Lal, MD &amp;amp; CEO, Eicher Motors Ltd.explains what the real reason behind bringing out an adventure motorcycle, the Royal Enfield Himalayan. He traces the DNA of Royal Enfield motorcycles and elaborates on the strengths of each of his motorcycles.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;He says, &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The
Himalayas is our inspiration and that is what draws people out with its
beautiful landscape. It is also the most difficult landscape in the country.
But really this motorcycle is great for any adventure because anywhere you go
in India, by and large you find some decent roads, some bad roads and some off-road
conditions. In fact in the cities you will find a bit of that environment. The
motorcycle has been made in a way which makes it easy to ride on everyday basis
as well.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;

It&apos;s extremely
critical that the government is actually recognising that the backbone of the
economy’s growth will come with manufacturing growth.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&quot;I think the economy
obviously is a bit skewed towards the services and the manufacturing industry
needs to get its act together. I think Make in India is a tool, it&apos;s a policy enabler
to this. At least from the 25 sectors in the Make in India that the government
has identified, Automotive and Automotive component is one of the focal
sectors. I think it&apos;s extremely critical for us that we actually do our bit.
Obviously the AMP 2026 which is the Phase II of the AMP plan that has also come
out with the background of Make in India and it gives immense scope of
opportunity in both, in terms of contribution to the Automotive industry can do
towards the economic GDP of the country, also in terms of the scale of what we
can achieve domestically and in exports. I think it’s extremely motivating for
entrepreneurship, for everyone, not just invest in India, but use India as an
opportunity to have a global scale.,&quot; he noted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

On the face of it, this may look like a positive sign for the company in terms of sales of its vehicles. But what is alarming is that the sales of all its remaining vehicles have been dwindling in the highly competitive Indian passenger cars market.]]></description>

motivating thing about &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Make in India&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, is the fact that the
top salesman for it is the Prime Minister of India. Having put such a personal
stake in Make in India, he will have to ensure the actions that follow this
statement. So Make in India was always relevant to us as a manufacturing company,
Continental believes strongly in this market and believes that in order to get
a foothold in the market, localisation of the value chain is as much as
essential so Make in India was always something we were prepared to do. Having
the Prime Minister himself stand behind this programme definitely lends its
weight.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;In an interview with Motown India, Sanjeev Taparia, Sr Vice President-Marketing, National
Engineering Industries said that the m&lt;/span&gt;oment his company heard about the&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Make in India&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;concept everybody was kind of excited.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&quot;We are from
the automotive component industry, so over the last several years the industry
has been transforming itself and the effort is to become a global player.
However, the kind of policy framework and infrastructure we have in our
country, it’s not so easy for a local company to go global. The
kind of visits Mr Modi made over the course of last year to different parts of
the world and giving this slogan of Make in India that has put India in focus
in the global community. A lot of branding has happened for Make in India. And
the global community has made a note of that,&quot; he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&quot;Make in India has opened up a new debate I would
say in the country where different bodies like CII or SIAM or ACMA, they are
raising some topics which will help us to grow in the global market. Those
policies are being relooked by the government. Of course nothing much has
happened on the ground but the framework is ready. A lot of issues that have
come up like port facilities, logistic cost, GST, all these things have become
a topic of discussion and over the coming years or the coming months perhaps,
there will be a policy implication. So Make in India is a very exciting slogan
to have and it has really put us on a global map. But it has to be backed up by
good policy measures. The intention is there but they have to be put o the
ground,&quot; he added..&lt;/p&gt;

If you are the driver, you’re likely to hit the brakes and turn the wheel, that is, if you have a great presence of mind. And if you’re a passenger, aware of what’s about to happen, your instinct is to brace yourself for impact.

These changes in posture – relaxed or braced – aren’t something physical crash test dummies can copy, but Toyota has produced new software for its THUMS virtual human modelling]]></description>

Normal vibration resulting from road imperfections is magnified under the vehicle load, thus causing the bearings to wear out prematurely. As a consequence, these parts require frequent replacement. To help workshops offer time-effective repairs, Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG as of now offers full-service stabiliser repair kits for the Mercedes-Benz Actros.]]></description>
