Everything is undergoing a transformation with changing generation and so is the car industry. One of the biggest generational changes in car industry is the new K-series petrol engine. India’s largest car manufacturer, the Maruti Suzuki, is working to introduce this next generation engine technology in all the car models. The production of this series of engine has already been started at Manesar in Haryana. The current production is restricted for the upcoming global car Maruti A Star. The K-series engine is to be manufactured in compliance to the Euro 4- and Euro 5-emission norms. It is also believed to be one of the highly efficient engines. Currently, Maruti has four types of engines, F-series, two variants of G-series and M-series. But unfortunately all these are not in accordance to the Bharat 4 emission norms which are soon to be implemented in India. With respect to this, Maruti plans to fit the new K-series engine in all its existing car models and make them compliant to the norms. Labels: Car-engine, Maruti-Suzuki, New-Technology

Mercedes-Benz drives its most striking car, the C63 AMG to India. A tough competitor for M3 coupe! Priced at around Rs 78 lakh, the car is brought to the country through the import route. It is a highly modified version of Mercedes C class. The C63 is outfitted with a powerful V8 engine with a capacity of 6.3 litre generating a maximum torque of 600 Nm. The car has the ability to propel 0-100 in just a span of 4.5 seconds. That sounds amazing! The company is excited and glad with this launch in India and plans to bring more AMG variants to India. Like other car manufacturers Mercedes also wants to increase its share in the country. So many car manufacturers are competing with each other and it has really become difficult to say who will hold the maximum market share at the end?

The Fiat plans to develop a two-cylinder diesel engine for the global car market including India. This two-cylinder engine is mainly designed for small cars and is known as ‘Fiat’s twin wonder’. The diesel engine is expected to be manufactured at Fiat’s Ranjangaon facility in India. The company also plans to sell the same cylinder to other companies across the global car industry. Fiat has an alliance with the Tata Motors and it was expected to be a confirm consumer for this engine. But Tata Motors is producing its own twin-cylinder for its ultra-cheap car, the Nano. Maruti does not have any such kind of small diesel to fit in its small cars. But do you think will Maruti approach Fiat for its requirement? Maruti is considered to be Fiat's best stake. Through the production of this twin-cylinder diesel engine, the company is planning to strengthen its presence in India. Labels: Car-engine, Car-Manufacturers, Diesel, Fiat, Nano
