Hello!! Friends I want to share this article regarding the strategies which are followed by manufacturers for Ultra Low Cost Cars, what are the strategies which doesn't work for the ULCC. Some manufacturers, for example, introduce older models into the market to take advantage of their fully paid-up base of equipment and tools. The Buick Regal was among the first entrants in China. While this approach provides rapid entry into a new market, it does so at a cost: The cars often do not meet specific customer needs and are at a competitive disadvantage in relation to locally tailored products. Other car manufacturers streamline existing models to fit low-cost prerequisites or redesign select p...

Hello!! Friends, It’s the hottest of hot topics – but it’s open to the widest of interpretations. What, exactly, is a low-cost car? The Dacia Logan, Fiat Palio, Tata Nano, Maruti 800, Lada Zhiguli? Or even a five-year-old VW Golf? The answer is all of them. Low-cost cars are the agents of growth in the global car market. German Tier 1 supplier Bosch estimates low-cost vehicles priced below EUR 7, 000 could reach a 13% share of the world market – or about 10million vehicles – by 2010, and consultants Roland Berger estimate annual global production of 18million sub-EUR10,000 cars by 2012. The reasons are clear, as the developed world stagnates in terms of car sales, emerging markets are drivi...

Sorry, I travel 60 kms a day and I have health problems when in dusty or rainy situations.   Cycle cant replace my car. But if cycling was possible save a lot of money and walk that distance its a good exercise.

It is possible and common man will enjoy it in rural and urban areas.   Commercialisation at a cheaper rate is not being done

My  salutes to Mr Narayana Murthy and Mr Mashelkar! Today in Economic Times the brain storming article having same heading made me really excited and highly hopeful towards future of application of researches in science and technology in commercial field.As in my whole career I felt that its lagging too much in our country (except southern parts of India).Whatever researches are going on in big government institutes remain in journals and proceedings of seminars.Very few come up in application.While crores of rupees are spent every year by many funding sectors viz; UGC,CSIR,DBT and many more. Today after reading views of Mr Narayan Murthy and Mr Mashelkar I felt really supportive from their side as I have requested in many seminars and meetings about this innovation. Mr Narayan Murthy: What we really require is science,technology and innovation policy.Innovation is mind to market,concept to commercialisation.In the rest of the world you see that is happening. Mr Mashelkar: Human...
