availability results in vehicles being stuffed together in a rather compact area, often leading to ugly scratches and dents in all vehicles. Thus, preference for used vehicles gets further enhanced.

Discussing about the vehicles segment, we almost unfailingly mention about the middle class alone and simply forget to associate the higher class people with it. This is not the case anymore for even the classes are considering used vehicles as their second or even third alternative vehicles either for menial jobs carried through their employees or merely as contingency vehicles. These changes in lifestyles, surroundings, thinking as well as the improved quality and prices of the used vehicles together contributes towards heightened appeal for pre-owned vehicles now.     

Either you belong to the middle class segment or the higher class, if you wish to purchase any pre-owned vehicles or construction equipments (if in business), you have reached just the right place. Your search ends here at Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) with its wide array of used vehicles there for its customers to freely review and then bid for the same in its professional auction events.

CHEERS TO A SIMPLE & ROADSTER LIFE ON A PRE-OWNED CAR

When you hear the word roadster, what strikes your mind? an open-top car with two seats or a bike making rocketing sound on empty road or a horse riding on the road. To me it’s simply a feeling of driving the car of my choice on a long highway with good music and friends.

The time when I perused a job I knew my roadster dream is on a verge of being realized, however I knew that at this point of time I simply cannot afford a new car of my choice. What I did next just changed the way I use to think about pre-owned cars.

From the word go I knew that I need a car that is fast, comfortable, gives good mileage and is equipped with latest technology, so I decided the brand and model that I wanted. I went to some of my nearby car dealers to check the model and get the idea about its price.

A friend of mine suggested to check online and by just typing the words ‘pre-owned cars in Delhi’ I was thrown with a number of websites offering  the best used cars at competitive price, but what really got my attention was this website called ‘bids.samil.in’. The variety was great and quite aptly suited my choice as well. So, I decided to participate in one of their online bidding events.

The online used car bidding experience was just so thrilling. I had chosen my car and the moment bidding started on it, I simply stuck myself on a chair and played the bid game. I had to win it; so I ensured my bid to be the highest. And yes, it made me the winner of my chosen used car. It has been a year that I am the owner of that second hand car.

Now I take pride in owning the car of my choice and the price of my liking through Shriram Automall.

“At SAMIL, we give utmost importance to our online presence through bids.samil.in for the used cars segment. Those huge physical marketplaces are gradually shifting to the world of internet and we are eyeing at a leading position within the space.” – Mr. Sameer Malhotra, CEO, SAMIL

TIPS TO MAINTAIN A USED DOZER

Of all the machines in the earthmoving world, bulldozers, particularly large ones may have the greatest variation when it comes to owning and operating costs. Steady maintenance is key factor to keep the dozers in optimum condition irrespective of the age of the equipment, geographical and weather conditions. Age is the most important thing which acts upon the performance of a dozer. If you have purchased a used dozer, you have to take extra care. As a used dozer has undergone wear and tear for many years, its level of performance automatically comes down. Proper care of the undercarriage can significantly minimize maintenance costs, increase uptime and impact the longevity of the dozer.

You may have faced problems with the performance of your old dozer many times and at the same time, you cannot stop using this construction equipment as it plays a major role in a construction site. So, why not spend some time in maintaining your dozer properly.

Tips to maintain a dozer properly

• Checkups for steady repair - Regular checkups of the dozer are essential to ensure a good working condition. You should change the oil and other fluids in a systematic interval. If you keep your dozer in extremely wet climatic condition, it will damage more quickly. It is because rust will form rapidly on the important parts of the machine. In case of used dozers, the chains, bolts and the undercarriage should be checked to detect the damaged parts.

• Cleaning of the track frame – To work in muddy conditions especially in winter freezes the mud on the track frame of the dozer. Therefore, you cannot ignore cleaning off the mud while the equipment is still warm. Use a track spade which perfectly fits into the gap between the track and the frame making the work of cleaning smoother for you. After cleaning, park the dozer either in the snow or on aged tires.

• Maintenance of Electrical system – Proper maintenance of electrical system which consists of batteries and wires should not be overlooked. Their periodical checkup is necessary to avoid short circuit. Replace the damage or old battery instantly once you detect them. Your wire should be good enough with an efficient fuse system.

Used Construction Equipment can be easily acquired by connecting with Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL), the leader in the industry of pre-owned vehicles. SAMIL provides customers with wide range of used construction equipment and commercial & non-commercial vehicles. Online bidding along with physical bidding options are available from where customers can easily purchase their desired pre-owned vehicles.

Sun Power to Harvest your Land

As a farmer land is the most important thing that you own in your life and harvesting it in the best way is your primary duty for better income. In today’s world when the industry is moving towards autonomous vehicles, the farm equipment industry is thriving to develop tractors that are powered by electricity.

Developing electric powered tractor is not a concern anymore; however what a major concern is the fact that the batteries used to power these tractors takes significant amount to charge & the time that charge lasts.

Most recently engineers have come up with an effective solution that charges your tractors battery while you are harvesting your land by using the solar power. Using solar power as the fuel to charge your batteries will first result in reducing the cost and second will be loved by environmentalist for reducing the emission rate to a considerable level.

To what extent electric power tractors can be used on a single charge will totally depend on the size of batteries used and their efficiency. It will use the all new lithium-ion batteries that are the same kind that powers your cell phone or laptop. They charge quickly and last longer too.

Highlights of Electric (Solar Powered) Tractor:

• ·         Silent & Clean Operation
• ·         Saves money & energy
• ·         Increased Return Over Investment (ROI)

Indian cars failing crash test; who would take the blame?

Source - http://b-i.forbesimg.com/

Indian cars have always been in news for offering poor safety measures and when we come across the reports of cars going under a crash test by the New Car Assessment Program, we tend to worry as we now know what the result will be.

After the circulation of these reports begin the blame game & whom to point fingers at. We have three main players who play a key role in deciding upon the standards of Indian cars.

The Manufacturers

It’s almost certain that the first people we will point fingers at will be the manufacturers themselves as they are the ones who sell unsafe cars to us. In the latest crash test we had three versions of the Renault Kwid, Mahindra Scorpio, Hyundai Eon, Maruti Eeco and Maruti Celerio. As per reports all these seven cars have an unstable body and zero capacity to stand a situation of accident.

As Indian car buyers are extremely price conscious they tend to buy a car which is cheap in price, that’s why manufacturers in order to reduce their cost use cost effective material which may be subsidized on security measures.

The Government

The fact is not unknown that the car safety norms in India have not kept pace with the changing times & technologies. Now the government is all set to introduce the Bharat New Vehicle Safety Assessment Program (BNVSAP) which will make India’s car safety more stringent.

As the road network is expanding & quality is checked, the cars launching today are capable of reaching very high speed which on the other hand can be lethal. 

Government needs to ensure that the basic safety features are installed in all models making the buyers safe.

The Car Buyer

Ultimately it is the car buyer who decides to buy a car with high price value or not. The question here is a matter of life & death and we cannot put a price on life. Buyers need to pay extra attention to the safety features while buying a new car, this will give manufactures the required confidence in making good cars with added safety measures. Make the right choice, spending little more on safety will only help you in the years to come.

“While price is an important factor before making a purchase decision for all Indian buyers, we must never forget that spending a bit extra on safety measures will only save you and your loved ones” Sameer Malhotra, CEO Shriram Automall

Meanwhile if you are looking to buy a used car anywhere in India you can visit Shriram Automall, the company offers widest range of used vehicles of all make & models under single roof.
