Automotive Industry – on a High; Expected to Grow More

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 6:46 pm

Economists are suggesting the sales of cars in The United States will increase to 14 million units by the year 2011. Subsequently, it is expected that the sales volume will reach same level prior to recession.

The automotive industry has already bounced back after the setbacks suffered due to recession and is on its way back to regain its lost glory. Latest reports suggest that total U.S. sales for GM and Chrysler have increased to 12.1% and 2% respectively. Moreover, delinquency rates for auto loans have also reduced.

Subprime auto loans have also contributed significantly in the revival of the automotive industry. The ease in approval of loans has invited more individuals to purchase cars. Various other incentives have also helped the automotive industry. But experts point out that the demographic trends will be the driving force to boost sales of automobiles in U.S.A.

Once the economy completely recovers, automobile companies can target young consumers who will be entering the market. These consumers are highly demanding and automobile companies can look for opportunities in this segment. Growth in exports as well as capital spending on equipment and high-tech can increase automobile sales.

Big players in the automobile sector were cautious, with decreased production. But things are changing as consumers are opening up and will further spend heavily.

Automotive Business Start Up Tips & Hints

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 1:44 pm

As with many businesses you need a plan in place before you get started. Similarly the same will apply if you wish to start your own automotive sales or repair business. Not everyone knows what the recommended steps are so here we go over but a few to give you an idea of what you need to look for and plan for before parting with your hard earned money and starting your dream business in the automotive industry. These steps are not necessarily in any specific order but it is recommended that before you start anything you begin with the Business Plan.

Business Plan

Any new business must make a business plan so that it is understood what is required to get your business started, what your intentions are for the future and your expectations. The costs you are likely to face and the funds you have to deal with all the required financial concerns. Your business plan should look to the future, perhaps with a 1 year, 5 year and 10 year outline of what your business expects to achieve within that period. If you are required to obtain funds to start your business you will be required to provide a business plan to the Lending institution and this also shows your commitment and thought processes for your intended business and its success.

Bank Account

You need to ensure you open a business account only for your business income and expenses. If you do not use this account for all your business related expenditure and income many times you will find that the income has not gone into the business and yet all the expenses are coming out of the business. This is often the reason why many businesses do not succeed. In the initial steps of your business you can expect to run at a loss and this can continue for an extended period of at least 1 year so ensure you are not taking any income from the business unless there is a huge excess of income and it is sustainable, during this first initial set up period.

Insurance

Ensure that you have all the required insurances to cover the operation of your business and the employees you have relating to the business. You need to consider coverage for insurance for your employees themselves as well as any property insurance such as vehicles left on your premises and also any liability issues that you can obtain insurance coverage for.

Do not skimp out on insurance requirements as nobody can see the future. Ensure you get coverage for natural disasters etc. If you are able to with your current insurance provider, shop around to get the best deal. Just because you have insurance currently for your private items with a particular company, this may not make them the preferred choice for your business insurances and they may not even have these on offer.

You should also look into some form of personal insurance as if you are the sole owner or operator of the business and were suddenly unable to work how would the business continue to produce an income? Not to mention of course life insurance coverage in the event that there was a death then generally all debts and profits have to go to someone and you don’t want to leave your family in debt if something were to happen to you.

License

Make sure that you check with all regulating authorities that you have the correct licenses and all of your staff fulfills all required criteria before you start off with your business. You do not want to outlay all your start up costs only to find you missed a simple step such as a permit that you may be required to have and you are shut down for the offence or required to pay huge fees.

Advertising & Promotion

Make sure that you have an allowance in your estimated costs for sufficient advertising and promotion. Once your business is open you want everyone to be able to find you so make sure that you have allowed a budget sufficient to cover your advertising and branding promotion for a minimum 3 month period if not for the entire year. Don’t rely only on newspaper advertising, try to be creative with your promotion and ensure you do some research before you get started. Things to consider are items such as a uniform for staff and small promotional items to give away at the end of a completed job or sale? Perhaps key rings with your logo and telephone number on etc.

If you follow these suggestions and listen to advice of others as well as your own common sense you will find that you have a great starting platform to get your automotive business off to a great start. Research all you can about every aspect of the business you intend to start before you go ahead and this applies in any industry not only business in the automotive industry

Are Automotive Brakes Getting Smarter?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — admin @ 8:41 am

A number of recent engineering developments in automotive brakes technology is starting to show up in many new vehicles this year. Auto manufacturers have been testing new features over the last few years, searching for the optimum features that will make vehicles safer to drive for motorists.

These improvements are changing the way brakes react when a car is in motion, and the variety of additional safety features are helping drivers stay safer and avoid collisions on the road.

Forward Collision Warnings

One such feature is a forward collision warning, which uses radars and cameras installed in the front of the vehicle to identify objects or other cars that are suddenly within close range of its path. Several audible or physical warnings – lights or chimes on the instrument display panel or a vibration in the steering wheel or driver’s seat, for example – notify the driver of the need for a hard stop.

If the driver does not react in time or doesn’t brake hard enough, some systems will apply an automatic brake assist to help avoid or reduce the impact of a collision. Some automakers have taken further measures to install similar systems for blind spots that a driver can’t see, or when backing out of a space where a view of oncoming traffic from either direction is impaired.

Lane Departure Warnings

A similar safety feature called a lane departure warning is designed to notify drivers who are either distracted or falling asleep at the wheel when the car deviates beyond lane markings on the road. Here, the camera and sensor record a driving pattern while the car is moving and alerts the driver with an audio warning when the car deviates from that pattern for no apparent reason.

The system typically works in tandem with rear view and side mirrors, showing a blinking cursor on the mirror and the front display, to go along with the audible signal to alert the driver.

Anti-Lock Brakes

The first “advanced” automotive brakes employed anti-lock systems that allowed drivers to retain traction and steering control when braking suddenly, either on wet surfaces or due to sudden obstacle. Here, a driver’s reaction time and behavior is still a factor, since they must brake hard, stay on the brake to fully actuate the system, then steer away from the danger.

By applying steady brake pressure, the system will pulse the automotive brakes to allow the tires to regain traction enough to minimize the impact or avoid a collision altogether. A speed sensor monitors the car at all times, looking for a rapid deceleration in the wheels as a signal to apply the anti-lock assistance.

Predictive Brake Assist

Predictive braking is another modern concept that works in tandem with an advanced Cruise Control system to maintain a safe distance between vehicles automatically.  If the system senses a hard stop will be necessary, it prepares brake components in advance to apply enough power to stop the vehicle in the shortest distance possible.

These innovations in automotive brakes will save countless lives by eliminating a margin of error when brakes are not applied quickly enough or hard enough to minimize the impact of a life-threatening collision, or eliminate one altogether.

Testing of Automotive Non-metal Materials

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — admin @ 5:50 pm

Abstract: The paper introduces some testing items of non-metal materials in automotive, which include inner decorating materials fogging on the windscreen, gas permeability capability of fuel tank, gas permeability capability of seat materials, gas barrier capability of inner tube and safe airbag, and so on. Besides these, there are testing aims of these testing items, testing methods and testing standards etc.
keywords: automotive, non-metal materials, testing

 

1. Overview

As the performance and processing technology of non-metal materials are advancing by leads and bounds, non-metal materials are being applied to automotive with an unprecedented speed. The average consumption of non-metal materials per car has increased from  68.4 kg in 1981 to the present 150?180kilos . With the expanding application of non-metal materials in automobiles, requirements on corresponding properties of these materials are put forward. For example, the emitting of hazardous and noxious substances from auto’s interiors/trims materials is harmful to health. The condensation of volatile materials on winder screen   affects safety of driving. Gas permeability capability of fuel tank, gas permeability capability of seat materials, gas barrier capability of inner tube and safe airbag have much to do with the comfort of driver. Because of these problems, corresponding test methods, test standards, and test instruments are introduced in succession. The latter part is a brief introduction to relating test items.

2. Testing the Impact of Emitting Materials of Auto’s Interiors/trims Materials on Windscreen

Auto’s interiors/trims materials, such as engineering plastics, textiles, leathers and non-woven fabrics, as well as various adhesives used to mount the former mentioned materials, containing volatile substances that emit under heat and condense on window or windscreen, causing poor visibility and affecting safety of driving. At present, relevant tests have appeared in foreign countries based on standards of  DIN 75201?ISO 6452?SAE J1756 and etc. To improve product quality or to expand their oversea markets, some domestic auto manufactures and auto’s interiors/trims manufacturers also attach great importance to these tests.

Interiors/trims of automotive are tested in two methods: reflectometric method and gravimetric method. Reflectometric method measures the opaqueness variation of fogging layer on a glass plate surface to evaluate the fogging property of specimen. The gravimetric method measures the quantity of condensate that formed on aluminum foil surface to obtain the weight of fogging substances. In addition, the ‘fogging value’ or ‘weight of fogging-condensation’ obtained can also indicate the volatilization quantity of hazardous and noxious substances in specimen. With the fogging value of xenon vapor headlamp, users can evaluate the extent to which the fogging inside headlamp of automobile affects illumination.

At present, fogging test instruments on sale in domestic market are Germany Hake, Chinese Labthink and etc.

3. Permeability Test of Auto Plastic Fuel Case

Comparing with steel board fuel tank, Auto Plastic Fuel Case is featured by its safer property, corrosive resistance and longer lifespan. In addition to these advantages, plastic fuel tank is flexible in molding and lower in cost. At present, the utility rate of plastic fuel tank in domestic autos has been up to 86?.

Despite its many advantages comparing to steel board fuel tank, the most obvious weak point of plastic fuel tank is its poor barrier property, which results in the penetrating permeation of oil. To select ideal materials of plastic fuel tank, barrier property testing of the materials becomes necessary. The traditional test procedures are: fill certain petrol oil into a tank and then seal the tank. Weigh the tank and note its weight as M1. Place it for sufficient time (generally exceeding 100 days) and reweigh it, note the weight as M2. calculate ?M=M1-M2, the result of which is the volatilization of petrol oil. Such method needs a long period and requires high-precision weighing device, thus encounters great difficulty to complete test.

ASTM D3985 offers another test method. Cut a plastic slice from a tank and test its oxygen transmission rate. Comparing this result with that of various plastic sheets so as to scientifically and quickly decide the plastic that possesses better property.

In ASTM F1307, test method for integral package testing is provided, with which the sealability testing of the whole package is realized.

4. Gas and Water Vapor Permeability Testing of Seat Materials

During the Long and arduous journey, drivers often sit in the car for several or even several dozens of hours. For this reason, the requirements on gas and water vapor permeability of seat materials are stricter than that of auto’s other parts. Good cushion and seat pad should flexible with better gas and water vapor permeability so that drivers’ sweat can goes out smoothly. 

GB/T10655-2003: Test procedures of gas permeability are as below: place the specimen of specified dimension inside test chamber and evacuate one side of specimen so that there is certain differential pressure formed on two sides of specimen. Then test the transmission quantity of test gas through specified area within certain time to obtain the transmission rate; or maintain the transmission rate through specimen and test the pressure difference on two sides of specimen to obtain resistance of airflow. This test method is in accordance to GB/T10655-2003.

ASTM E398: Test procedures for water vapor permeability testing are as below: place the specimen between dry and humid chambers at constant temperature. Then the sensor inside test chamber records the humidity variation inside and traces the time needed for the preset low limit value to reach upper limit value. With continuous testing and systematic analysis, water vapor permeation and water vapor permeability rate can be obtained. This method is in accordance with ASTM E398.

5. Gas Barrier Property Testing of Inner Tube and Safe Airbag

Materials of both Car inner tube and safe airbag are required to have good barrier property. The former guarantees that tube inflation will not be need during long journey while  the latter guarantees that  in the event of accidental collision moments,   quick muster of safe airbag can ensure a certain degree of pressure.

In traditional test methods, the finished tube or air bag is inflated to a certain pressure and the value of pressure meter is recorded. After a period of time, observe the pressure drop of manometer to obtain the value of barrier property. For this method, a long period (sometimes a year) is needed to obtain test result, thus is difficult to complete such testing. However, it now can be completed with Labthink VAC-V2 gas permeability tester. First, take samples from materials to be tested and then attach the specimen to VAC-VA. Maintain a certain pressure difference on two sides of specimen. Test gas transmits through specimen and the pressure changes with time so that users can calculate barrier property of materials. With this instrument, the test generally can finish in 12 hours, thus greatly improving test efficiency. 

6. Test Other Non-metal Materials of Automobile

Non-metal materials used in automobiles are various in kinds. In addition, there is different requirements on the same material that is used in different parts of autos, that is to say, various test items are needed, such as the testing of tensile strength, tear strength, hardness, bending strength, color, the coefficient of friction and etc.

Moreover, during the operation of automobile, a great amount of various adhesives are needed, the property of which imposes vital influence on car quality. Therefore, these non-metal materials also require the testing of shearing, tensile and tearing strength.

7. Conclusion

Non-metal material is light in weight, which can lighten the weight of autos so as to achieve energy saving purpose. The better processing technology of such materials enables auto manufacturers to design components and models of autos with more flexibility. As more and more non-metal materials are being applied to automobiles, property testing of materials will provide more effective supports to the safe and optimized application of materials.

Himfr.com reports Automotive electronic components to change the pattern of demand has changed

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , — admin @ 9:41 pm

The sluggish economy meant that the automotive industry suffered particularly severe impact
As a large consumption of cars, one of the people, when people are belt-tightening, many people delayed buying a car. Even for those who want to buy cars of consumers, access to credit difficult. New car sales dropped sharply, thus triggering a chain reaction automotive electronics market, automotive electronics supplier hit. Nevertheless, the British market research firm IMS Research believe that some parts of the market demand for the system will be more serious impact.

Optional parts of the sharp decline in demand for
The market showed that new car buyers who choose to fewer sets of car parts. Electric seats, navigation systems and head-up display and other components, in the new car is only sold as an optional accessory department.

The same time, consumers tend to prefer a vehicle with a small engine because the engine is much cheaper price. On the other hand, the Department of Electric Power Steering
Commission that the adjustment of small engine cars, so demand will be relatively high

Green Car is another constant trend. IMS Research Director, Joh Cropley Automotive Research, said: “To keep a decree to compel manufacturers to focus on the production of low fuel consumption, small displacement cars. In the short term, more cars will be used, such as start – stop (Stop-Start) System , direct injection engine and turbocharger, thereby reducing the engine power. the long-term perspective, plug-in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles will be popular. “IMS Research forecast in 2016 of hybrid vehicles and electric vehicle production will exceed one million.
