Automotive Interiors Expo 2010
Automotive interiors expo 2010 which was organized in june2010 was deemed a successful exhibition by all visitors and exhibitors. Though it was a small exhibition in itself it catered to its aim quite efficiently and gained a lot of appreciation from people all around.
Automotive interiors expo is a new show that displays the automobile designs, its development, engineering and manufacturing techniques. The exhibition displays highest quality interiors for trucks and cars with the best manufacturing technology involved in its manufacturing.
The show held this year in June was visited by around 1200 people from automobile world, car manufacturers and interior designers. Apart from this group of society, a lot of component and material suppliers also attended the exhibition.
The automotive interior expo 2010 overall was a great experience to all visitors and exhibitors. It made people aware of new technology and gave them an idea on what’s going on in Europe.
Future of Auto Design
Automotive manufacturers always face the challenge of designing new and efficient designs of their upcoming cars which stand to the market requirements for sleeker designs.
For over twenty years automotive manufactures are using the power of 3D to design and create great technically advanced vehicles as it has become a need for them to survive.
Designs for cars of future are becoming sleeker and are equipped with all new technology that make them fast and very fuel economical as well.
The close future of auto design truly lies in hybrid cars which provide efficiency and speed as well.For instance BMW has entered the future car design market with their new design M6. It comes with a curvy and sleek design and a very powerful 500hp engine.
Apart from BMW, Toyota upcoming Camry hybrid is also interesting, though the details for this vehicle are not yet available.The future is surely very bright for auto designing companies as the need for greener and more efficient vehicles will always keep the market sparked.
Formula 1 Cars Engineering:
A formula1 car is built with some of the best engineering techniques which are known today. This combination of technology with features enables driver to speed up to 360 kilometres per hour.
To make the car to travel to such high speeds they are designed with expensive carbon fibre which is very strong and provides great strength. The vehicle is only a few centimetres above the road to provide car close grip with the road and give it the highest speed.
One can examine the fuel consumption of a F1 car by the fact that at full speed a F1 fuel pump delivers petrol faster than water which flows out of a kitchen tap.
Another engineering skill built in formula1 cars is the aerodynamics which it uses to generate down force. This force is 2 –and-a-half times its own weight which makes it stick to the road.
Formula1 cars today mean engine with capacity of three litres or less with ten cylinders and the minimum car weight around 600kgs.
Astra OPC/VXR
The Opel Astra OPC/VXR also known as Vauxhall Astra is considered as a big competition to the Ford Focus RS.This Autocar by Astra is turbocharged with 2.0 litre petrol tank with four cylinder engine with 300 horsepower.
Unlike the Opel Insignia OPC/ VXR, the Astra will soon to be front-wheel drive car. This is equal to the GM supply of an automobile with an electronic differential to assistance assuage torque drive.
The car is expected to sale in late 2011, the prohibited hatch will come with an assertive body pack with revised bumpers and flared circle arches along with a roof mounted spoiler.
The company has not yet launched the diesel version but there are chances for the same to be launched very soon with 160 horsepower engine.
For the coming generation the company is thinking to launch an OPC model with 238 bhp but the technicians and engineers are still looking for more options so as to make the OPC more powerful.
Porsche targets to sell 50 Panamera Cars in India
A German sports car company, Porsche is eyeing to achieve the sales target of selling 50 Panamera cars in India this year.This car was launched in India in October last year and since then it has already sold 25 cars till now. 16 of them will be delivered in 2010 and the company has set a target figure of selling 50 Panamera cars at the end of this year.
In India Panamera will range from Rs.59 lakhs and goes upto Rs.2 crore. If we talk about early sales figures Porsche sold its different segment cars to 94 people in India.
Recently Porsche has launched the 2nd Generation Cayenne in Mumbai. The cayenne has come in hybrid version too. The price starts for this car from Rs.65 lakhs and it is as high as Rs.1.2 crore for the top end models.
The other models of cars include Cayenne, Boxster and Caymen which have already been launched.
Porsche Green lights 918 Hybrid
Porsche Green lights 918 Hybrid is a super car which was unveiled in early 2010 at the Geneva Motor show and the company promises to the consumers that this car will be their sweetest car.
But for buying this car, the customers have to spend nothing less than $600,000. The company assures its customers to give exceptional performance of the car along with stellar fuel economy and emissions.
Porsche says that the car will go from zero to 100 km/hr in less than 3.2 seconds and can even hit the top speed of 198 miles. The car emits just 70 g/km of carbon di oxide and consumes 3 litres per 100 kilometres.
It has an engine of 500 horsepower based on V8 along with 3.4 litre petrol tank which was there in Porsche RS Spyder race car.The car also has 4 modes that range from full electric mode to race mode so that it provides effectiveness to the wind along with the use electric motors which acts as a “push to pass” feature of this car.
Although the price of the car is so high, there are at least 1000 people who are interested in buying this car.
Concrete Pumps Truck
Concrete pump trucks are a type of automobiles which carry liquid concrete mixture from one place to another or to the construction site.
They are used to transfer the concrete mixture quickly to the construction site but they cannot transfer from remote areas or the external sites to the project location site.
Concrete pumps are pieces of machinery used for moving liquid concrete quickly. Concrete pumps come in a variety of sizes; however in most cases, concrete pumps are large, industrial machines used for professional construction projects. It is also known as cement mixer.
There are larger drums on the cement mixing truck which rotate constantly to prevent the concrete mixture from setting up or from becoming rigid.
Small amount of water is added to the mixture after every 10 or 15 minutes so that the mixture keeps on moving.
Thus concrete mixture pumps are very useful at a construction site as they help in moving liquid mixture from one place to another.
