ON ROAD EMISSION TESTING NOW BEGIN AUTOMOTIVE RESEARCH ASSOCIATION OF INDIA STARTS VEHICLE TESTING

Ref - http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/

Vehicular pollution has always been one of the major concerns of Indian Government & to combat that various state government has introduced a number of initiatives, most popular being the ‘Odd & Even Scheme by Delhi Government. Later the government informed the automobile industry that it needs to upgrade their vehicles to BH VI compliant engines by the year 2020.

With its aim to contribute its part the Automotive Research Association of India starts on road emission testing in Pune to collate data about tail-pipe emissions. Currently only lab based testing is compulsory in India however the on-road testing will be compulsory in India too by 2023, three years after the implementation of Bharat Stage-VI regime on April 1, 2020.

Experts consider the on-road testing to be a way more efficient model to measure emissions. “If you carefully study emissions notification under BS-VI, it prescribes the closeness with which real emissions happen with respect to the standard lab condition. We will start collecting data (for BS-IV compliant vehicles) on some sections of expressways, national and state highways, cities and village 

roads. This will be done in a mix and match manner,” Rashmi Urdhwareshe, director, ARAI, said.

Mr. Sameer Malhotra, CEO Shriram Automall said ‘Vehicular pollution in my view does not contribute a large extent but what’s important is when the industry moves to BS VI engines they will contribute much less then what the number is now. Collecting data for BX IV vehicles & then comparing it will BS VI compliant vehicle will help the agency to find what I think will be called a stark difference. I am optimistic about the years to come that India will rise high and contribute less pollution in every possible way’

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN DISPOSE YOUR PRE-OWNED CAR ONLINE

Planning to dispose off your pre-owned car online? In this age of digital era, selling your pre-owned car through the local newspaper classified will take a lot of time. Newspaper Classified listings are designed to merely present inventory to shoppers and only last for a day or two. Consequently, the listings have less information to revel the car details and the interested customer has to call to make an appointment and see the vehicle. An online listing, on the other hand, is transactional and user can upload detailed information along with good photographs of the pre-owned car. Online sellers have the potential of reaching a larger market than local classifieds.

Here are the key points to guide you for trading online easily:

Do your Homework

While trading your car online, there is nothing more valuable than knowledge. Here are few things you should know about the car you are disposing:

·        Year/Make/Model/VIN/Factory Paint Color Code/Date of Manufacture

·        What are the common issues for this particular car? Have they been addressed?

·       How large is the displacement of the engine? On average, how many miles per liter does  the car return combined?

·         What is the average selling price for a car in this condition?

There are innumerable information hubs available from where you can easily learn about your car and other related information or you can just hire a mechanic.

Detail the Car

One of the first things that buyers notice is the condition of the car. Detailing a car is an art, but it need not be an expensive one. You'd likely be fine giving the car a cheap hand wash locally, but detailing allows you to virtually polish money into the finish of the car.

Take as many detailed pictures as possible

Pictures speak a thousand words and even before looking at the information what a buyer is interested in is looking at the cars photos. Make sure to take as many high-resolution pictures as possible. Modern point-and-shoot cameras have great dynamic range and amazing quality. Don’t use your mobile phones to take pictures with cell phone cameras, as their lenses leave a lot to be desired, and have a tendency of compressing images and decreasing quality.

Be Easy To Reach

Always include your contact details, preferably your mobile number after uploading a classified as it will give buyers a point of contact for more information. It's insanely frustrating to see a good deal, but the seller only has email as a viable means of contact.

Don't Buckle On the Price

If you own a good car which is desirable, you will definitely get a lot of buyers and most of these buyers will ask a good discount. Don’t get bullied by these buyers, keep in your mind the price you wish to sell you car. It's important that you choose a price that's realistic, based on market value. If your price is negotiable, inflate it by 10 percent, with a "Best Offer" option. That way the buyer feels like they saved some money and the seller gets the most that they can for their car. 

Looking to dispose your pre-owned car online but confused which portal to try? Connect with Shriram Automall India Limited and access to their online bidding platform, from where you can easily dispose your used cars and SUV’s. Online Car Bidding is a unique feature that is available with SAMIL and attracts customers due to the transparent approach acquired by SAMIL.

DRIVING IN FOG? HERE ARE SOME CAUTIONS TO TAKE

Ref - http://www.tipmine.com/

Winters are finally here and it has already made us think twice before getting out of the bed from the cozy quilt and go to work. With work we remember driving a car. There are some days in winters where most part of the country are fogged up and makes driving difficult. Here we bring you some tips on how to drive better on a foggy winter morning.

Mist is a common problem on a winter morning, to tackle this most of us runs dry wipers to clean it. Don’t do this; instead run the wipers with fluid for better car hygiene and cleanliness.

As there is difference between the temperature outside and in your car, your windows will easily fog up and minimize visibility. Hence to clear the fog, use the front and rear defogger and switch the AC.

While sitting make sure you adjust your seat to the highest level for a clear view and keep your eyes fixed on the road.

You are advised not to drive in HIGH BEAM as it will reduce the visibility in fog and may even give you illusion of white wall. However your headlight and fog lamp will come in handy.

You will drive better if you follow the white lines on the road and by keeping the Google map in your hand for a better road idea. Bigger vehicles emit more heat and therefore tend to disperse more amount of fog around, so it is a good idea to drive behind a truck or a bus in foggy conditions, but don't forget to maintain appropriate distance.

Tires play an important role as an automobile component. Many parts may make up a car but usually one part is limited to one function. Despite its simple appearance, a tire differs from other parts in that as it has numerous functions. No matter how good an engine your car has, how good interiors it has , what basic speed and acceleration it has, in the end it all comes down to tires and how they can alter your car’s performance on the road. So it is essential to take care of your tires and ensure to take necessary steps to improve their lives. You can follow the below given steps for ensuring maximum life of tires-

Keep your tires properly inflated

If you are driving with tires that are properly inflated, you will surely get the best mileage for your car along with better tire durability.  Check your tires with a tire pressure gauge once a week, preferably in the morning to get the best result as the car remains stationary in night.  By checking tire pressure regularly, you can make sure your tires are properly inflated across all the seasons ultimately maximizing their usage.

 Follow good driving habits

Fast start, sudden breaks and turns can lead to wearing of tires. By following proper traffic rules and having right driving habits surely benefits the driver. Also try to avoid road hazards like potholes and debris in the road and save them from wearing off.

Keep Tires Aligned

This is different from tire balance. Tire alignment ensures that your tires remain perpendicular to the ground and parallel to one another. Misaligned wheels can greatly reduce the life of your tires.

Rotate & Balance Tires

Tires should be rotated every 6,000-8,000 miles, so it’s easiest to remember to rotate them every other oil change. The reason we do this is be because front tires wear faster by moving them to the back, you prolong their life. Having properly balanced tires reduces vibration when driving. This vibration can increase wear within your tire components.
 

So from now on, keep these tips in your mind to make tires last longer. These simple tips do not require much of your time or money, but can prove to be very useful for having a good driving experience.
