Most Truck operators select or order a truck similar to a unit already in service, making only whatever changes are necessary to correct a deficiency in operation or to improve performance.

Thus, the operator will usually draw up his requirements based on his experience over the years with any particular truck model only.

- JAMES WILLIAM FITCH

WHY THIS TOPIC ? In Engineering there is always scope for further developments and achieving

results a notch higher than the previous results.

In modern day engines we are able to utilize only 1/3 of the total energy generated from the fuel . This means we can achieve better efficiency and mileage if we are able to further optimize the engine.

The above concept is applicable to every engineering product. There is always a scope for optimization in any product even after its lifespan is over. This idea is the main driving force for us that made us to choose this topic.

Through this project we plan to survey every bit about this vehicle and come out with further possible developments that would enhance the vehicle’s performance and boost its sales to new heights.

Project Overview

What we are going to do ?

• Analyze: Test various parameters of vehicles like engine performance, Chassis, Brake efficiency, etc and compare the results with the given guideline results.

• For this purpose Sundar Transport is providing us with 4 Eicher 11.10 vehicles. We will be monitoring the performance of this vehicle for a period of 1 month

Survey

• It will be of Three types :1. Company Survey2. Workshop /Dealer Survey3. Customer Survey

• Survey forms are being prepared with the help of Hex Mobiles and Shree Motors

• We have collected a list of 50 truck owners with whom the survey would be conducted.

• Aerodynamic Study would be conducted on the prototype model. This would help us to optimize the cabin design of the vehicle and also help to achieve better mileage.

• Safety Parameter Study : We plan to investigate 5 different accidents to analyze the safety level and this would help us to optimize its safety.

ADD-ON FEATURES

• IN-BUILT Weighing Machine• Feasibility of IVHS• Cummins CADEC technology• Manual for Drivers
