Tata Motors 2012: Fuel and Propulision Technologies

TATA MOTORS
2012
Introduction
An automobile or motor car is a wheeled motor vehicle for transporting passengers; which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have . seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. Automobile comes via the French language, from the Greek auto [self] and mobiles [moving]; meaning a vehicle that moves itself, rather than being pulled or pushed separate animal or another vehicle. Although Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot is often credited with building the first self -propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769.Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road locomotive in 18 In 1892, German engineer Rudolf Diesel was granted a patent for a "New Rational Combustion Engine. In 1897 he built the first Diesel Engine. In 1895, Selden was granted a United States patent (U.S. Patent 549,160) for a two-stroke automobile engine. Steam, electric, and gasoline-powered autos competed for decades, with gasoline internal combustion engines achieving dominance in the 1910s.01, the first truly successful steam-powered road vehicle.
FUEL AND PROPULISION TECHNOLOGIES Most automobiles in use today are propelled by gasoline (also known as petrol) or diesel internal combustion engines, which are known to cause air
pollution and are also blamed for contributing to climate change and global warming. Increasing costs of oil-based fuels, tightening environmental laws and

r e s t r i c t i o n s on greenhouse gas emissions are propelling work on alternative power systems for automobiles. Efforts to improve or replace existing technologies include the development of hybrid vehicles, and electric and hydrogen vehicles which do not release pollution into the air.
DIESEL (DIESEL ENGINE) Diesel-engine cars have been popular in Europe with the first models being introduced in the 1930s by Mercedes Benz and Citroen. The main benefit of diesel engines is a 50% fuel burn efficiency compared with 27%. GASOLINE (PETROL ENGINE) Gasoline engines have the advantage over diesel in being lighter and able to work higher rotational speeds and they are the usual choice for fitting in highperformance sports cars. Continuous development of gasoline engines for over a hundred years has produced improvements in efficiency and reduced pollution. BIOACOH QLS AND BIOGASOLINE Ethanol, other alcohol fuels (biobutanol) and biogasoline have widespread automotive fuel. Most alcohols have less energy per liter than gasoline and are usually blended with gasoline.
ELECTRIC CARS
The first electric cars were built around 1832, well before internal combustion powered cars appeared. For a period of time electrics were considered superior

due to the silent nature of electric motors compared to the very loud noise of the gasoline engine. STEAM CARS Steam power, usually using an oil or gas heated boiler, was also in use until the 1930s but had the major disadvantage of being unable to power the car until boiler pressure was available. COST AND BENEFITS OF USAGE The costs of automobile usage, which may include the cost of: acquiring the vehicle, repairs, maintenance, fuel, depreciation, parking fees, tire replacement, taxes and insurance, are weighed against the cost of the alternatives, and the value of the benefits perceived and real of vehicle usage. The benefits may include on demand transportation, mobility, independence and convenience.
"INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY"

Peter Drucker called the automobile industry as "the industry of industries". During the last few years, the production and management systems have been revolutionized in the automobile industry . One of the major changes in t h e industry has been the opening up and growth of several emerging markets. I n d i a is one of the most important emerging car economies in the world today. In 1991, the Government of India embarked on an ambitious structural adjustment programme aimed at economic liberalization, based on the pillars of Delicensing, decontrol, Deregulation and Devaluation. Post-liberalization, the Government of new automobile policy announced in June 1993 contained measures, such is deli

censing, automatic approval for foreign holding of 51% in Indian companies abolition of phased manufacturing programme, reduction of excise duty to 40% and import duties of CKD to 50% and of CBU to 50% and of CBU to 110%, and commitment to indigenization schedules. The Government of India's new automobile policy two Korean companies. Toyota end Chrysler are also seeking to enter the country with suitable Indian partners. In addition, there are three existing Indian companies, Hindustan Motors, Premier Automobiles and Telco, and one Indo- Japanese venture, Maruti already in the passenger car market. Maruti is by far the biggest player with about 70% of the market share. As of April 1997, a total of 7 Automobile companies (Daewoo, Peugeot, Fiat, Ford, General Motors, Merc, Audi) have already started selling cars, while another 8 companies (Honda, Renault, VW, BMW, Toyota, Hyundai, Chrysler) have either begun operations in India or plan to start soon. Some Indian companies like Telco and Kinetic are also working on introducing small car models.
THE INDIAN FOUR-WHEELER INDUSTRY

The 4W industry in India has not quite matched up to the performance of nterparts in other parts of the world. The primary reason for this has been pervasive regulatory atmosphere prevailing till the opening up of the industry in the mid-1990s. The various layers of legislative Acts sheltered the industry from external competition for a long time. Moreover, the industry was considered lowpriority as cars were thought of as "unaffordable luxury". Initially in the post-liberalization period, the automotive sector, especially the passenger car segment, saw a boom. The buoyancy in the sector was derived primary from economic vibrancy, changes in Government policies, and increase
TATA MOTORS

in purchasing (especially of the upper middle class), improvement in life styles inability of car finance. The passenger car industry was finally deregulated in 1993, and many companies, both Indian and foreign (like Daewoo, General Motors, and DaimlerChrysler), entered the market. However, the smooth sailing suddenly disrupted in the last quarter of FY1996. The automobile industry, which
contributed substantially to industrial growth in FY 1996, failed to maintain the same momentum between FY1997 and FY1999. The overall slowdown in the
economy and the resultant slowdown in industrial production, political uncertainty and inadequate infrastructure development were some of the factors
responsible for the slowdown experienced by the automobile industry. In

FY2000, the sector experienced a turnaround, posted positive growth rates
and witnessed the launch of many new models. But the spectacular growth in FY2000 was followed by a decline in FY2001 and only a marginal growth of 0.5% in FY 2002. However, since FY2003, industry sales have increased at a 3-year. CAGR of 1+- 7.4% to 1.14 million in FY2006. Although there was a slowdown in FY2006, after the high growth in FY2004-05, the recent high growth has been on the strength of an increase in the disposable income of middle-income salaried people, release of pent-up demand, and easy availability of credit.

POJECT METOHODOLOGY
DEMAND CHARACTERSTICS Passenger Cars: In developed markets, engine capacity and wheel-base are the bases of segmentation of passenger cars: price does playa role but only up to a point. Since affordability is the most important demand driver in India, the domestic car market had until now been segment on the basis of vehicle price. Price-based competition takes place in a continuum rather than in segments since nearly all the models are launched in multiple versions at different price points. As a result, a higher-end variant may compete with a lower end variant of a car in a segment above it. MUVs: The MUV segment consists of vehicles that are suited to both rural and urban areas. In rural areas where the roads are usually bad, these vehicles are used as goods carriers and also for public transportation. Northern and Western India a c c o u n t f o r nearly two-thirds of the demand for MUV. Specifically, in States like Rajasthan ,
Madhya
Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, the
demand for MUVs the largest. There are three segments of buyers for MUVs: the private Government, and the Defense. Until the 1990s, the Government and segments accounted for the largest share of the market. The reduction in Government and defense spending since the 1990s has substantially reduced sales two segments. This has pushed private sector purchases into greater prominence. The project is on the topic "marketing and promotion Strategy of Adishakti motors which is situated in Shimoga. The study also gives a bird's eye view of the Adishakti motors.

venture assembly operations in Kenya, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Russia, Senegal and South Africa.
The foundation of the company's growth over the last 50 years is a deep understanding of economic stimuli and customer needs, and the ability to translate them into customer-desired offerings through leading edge R&D. With over 3,000 engineers and scientists, the company's Engineering Research Centre, established in 1966, has enabled pioneering technologies and products. The company today has R&D centers in Pune, Jamshedpur, Lucknow, Dharwad in India, and in South Korea, Spain, and the UK. It was Tata Motors, which developed the first indigenously developed Light Commercial Vehicle, India's first Sports Utility Vehicle and, in 1998, the Tata Indica, India's first fully indigenous passenger car. Within two years of launch, Tata Indica became India's largest selling car in its segment. In 2005, Tata Motors created a new segment by launching the Tata Ace, India's first indigenously developed mini-truck. In January 2008, Tata Motors unveiled its People's Car, the Tata Nano, which India and the world have been looking forward to.
The Tata Nano has been subsequently launched, as planned, in India in March 2009. A development, which signifies a first for the global automobile industry, the Nano brings the comfort and safety of a car within the reach of thousands of families. The standard version has been priced at Rs.100000 (excluding VAT and transportation cost).

Designed with a family in mind, it has a roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Its mono-volume design will set a new benchmark among small cars. Its safety performance exceeds regulatory requirements in India. Its tailpipe emission performance too exceeds regulatory requirements. In terms of overall pollutants, it has a lower pollution level than two-wheelers being manufactured in India today. The lean design strategy has helped minimize weight, which helps maximize performance per unit of energy consumed and delivers high fuel efficiency. The high fuel efficiency also ensures that the car has low carbon dioxide emissions, thereby providing the twin benefits of an affordable transportation solution with a low carbon footprint.
In May 2009, Tata Motors introduced ushered in a new era in the Indian automobile industry, in keeping with its pioneering tradition, by unveiling its new range of world standard trucks called Prima. In their power, speed, carrying capacity, operating economy and trims, they will introduce new benchmarks in India and match the best in the world in performance at a lower lifecycle cost.

small car would be the most practical new venture. So in 1998 it launched Tata Indica, India's first fully indigenous passenger car. Designed to be inexpensive and simple to build and maintain, the Indica became a hit in the Indian market. It was also exported to Europe, especially the UK and Italy. In 2004 it acquired Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle, and in late 2005 it acquired 21% of Aragonese Hispano Carrocera giving it controlling rights of the company. It has formed a Joint Venture with Marcopolo of Brazil, and introduced low-floor buses in the Indian Market.
About Tata motors o Tata Motors were established on September 1, 1945, originally for the manufacturing of Steam Locomotives at Jamshedpur. o In 1969 Tata Motors had become an independent producer of Medium Commercial Vehicles. It had also developed the capability of designing, testing and manufacturing such vehicles. o It is the countrys leading commercial vehicle manufacturer and has significant presence in the multi-utility and passenger car segments. o With the Launch of Tata Indica, an Euro 2 compliant vehicle, is the countrys first indigenously designed, developed and manufactured passenger car. o With the launch of Tata Nano, Tata has penetrated the market to its extreme by making a car available for Rs. 132000 only. This is the cheapest car in India till date and with the announcement of its diesel variant it has made potential buyers to eagerly wait for it.

The Tata Indica is a hatchback automobile range manufactured by Tata Motors of India. It is the first passenger car from Tata Motors and is also considered India's first indigenously developed passenger car. As of August 2008, more than 910,000 Indicas were produced, and the platform had spawned off close to 1.2 million vehicles. The annual sales of Indica has been as high as 144,690 units in 2006-07. Current monthly sales of Indica is around 8000 units. The models have also been exported to Europe, Africa and other countries since late in 2004. When first launched, the Indica prompted many complaints from early purchasers, who claimed that the vehicle did not deliver horsepower and gas mileage as promised. In response to the customer complaints, Tata Motors reengineered the internals of the car and launched it as Indica V2 (version 2), which solved most of the complaints and emerged as one of the most sought after cars in the Indian automobile industry. Later, it was again updated, now marketed as the "Refreshingly New Indica V2". This was followed by the next variant of Indica, current in early 2008, called the Indica V2 Xeta Petrol, which delivers 70 PS (51 kW; 69 hp) of power at a fuel efficiency of 14 km/l (about 33 mpg U.S., fuel consumption of 7.1 L/100 km) under standard test conditions. In Indian city conditions, fuel economy can drop to about 10 km/l (about 23.5 mpg U.S., 10

Marketing Mix
In the early 1960s, Professor Neil Borden at Harvard Business School identified a number of company performance actions that can influence the consumer decision to purchase goods or services. Borden suggested that all those actions of the company represented a "Marketing Mix". Professor E. Jerome McCarthy, also at the Harvard Business School in the early 1960s, suggested that the Marketing Mix contained 4 elements: product, price, place and promotion. Once you've identified your target market, the next step is to create the market mix, which is a set of four elements: product, price, distribution, and promotion .You have a lot of control over the elements in your marketing mix, but you have very little control over environment in which you're operating.

Promotion Strategy The fourth and final P is promotion. This is the communications strategy of your plan. Here you'll plan not only the message you want to use, but also the tools you'll use to spread it to the world. Your promotion section should actually have six categories:

advertising public relations and publicity direct marketing promotions and events product/company marketing materials premium items sales force Basically, it should cover every communication mode that would appeal to
your target market and help drive them to not only be aware of, but also to act on your offer. This would also include other things like client/customer newsletters, a company Web site, etc. It is in this section of your plan that you should make certain you are following an Integrated Marketing Communications plan. This means that each of these tools must follow the same rules and spread the same message. Having separate PR groups and promotions groups and sales groups makes the job very difficult unless you make sure they are all in agreement about what you are saying and how you are saying it.

promotion- push and pull strategies

"Push or Pull"? Marketing theory distinguishes between two main kinds of promotional strategy - "push" and "pull". Push A push promotional strategy makes use of a company's sales force and trade promotion activities to create consumer demand for a product. The producer promotes the product to wholesalers, the wholesalers promote it to retailers, and the retailers promote it to consumers. A good example of "push" selling is mobile phones, where the major handset manufacturers such as Nokia promote their products via retailers such as Carphone Warehouse. Personal selling and trade promotions are often the most effective promotional tools for companies such as Nokia - for example offering subsidies on the handsets to encourage retailers to sell higher volumes. A "push" strategy tries to sell directly to the consumer, bypassing other distribution channels (e.g. selling insurance or holidays directly). With this type of strategy, consumer promotions and advertising are the most likely promotional tools. Pull A pull selling strategy is one that requires high spending on advertising and consumer promotion to build up consumer demand for a product. If the strategy is successful, consumers will ask their retailers for the product, the retailers will ask the wholesalers, and the wholesalers will ask the producers. A good example of a pull is the heavy advertising and promotion of children's toys mainly on television. Consider the recent BBC promotional campaign for its new pre-school programme the Fimbles. Aimed at two to fouryear-olds, 130 episodes of Fimbles have been made and are featured everyday on digital children's channel CBeebies and BBC2.
TATA MOTORS
2012
As part of the promotional campaign, the BBC has agreed a deal with toy maker Fisher-Price to market products based on the show, which it hopes will emulate the popularity of the Tweenies. Under the terms of the deal, Fisher-Price will develop, manufacture and distribute a range of Fimbles products including soft, plastic and electronic learning toys for the UK and Ireland. In 2001, BBC Worldwide (the commercial division of the BBC) achieved sales of 90m from its children's brands and properties last year. The demand created from broadcasting of the Fimbles and a major advertising campaign is likely to pull demand from children and encourage retailers to stock Fimbl es toys in the stores for Christmas 2002.
Promotion: Promotion involves disseminating information about a product line, brand or company it is one of the four key aspects of marketing mix.

Below the line promotion: All other promotion. Much of this is intended to
be subtle enough that the consumer is unaware that promotion is taking place. E.g. sponsorship, product placement, endorsements, sales promotion,
merchandising, direct mail, personal selling, public relations, trade shows

Tata Motors is Indias largest automobile company. It is the leader in commercial vehicles, and among the top three in passenger vehicles. Designed by an ex-IndyCar engineer, the Mini Cat utilizes compressed air to move its motors pistons, claims zero tailpipe emissions, and an extremely low cost to run. Is it the real deal, or a lot of hot air? Compressed-air has been used to power a wide variety of vehicles since the 1800s with only limited success, due to inherent inefficiencies. The concept found some limited success in powering locomotives, mostly used for mining, where a combustion-free energy source was desirable. Ultimately, even these were replaced by more efficient electric motors. Several modern companies have attempted to produce a working compressed-air powered car, but none have yet to reach the consumer market.

Energine Corporation, of Korea, claimed that it was going to deliver a hybrid compressed-air/electric car, only to see its CEO arrested for making exaggerated claims. KAirmobiles, a French company, were another compressed air concept, but it never saw the light of day. The company was unable to procure the necessary funding, and the engineers who worked on the project, ultimately admitted that the inherent efficiency and low-running-temperature problems made the project unfeasible. In 2010, Honda showed off the Honda Air concept car, a 1,000-pound, 4passenger car, made out of composite materials. (While the concept sounds good, in theory, I would hazard a guess that the high price of the composite materials used in this car would make it unable to compete with other alternatively-fueld vehicles.) The TaTa Air Car concept engine was developed by Motor Development International (MDI), of France, with the backing of Tata. (This version of a compressed air engine has been in development for over 20 years.) Zero Pollution Motors holds a license to produce the cars in the U.S. market.

However, this version of an air-powered car has also been beset with problems. In 2008, Popular Mechanics wrote, Zero Pollution Motors confirmed to PopularMechanics.com on Thursday that it expects to produce the worlds first air-powered car for the United States by late 2009 or early 2010.
Although there are several blogs, and news outlets, which still refer to Zero Pollution Motors as the holder of the U.S. license to produce MDIs Air Cars, I was unable to uncover any evidence that the company is still in existence, at least in any substantial form. In 2009, Tata Motors vice-president (engineering systems) S. Ravishankar told DNA Money the project is facing difficulties in terms of vehicle range and cooling. Ravishankar said, Air is not a fuel, it is just an energy carrier. So a tank full of air does not have the same energy as a tank full of CNG. Any vehicle using only compressed air to run would face problems of range.

The article continues: Ravishankarwent on to say that excessively low engine temperature is another problem, in a vehicle using only compressed gas as fuel. In April of this year, InAutoNews.com explained that the cars, intended for the U.S. market, would not be entirely emissions-free, because a small gasoline engine was required, to allow the car to run at city speeds. (Perhaps this was the reason, for the long delay, in bringing the air car to market? Perhaps the designers were attempting to figure out a way to make the One Cat run on compressed air, only?) In December of 2009, UC Berkeley, ICF International and Stanford experts had this to say about the feasibility of compressed air versus chemical fuels, as an energy storage medium: The study concluded that even under highly optimistic assumptions the compressed air car is less efficient than a battery electric vehicle and produces more greenhouse gas emissions than a conventional gas powered car with a coal intensive power mix. It did state however, that a pneumatic combustion hybrid is feasible and inexpensive and could compete with hybrid electric vehicles. So, it would appear that the jury is not entirely out on the feasibility of a compressed air powered car, but it certainly does not look good for the Tata/MDI version. But lets assume that the Mini Cat Air Car really does live up to the claims of the manufacturer. Just how environmentally-friendly is a compressed air car, anyway?

In 2009, thats exactly what Popular Mechanics endeavored to find out. They compared the Zero Pollution Motors AirPod (an extremely strange-looking precursor to the Mini Cat), to electric, gas, hybrid and diesel. The numbers include the CO2 produced, by the generation of any required electricity. The results were interesting:

Zero Pollution Motors AirPod: 24.014 pounds CO2 for 100 miles Tesla Roadster: 32.98 pounds of CO2 for 100 miles 2010 Toyota Prius: 39.192 pound of CO2 for 100 miles 2009 Honda Civic (non-hybrid): 64.67 pounds of CO2 for 100 miles 2009 VW Jetta TDI Diesel: 62.5 pound of CO2 for 100 miles So, from a strictly empirical analysis, it would appear that air cars (if they
were feasible) would have a bit of an edge where pollution is concerned. Of course, air cars would still not have the speeds necessary to allow them to be driven on highways. Being an eternal optimist, I still hold out hope that Tata isnt just blowing smoke. Im not going to hold my breath, though.

FINDINGS:
The company targets high level of income people because company
produces luxury and semi luxury cars. The products match with the price and quality. The consumers purchase the cars sue to the reputation of the company INDICA and 1 10th are leading products of the company. Its highly sold car
rather than price of the car.
compared to other products of the company. Maintenance free cars, because of high technology the maintenance of cars
less compared to other company. The company gives importance to high level of customer satisfaction by
providing luxury quality of the car. The company is prompt and timely delivery of products to the customers.
SUGGESTIONS:
The cost of NANO cars starts at the rate of 1,00,000 here it is different for
the low class people to buy it so the company should produce the cars by taking in to consideration about the lower cost. The service cost is high compared to the local groups hence the company
should fix a reasonable price. The company should provide extra benefit such as discount to those people
so as to attract them towards the company.

The company should take measures to cut down an expense other than the
cost of production. The company should give more importance towards increasing the mileage
of the car due to increase in the rate of fuel.
CONCLUSION:
Today automobile industry is booming. Especially TATA gets enough number of customer and company earning better profit from last 5 years. In some instance their product is not moving fast, However they modified their product model and trying to have better profit. By glance one can conclude TATA Motors enjoys the good position in the automobile market.
Automobiles have become an indispensable part of our lives, an extension of the human body that provides as faster, cheaper and more convenient mobility every passing day. Behind this betterment go the efforts of those in the industry, in the form of improvement through technological research. What actually lie behind this betterment of the automobiles are the opinions, requirements, likes and dislikes of those who use these vehicles. These wheeled machines affect our lives in ways more than one.
Numerous surveys and research are conducted throughout the world every now and then to reveal one of the other aspects of automobiles, be it about the pollution caused due to vehicle population in cities, or raising motor accidents and causes and vehicular technology, alternative medicine so on.
