DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARS


For the uninitiated, the world of automobiles and its linguistics can often be puzzling. While the automotive industry's jargon is vast and seemingly unending, we hope to acquaint you with the most vital terms in reference to car types with this post.

 # HATCHBACK
# SEDAN
# MPV
# SUV
# CROSSOVER
# COUPE
# CONVERTIBLE
# STATION WAGON

Here's a basic definations of the above mentioned !

1. HATCHBACK
 A hatchback is a car with a hatch-type rear door that opens upwards and often a shared volume for the passenger and cargo areas.


2. SEDAN a.k.a SALOON
The current definition of a sedan is a car with a closed body (i.e. a fixed metal roof) with the engine, passengers and cargo in separate compartments.This broad definition does not differentiate sedans from various other car body styles, but in practice the typical characteristics of sedans are:
  • a B-pillar (between the front and rear windows) that supports the roof
  • two rows of seats
  • a three-box design with the engine at the front and the cargo area at the rear
  • a less steeply sloping roofline than a coupé, which results in increased headroom for rear passenger and a less sporting appearance.
  • a rear interior volume of at least 33 cu ft (0.93 m3)


3. MPV ( MULTI PURPOSE VEHICLE)


These are a little bigger than a hatchback and almost looks like a hatchback that has been extended to accommodate another row of people. Used as people carriers. They can carry around 5-7 people.

4. SUV ( SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLE)


Sport-utility vehicle, SUV  is an automotive classification, typically a kind of car with off-road vehicle features like raised ground clearance and ruggedness, and available four-wheel drive. 
Many SUVs are built on a light-truck chassis but operated as a family vehicle, and though designed to be used on rougher surfaces, most often used on city streets or highways.

5. CROSSOVER 
A crossover is a vehicle with SUV styling features that is based on a passenger car platform. Crossovers have ride, handling, performance and fuel economy characteristics similar to cars and are only intended for light off-road use.
For many car experts, the difference between the two is simple: A crossover is based on a car's platform, while an SUV uses the chassis of a truck. The result is that crossovers use "unibody" architecture, meaning the body and frame are one piece, while SUVs use a "body on frame" design. In that case, the body is built separately from the frame and placed together later. 

6. COUPE


A coupé is having a closed body, usually with limited rear volume, a fixed roof of which a portion may be openable, at least two seats in at least one row, two side doors and possibly a rear opening, and at least two side windows.

7. CONVERTIBLE
A convertible is a passenger car that can be driven with or without a roof in place. The methods of retracting and storing the roof vary between models. A convertible allows an open-air driving experience, with the ability to provide a roof when required.
Convertible roofs are made of folding material. Other types of demountable roofs include retractable hardtops (often constructed from metal or plastic) and detachable hardtops (where a metal or plastic roof is manually removed and often stored in the trunk).

8.  STATION WAGON




A car with a longer body than usual, incorporating a large carrying area behind the seats and having an extra door at the rear for easy loading; an estate car.

How to choose between the two variants of the car ?

In this post we are going to discuss the points that we all should keep in  mind while going to add a new car to the garage. While planning to buy a new car we might have thought of the features that our car should possess. e.g. the luxury features, the size, the design and color and other more features. But when it comes to the fuel type of the vehicle, most of us fail to pick the correct one and then face maintenance and other issues. So below are some points that you should keep in mind to choose the right fuel option according to your needs.     Pros of diesel Financial : diesel engines are more efficient and use 15−20% less fuel meaning cheaper running costs. Environmental : lower CO2 emissions. Driving experien ce: diesel cars offer more low-speed torque which means they have better overtaking power and towing ability. Cons of diesel Financial : diesel cars usually cost more than petrol. Diesel fuel is more expensive than petrol and servicing or fixing...

Jigs & Fixtures using 3D Printing

Image
Maximizing production efficiency and productivity is a key concern for manufacturers. Jigs and fixtures are manufacturing aids used to increase the reliability, accuracy and quality of the manufacturing process, whilst minimizing production cycle times and improving worker safety. Fundamentally, the purpose of jigs, fixtures and manufacturing aids is to provide an accurate, repeatable and interchangeable manufacturing process, whilst reducing production time and human error. JIG The jig is used for guiding the cutting tool (like a drill bit), and for doing so, jigs have components like a bush, which comes in contact with the cutting tool.  FIXTURE Fixtures assure the position and alignment of the work pieces for getting the required machining operation done. BREAKING THE CUSTOM -  Jigs & Fixtures using 3D Printing The manufacturing of these components till now has been a hectic task involving precise assembling of the heavy sub -components. But now, the industry i...
