THE AUTO EXPO 2020 STANDS OUT AS ONE of the finest and latest examples of automotive engineering. Carmakers at the Expo showcased new technologies and innovations in the mobility ecosystem, unveiling a mix of traditional vehicles, electric vehicles and concepts. The engineering concepts displayed at the Expo far outdid any of the engineering excellence showcased before in India.
Engineering in India is akin to R&D and Quality. This also involves electronics, safety, and software of the vehicle – be it two-wheelers or four-wheelers. In recent times, it has been mainly confined to BS-VI and electric vehicles.
India is the fifth-largest automobile manufacturer in the world, and though the current market situation is dull, OEMs believe the conditions will get better and more favourable for business. Meanwhile, continuing with engineering and bringing out new models is the mainstay of their business and that is expected to continue. It is also the reason that most automotive companies spend a large part of their revenue in R&D and setting up design centres.
