Scooters to Outpace the Overall Two-wheeler Industry

Today, the introduction of automatic transmission in scooters, increasing urbanization, better roads and a growing number of women consumers are helping turn the wheels in favor of scooters. In the past five years alone, the share of scooters in the overall two-wheeler market in the country has risen at annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20%, whereas motorcycle sales have expanded in low single digits.

In first nine months of Financial Year 2017-18, scooter sales grew by 18.5 per cent, whereas overall two-wheeler sales grew 11.5 per cent. At such outstanding growth rate we can say that the wheels now appear to be turning for scooters to reclaim their leadership status in India’s personal transport industry.

The country’s biggest metropolitan centers now show a distinct preference for scooters. In the past couple of years, one in every two two-wheelers sold in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai is a scooter. The statistics are similar for other aspiring metros, such as Pune, Ahmedabad and Lucknow.

This gender neutral mode of transportation is mostly the first choice of consumers in rural and semi-urban areas, as it’s the growth from these areas, which is about to outpace the overall two-wheeler industry.

Now, the scooter is increasingly becoming a robust alternative to the mass-market motorcycle. The Activa brand of Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has become top seller in FY17.

New Year's Resolutions for Your Car

www.msn.com

2017, has been a great year for the automotive industry, though it bought many challenges along with it. Yet industry dealt with them and stepped into year 2018, with a robust demand for passenger vehicles.

While people are busy setting their resolutions to lose weight and travel more, ShriramAutomall India Limited (SAMIL) look forward to help people fulfill the resolution of taking better care of their beloved automotives.

So, here are some valuable tips to start off the year with healthy car right way.

1. Get your vehicle's body into shape

Most people resolve to get their body into better shape in the New Year. Why not make the same resolution for your vehicle? A simple vehicle maintenance regime -- including measuring your tire pressure, checking for leaks once a month, taking your vehicle in for regular tune-ups and reading the owner's manual -- will help you save money and fuel, and protect the environment.

2. Be a fuel-efficient driver

Aggressive driving and speeding can increase your fuel consumption by as much as 35%. Slowing down, giving yourself more time and planning your routes ahead of time are just a few of the many things you can do to save money and fuel, and lower your vehicle's emissions.

3. Kick the idling habit

New Year's is a great time to start kicking bad habits like unnecessary idling. It's bad for your wallet, your vehicle, the environment and the health of people around you.

4. Avoid using automatic car starters

They encourage idling and waste a lot of fuel. Even on the coldest winter days (and as long as your windows are defrosted) today's electronically controlled engines allow you to drive away 30 seconds after starting the engine.

5. Check your tire pressure

Your tires need special attention during winter. Cold temperatures decrease the air pressure in tires, which adds to the rolling resistance caused by snow and slush. Measure tire pressure regularly, especially after a sharp drop in temperature. For improved fuel efficiency and enhanced safety, give your tires the attention they need.

According to auto finance companies and car marketers, December so far is turning out to be a “very good retail month” with upwards of 10% growth clocked already and better numbers expected in the last week of the month.

The numbers are better this year because of the higher discounts and lower interest rates, as the aggressive discounts and low interest rates are paying off.

Old and Defunct Vehicles to Be Auctioned Off!

imagre ref - http://www.team-bhp.com  

In a joint drive with the municipal corporations, Delhi government’s transport department will soon auction the junked cars which have remained parked for years at one place. The drive will start from south Delhi and later all areas of the city will be targeted. The drives will be carried out by a joint team of the personnel and the respective civic body.

 To target the same and in addition to identify the diesel/petrol vehicles which have crossed their 10/15 years on road run, and are not allowed on the city roads anymore, government is now developing a software through National Informatics Centre (NIC) using which finding out whether a diesel-run vehicle is 10 years old or a petrol-run vehicle is 15-year-old will become easy and quick.

Government is keen to take on the particular initiative as in Delhi, there are thousands of such junked vehicles lying around in the city that are not fit to be driven any more but yet is occupying premium parking space. Many of them don’t even have tyres and are supported by bricks. They particularly stand still just to occupy the parking space; sometimes people intentionally acquire them just to do the same. But now the time for such vehicles has come to an end, now the functional parking space will only be available for the vehicles which are functional.

The department is also in the process of developing a mobile application through which common people will be able to help government, by clicking pictures of junked vehicles and share them along with the GPS location. This will improve the output of the drive taken for the cause, as this will help government to identify such vehicles and take action conveniently. Along with this to discourage misuse of prime space, transport department’s draft parking policy prescribe heavy parking charges for junked vehicles parked on streets.

Shriram Automall India Limited(SAMIL), while playing its part in the national development will come forward and help government to dispose scrap and junk vehicles through its most innovative and transparent bidding platforms.

So, let’s come together and help government in this initiative of making India, technologically advance and clean.

Car Care Tips for Monsoon

As we all know that monsoon is just about to arrive in a month’s time. We bring you the tips & tricks to take care of your car during monsoon season.

 “Monsoon is regarded as one of the most loved season however on the flipside it is a season where majority of car accidents takes place as the risk factor increases substantially. Cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Delhi which receives good amount of rainfall are affected most. Where rain control is not in your hand but taking good care of your car is.” Sameer Malhotra, CEO Shriram Automall India Limited

There are several factors during rainy season which makes driving unsafe & make us extra cautious.

Shriram Automall, India’s leading service provider for buying & selling used commercial vehicles & equipment exclusively brings you useful car maintenance tips.

Most important parts of car which should be checked regularly are:

TYRES – Tyres are one of the most important parts of your car. Make sure the tyres are in excellent condition before monsoon. The tread depth should be good to ride easily on slippery surface avoiding any chances of skid. The tire tread depth should not be less than 2 mm. Rubber has a tendency to soften when coming in contact with water so one should check the tyre pressure regularly and inflate it to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer.

BRAKES – Brake pads are the parts that should be taken extra care of, they should be cleaned & replaced in a regular interval to make them dirt free. Brakes should not be too tight or too loose and you should keep using them frequently as water will most likely wet the brake drums, therefore reducing braking efficiency.

 WIPERS & WASHERS – The blades used in wipers have a tendency to wear out very fast. Make sure you change the rubber before monsoons begin. One should ensure that the rubber is not hard and does not have cracks as they will scratch the windscreen.

ELECTRICALS – Electricals is a department that can cause major accidents during monsoon. Make sure to patch a weak or loose electrical connection; don’t forget to carry extra fuses. Check all the lights, it is advisable to keep your parking light and brake light on while driving during rain.

CAR BODY – Rain water is generally acidic in nature and can damage the cars body if exposed directly for long time. Protect the body of your car by applying a good quality wax polish before monsoon. The wax will not only protect the paint but will also allow water to roll off easily.

ANTI RUST COATING ON CHASSIS – Chassis is the most important part of your car on which it moves. During monsoon the chassis of your car is directly exposed to a lot of water. It is advisable to coat your chassis with anti rust coating to protect it from rusting & give your car a longer run.

With the above tips we hope you enjoy a happy upcoming monsoon with a safe ride with your loved ones.

Acquire Excavators from Shriram Automall

Construction work includes 70% of work to be done with construction machinery. Thus, it is important that you are well versed with all the construction equipment, so that there are fewer chances of any hindrances or complications while operating them. Today we are talking about Excavator, which are very important for construction work.

Excavators are heavy construction equipment which consist a boom, bucket, stick, & cab on a rotating platform known as the "house”. An excavator uses hydraulics or a wire rope pulley system to dig holes or trenches & is also called a digger. Excavators are a natural progression from the steam shovels and often wrongly called as power shovels. All movement and functions of a hydraulic excavator are accomplished through the use of hydraulic fluid, with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors. Due to the linear actuation of hydraulic cylinders, their mode of operation is basically different from the cable-operated excavators which use winches and steel ropes to accomplish the movements.

Excavators are also often called bobcats and backhoes. Along with using them on construction sites, you can use the excavator for heavy lifting in other industries as well, for example mining. An excavator can also be used for the following: demolition, material handling, river dredging, and landscaping.

Excavators are found in many different sizes depending on the job that is required to be done. Small excavators are called compact or mini excavators.  There are 2 types of compact excavators: zero-tail swing and tail swing.
