India and its old warehouse is gradually becoming a hot time favourite for everyone.
Any guesses, what does the old warehouse means? Yes, we are talking about the old Ambassador.
Two Hong Kong policemen, Tim Worrall and John Morgan, will soon drive to India to embrace a karmic experience behind the wheel. These two policemen are planning to ride a 37-horsepower Amby through some of the most challenging terrain in country, the toughest city roads, and the reserve forests of the country.
They are just trying to be adventurous by embarking on this exciting journey to join 50 teams from around the world. All these teams are organizing a car rally that will raise money in charity. The revenue collected by this rally will be used for projects in south India and Britain. The Karma Enduro Rally is for a good cause and the best part is that the old Indian warehouse will be a part of this noble cause.
So, what does this indicates? Amby has still not lost its foothold in the country. It still rocks on Indian roads and for a good cause.
Tata Nano has faced massive number of hurdles in its way to the country. Continuing the battle with various ups and downs, Tata Nano also applies for the homologation test conducted at Pune’s ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India).
Homologation test is a test that verifies the roadworthiness of any particular new car. Roadworthiness test is a must for every new car to test all parameters like including emission, noise and vibration of cars running on Indian roads.
Astonishingly, the car confirms the Euro IV emission norms that have yet not come to India but is expected to become an Indian standard by 2009. During the test, this small wonder delivered 20 kmpl with its 623cc twin cylinder petrol engine. It was subjected to almost 100 tests over a period of 4 months. The car proved to be perfect to ply Indian roads. ARAI finally handed over the clearance certificate to Tata Nano for passing with flying colours.
Mahindra & Mahindra adds an automatic transmission system to its successful SUV, Mahindra Scorpio.
Some car owners who own automatic cars have a belief that a manual gearbox is better and powerful than automatic. But then too, Mahindra loaded an automatic gearbox in Scorpio. Surprisingly, the automatic Scorpio has a better driving dynamic.
The automatic gearbox has two modes to ensure quick and smooth operation even on congested Indian roads. With the automatic gear shift, the SUV gives a fuel economy of about 9 kmpl in city and about 13.2 kmpl on highways.
A great combination of automatic transmission and peppy diesel engine adds joy of driving a new car. The car is available at a price of about Rs 11.3 lakh and is a good bet.
There is nothing new to say that Maruti Suzuki is one of the leading
car manufacturersin India that produces a line of high-end car models. The best part about Maruti is the thought that pulls the company to produce a range of models catering to different sections of the Indian society.
Apart from creating top-end models, Maruti now makes a move towards making Indian roads safer than ever. The company in association with the Delhi Government opens driving schools to train car drivers. The move is not only restricted to drivers safety but also ensures safety for the passers by and other people sharing a common road.
Maruti comes up with around 42 new Institute of Driving Training and Research (ITDRs) in Delhi and NCR. The company also plans to extend the association and sign a memorandum with other state governments to open more and more number of ITDRs across the country.
Maruti driving schools are not for profit margins and gains but truly for safety. The company desires to produce an accident free road for its consumers and prepare skilled drivers so that Maruti carsdo not create any havoc on Indian roads.
