Honda Jazz Coming In June!
March 17, 2009
Honda’s B+ segment challenger , the Jazz will be launched in the Indian market in the second half of this year.
“It will have an engine specifically made for the Indian market. We are looking at a June-July launch,” Masahiro Takedagawa, HSCI president and CEO, said on the sidelines of the launch of the upgraded Accord V6 at Greater Noida.
B+ segment is getting very crowded with some established players like the hotselling Suzuki Swift, recently launched Hyundai i20, the European Skoda Fabia and soon to be launched Fiat Grand Punto.

The Jazz will be produced at Honda’s Greater Noida facility and is expected to have a localization content of 70% from day one. Honda wants to price the Jazz very competitively which is why the company is taking its time in increasing the localization level before the launch.
The Jazz shares its platform with the City and will come powered by a 1.2 Litre i-Vtec engine which is expected to deliver decent performance and sterling fuel efficiency.
“We have studied the market and are quite confident about our selling abilities. In Thailand, the Jazz is priced higher than our City model,” said Jnaneswar Sen, vice-president (sales and marketing), HSCI. The City is Honda’s best-selling model in the country.
“Though we don’t expect the Jazz to take over volumes of our City model, the hatchback will still create some volume for us,” said Takedagawa.
The Jazz is expected to be priced in the range of 5.5 Lakhs to 6.5 Lakhs.

Ashok Leyland Feb sales down 57%
March 5, 2009
Chennai, Ashok Leyland has reported a 57 per cent drop in February sales to 3,245 units against 7,501 units it sold in the corresponding period last year. However, the company’s sales increased by one-third over January, when it sold 2,444 units.
The drop was severe in the medium and heavy duty vehicles segment — a core business area for Ashok Leyland. In this segment, it sold 1,438 vehicles in February compared with 5,554 vehicles in the corresponding period last year.
Company sources said the sales picked up due to a section of fleet operators wanting to leverage depreciation benefits. Asked if the reduction in excise duty helped boost sales, the official observed that it was not the price, but sentiment, that was holding back sales.
Future’s Bright: Fiat Coming Up With Multijet2,
February 13, 2009
Fiat India Sales Revive
Its going to be a big year for Fiat’s Powertrain Technologies unit of Fiat SpA. The company is all set to release a host of new powertrain technologies in both diesel and petrol forms and will also launch Fiat’s first dual clutch gearbox.
The first among the new family of powertrain is the ‘Family B SuperFire’ engine which features a displacement of 1.8 Litres. The 4-Cylinder, 16 Valve engine is the third in the modular engine family from Fiat and features the bore (83mm) from the 2.0 Litre Multijet and stroke from the 1.6 Litre Multijet (80.5mm) for a displacement of 1742 cc’s. The engine will feature standard direct injection and continuously variable phasing for both inlet and exhaust cams.
The 1.8 Litre engine will make its first appearance in Alfa Romeo 159 replacing the current 1.9 and 2.2 JTS as well as the Lancia Delta, making 200 bhp between 4750 and 5500 rpm and a healthy 320 nm of torque between 1400 and 3750 rpm. The figures will enable the car to sprint from 0-100 kph in 7.8-8.0 seconds with a top speed of 230 kmph and a fuel consumption figure of 7.5-8.0 litres/100 kms.
The engine will come with an option of either M32 Six Speed Manual or the Aisin supplied 6-Speed Q-Tronic Automatic transmission for the Alfa while the Lancia Delta will come only with the automatic for the time being.
The 1.8 engine in its highest tune will be available for Brera and Spider developing 230 bhp @ a heady 5750 rpm and 350 nm of torque from almost idle 1750 rpm! The figures will enable the Brera and Spider to achieve a top speed of 235-240 kmph and with the ton coming up from rest in 7.2-7.5 seconds adressing the concerns of poor performance.
The new engine output figures compare favourably with Volkswagen Audi’s 2.0 Litre TFSi unit which comes in two states of tune, a 180 bhp 320 Nm and 210 bhp with 350 nm
Jump over for the complete article.
The 230 bhp version will also find its way into the MiTo GTA mated to Fiat’s brand new dual dry clutch transmission dubbed the DDCT which comes under Fiat’s new C635 family of gearboxes. The work on C635 family started in 2006 and will be offered in both automatic and manual variants. The gearbox can handle 350 nm of torque and will be available in various B, C and D segment cars from Fiat starting from june this year for the manual, september for the DDCT and the robotised variant in 2010.
The new 1.8 Litre engine will debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in about a month’s time which will also see the commencement of pre-production runs for two crucial engine developments – the next generation common-rail technology for diesel engine, Multijet 2 and Multiair electro-hydraulic valve actuation.
These new innovation will find their way into all passenger cars under the Fiat Group over the next few years. Fiat has also stated its aim to become the carmaker to have lowest CO2 emissions among the European car makers by 2012.
Multiair is a refinement of the original ‘camless’ Uniair concept, which itself had been under ongoing development by Fiat’s engineers for over a decade. The Italian carmaker is alone in pursuing this technology, which offers the potential for continual valve adjustment and thus optimised efficiency – a key requirement under increasingly stringent future emissions regulations. FPT estimates that engines equipped with Multiair offer up to 20 per cent more torque, at lower revs, compared with a conventional mechanical system. Power output also increases on average by between 10 and 15 per cent, with fuel consumption dropping by around 8 to 10 per cent, an improvement due mostly to the elimination of the conventional butterfly throttle valve, a component which severely interferes with the ability to optimise airflow in conventional engines.
Fitted with Multiair, the current 120 and 150bhp 1.4 T-Jet engines will be uprated to 135 and 165bhp, with corresponding improvements also in fuel consumption and emissions. The first production iteration of Multiair will be seen on these 1.4 T-Jet units, currently found in the Alfa Romeo MiTo, Lancia Delta, and Fiat’s Bravo and Grande Punto. The latter is expected to be the launch vehicle for this technology, due to be rolled out as part of a package of improvements for the top-selling supermini at the Frankfurt IAA in September.
The facelift for the Grande Punto, which comes four years after the car’s debut at the 2005 Frankfurt IAA, is also due to incorporate the initial application of Multijet 2. Fiat Group has long been at the forefront of diesel engine development, and pioneered both direct injection (1986 Fiat Croma TD i.d.) and ‘Unijet’ common-rail technology (1997 Alfa Romeo 156 JTD). Five years later, in 2002, the group debuted Multijet technology with the 140bhp 1.9 JTD 16V, before rolling it out across all of its diesel models, including the revolutionary 1.3 16V Multijet, or SDE (Small Diesel Engine). Multijet represented an advance over Unijet common-rail through its use of sophisticated electronic injector control to make more finely-divided injections than Unijet’s two, allowing better control of combustion noise, reduced emissions, and increased performance.
Multijet 2 now represents the next leap forward in refinement of the fuel delivery process. It consists of a brand-new system of injection pump and solenoid injectors, which will be supplemented in time with a further twin-piston pump development. The main improvement over existing Multijet injectors is in the system’s further improvement in the ability to finely control the fuel flow, to the notable benefit of emissions and low-mid-range torque.
Originally scheduled to reach production in late 2008, a slight delay in starting production means that the first SDE-engined cars with Multijet 2 should start appearing in production cars from September. With tighter Euro 5 emissions regulations being enforced from the beginning of that month, Multijet 2 will make a significant contribution to cutting NOx emissions without consumption and noise penalties, thanks to its ability to manage multiple injections with greater flexibility than the earlier Multijet system.
According to Alfredo Altavilla, CEO of Fiat Powertrain Technologies, Multijet 2 “will provide the same calibre of advantages as the original common-rail systems did 10 years ago”. Speaking to Engine Technology International magazine last year, he added that the results provided by the technology have been better than anticipated. “We have the (3-litre) V6 Multijet 2 diesels in test mules and the results for performance and CO2 are beyond our expectations,” he said. “We’re aiming for a base CO2 rating on the 3-litre Multijet 2 of 150g per kilometre.”

TATA DAEWOO DEVELOPS A PROTOTYPE OF SOUTH KOREA’S FIRST LPG MEDIUM COMMERCIAL VEHICLE
January 25, 2009
South Korea’s second largest truck maker, Tata Daewoo a fully owned subsidary of Tata Motors has developed a prototype of South Korea’s first LPG Medium Commercial Vehicle. The vehicle was developed by Tata Daewoo in association with the Ministries of Commerce, Industry and Energy, Korea Energy Management Corporation and a consortium of 12 organisations.
The 4.5 tonne (payload) Novus LPG truck conforms to EURO V emission norms and uses next generation technology with Liquid Phase Injection (LPLi) 5.9 litre LPG engine with power of 240 PS. The vehicle while promoting the use of a low-pollution fuel that meets Euro V requirements, overcomes the disadvantages of conventional LPG or diesel vehicles like low power output and engine start-up problem, particularly during winter. Other advantages include reduced noise and emission levels along with enhanced engine life compared to existing diesel trucks.
The prototype of the vehicle was displayed at the 21st World LP Gas Forum in Seoul and the Gunsan International Auto Expo (GAEX). The World LPG Forum is aimed at promoting applications of LP Gas with a view to improving quality of life and helping tackle the wider issue of climate change.
The LPG MCV is just one example of Tata Daewoo’s commitment to developing clean-fuel technology. The company has in the past developed low emission diesel, CNG and LNG commercial vehicles through use of environment friendly technology in its design, development and manufacturing process.
Fiat bets big on Linea
January 16, 2009
Mumbai, Fiat India Automobiles (FIAL), the 50:50 joint venture between Fiat Auto and Tata Motors, launched the Linea mid-size sedan here on Wednesday.
The two 1.4-litre petrol versions will cost Rs 6.17 lakh and Rs 6.98 lakh while the diesel options fitted with the 1.3 Multijet engine will be priced at Rs 7.10 lakh and Rs 8.35 lakh. The car will roll out of the Ranjangaon plant near Pune.
The Chief Executive Officer, Mr Rajeev Kapur, said the annual sales target for the Linea was 24,000 units in the local market while 3,000 cars were earmarked for exports. “The car is equipped with Fiat’s renowned engines and we hope to make inroads in the C+ segment,” he said.
Mr Rajiv Dube, President, Tata Motors’ passenger car business unit, and FIAL Board Member, said Linea was an “appealing product” which would do well in the domestic market in the long term. Industry experts say that the sales target for the car is “ambitious” especially with the current slowdown.
The Linea will be part of the Tata-Fiat joint retail initiative which involves 70 dealerships currently and going up to 100 by the middle of this calendar. Workshops will also accompany these retail outlets.
“We are starting off at a difficult time but that does not matter,” said Mr Silverio Bonfiglioli, Chief Operating Officer, Fiat Group Automobiles International.
He said that there would be no change in the Rs 4,000-crore investment plan that Fiat had committed earlier, adding that the company would source components worth € 250 million from India in 2010.
FIAL’s next manufactured product from Ranjangaon is the Grande Punto, scheduled for a launch in the second quarter of 2009. The Bravo will be imported on the lines of the recently introduced Fiat 500. By 2010, the capacity at the plant is expected to be 1.3 lakh units with Fiat accounting for 70,000 cars and Tata Motors taking up the balance.
Reva drive to power sales
January 7, 2009
Bangalore, Electric car
maker Reva is set to launch lithium ion battery-powered cars during the middle of this year.
Reva Electric Car Company?s President for Sales & Marketing, Mr R. Chandramouli, told Business Line that these cars could cost between Rs 7 lakh and Rs 8 lakh, more than double the price of electric cars.
?Any new technology costs more initially. But we expect the prices to come down in another three years,? Mr Chandramouli said.
These cars, which will be powered by about 5,000 lithium ion batteries, will also have solar power panels that will increase the range to about 150-200 km per charge. Reva electric cars can run for about 80 km on a single charge.
Mr Chandramouli said the car maker would also launch a rent-a-car concept to push the sales of electric cars. He said customers can rent an electric car for Rs 2,000 a week starting middle of this month. ?What it will ensure is that more and more people will start using this car because it will be more affordable now,? he said. He was confident that once more customers start renting the cars, it will lead to more people buying these cars.
?Touch and feel? push
?I expect at least 10,000 people by the end of 2009 to have driven these cars as I believe that ?touch and feel? is very important if you want to drive sales,? Mr Chandramouli said.
Reva has also joined the nationwide Indian Climate Solutions Road Tour initiative, which will also showcase the benefits of using electric cars. Reva?s founder and Chief Technology Officer, Mr Chetan Maini, on Tuesday, flagged off the trip with three solar plug-in electric Reva vehicles being part of the tour.
TATA INDICA EV COMING TO EUROPE IN 2009
January 6, 2009
With the acquisition of more than 50% stake in Norwegian company Miljø Greeland/Innovasjon, Tata Motors have given the final push to launching the Indica EV in Europe in the year 2009.
Unlike other electric cars in the market, the Tata Indica EV will be a more practical proposition for the consumer: capable of carrying 4 people, adequate luggage with a predicted range of upto 200 kms. The performance will be adequate as well with the company keeping the 0-60 kph acceleration times in under 10 seconds.
The Tata Indica EV will use super polymer lithium ion batteries which have superior energy density compared to the current best-in-class electric vehicles. The car is curretly undergoing testing and development in Europe for further refinements.
Tata Motors might also launch the Indica EV in India, especially after the Delhi Government announcement of tax and duties cut for selling electric cars in the Capital.
