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 experience: 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 a serious problem on a diesel car might be slightly more expensive. New diesel cars also cost more to tax than petrol cars, and depreciation is now slightly higher.
    • Environmental: despite lower CO2 emissions, diesel fuel produces tiny particles linked to breathing disorders such as asthma.
    • Driving experience: diesel engines tend to be slightly noisier, but this problem is improving.


Pros of petrol

    • Financial: petrol is cheaper than diesel fuel and the cars tend to be slightly cheaper to buy and service.
    • Environmental: While CO2 emissions are higher than diesel, petrol cars produce less of some other dangerous emissions like nitrogen.
    • Driving experience: petrol engines tend to be less noisy.

Cons of petrol

    • Financial: engines are less efficient and use more fuel than diesel.
    • Environmental: petrol engines emit more CO2 than diesel cars.
    • Driving experience: Petrol engines need the driver to change gear more regularly, for example when overtaking, to make the most of the engine’s power – but some people will actually prefer this style of driving.



·        That means that if most of your journeys are local and your mileage is lower, a small petrol car might be more suitable for you, especially if you’re looking to change vehicles in the next five years.
·         
·        Also, keep in mind that newer diesels have a special filter fitted to help prevent pollution. It’s called a diesel particulate filter (DPF). These can clog if the vehicle isn’t used regularly on a motorway, and is costly to fix or replace. This means if you don’t use motorways often, a diesel might not be for you.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARS

Image
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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatchback 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 ...

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...
