INTRODUCTION
Scooters India Limited (SIL) A Govt. of India Enterprise under Ministry of HI & PE
at Lucknow is Automobile Industry manufacturing 3-wheeler with brand name
VIKRAM .
It is a totally integrated automobile plant, engaged in designing, developing, manufacturing
and marketing a broad spectrum of conventional and non-conventional fuel driven 3wheelers.
Companys plant owes its origin to M/s. Innocenti of Italy from which it bought over the
plant and machinery, design, documentation, copyright etc. The company also possesses
the world right of the trade name LAMBRETTA / LAMBRO.
In 1975, company started its commercial production of Scooters under the brand name of
Vijai Super for domestic market and Lambretta for overseas market. It added one more
wheel to its product range and introduced three wheelers under the brand name of
VIKRAM/LAMBRO. However, in 1997, strategically, the company discontinued its twowheeler production and concentrated only on manufacturing and marketing of 3 wheelers.
These three wheelers have become more relevant in the present socio-economic
environment as it transports goods and passengers at least cost.
The company has its own marketing network of Regional Sales Offices all over India,
catering to customers requirements in the areas of sales and services.
Scooters India Limited makes various & versatile types of three wheelers: Vikram
450D,Vikram 1000CGVikram 750D, Vikram 1500CG.
The products have a high payload capacity and efficiency. These are specially designed and
developed for local transportation. However, the generation of Vikram run successfully in
different countries also. Our product is very demanding in various countries all over the
world . Germany, Italy, Sudan, Nigeria, Nepal, Bangladesh are few of the countries. For

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
It is desired to develop the New Diesel, CNG and LPG Engine for our Product to curtail the
market need of cheaper transportation need.
(i) Development of improved technology (ies) for the latest engine technology.
(ii) Improved fuel consumption (fuel cost), lube oil consumption, horse power, (break
specific) power output, mean time between failures (MTBF), maintenance and overhaul
requirements.
(iii) Reduced life cycle costs (prolonged service life).
(iv) Suitability for all fuel qualities.
(v) Development of indigenous parts/sub-assemblies/components.
(vi) Improved reliability of the engine.
