Decoding Automated Manual Transmission

AMT Gearbox

             Hello friends welcome to my blog http://techsonwheel.blogspot.in/. Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) (also known as clutchless manual transmission or semi-automatic manual transmission) in an automobile transmission that does changes gear automatically rather facilitates manual gear changes by dispensing the need to press a clutch pedal at the same time as changing gears. It uses electronic sensors, actuators, pneumatics and processors to change gears on the command of driver or by a computer. AMT is not a new system it had early employed in European automobiles before applying it in Indian market.

            

            Maruti Suzuki Celerio is the first car in India to be equipped with AMT technology. This technology is perfect for Indian buyer as it provides a hassle free city commutes without burning a hole in our pocket.  This car was employed in Europe but was successful as the drive was not jerk free or seamless like automatic gearboxes. Moreover the gear shifts per kilometre are fewer than countries like India and they are not obsessed with “Kitna deti hai”. So either they made out with manual gearbox or paid extra a bit for automatic gearbox.

AMT is perfect for technology for India. It gives the driver of peace of mind for clutch less shifts while moving around in metropolitan cities which they die for, it’s also fuel efficient like manual gearbox and it’s a cheap technology that doesn’t increases the price of car too much. Maruti was able to launch Celerio at a price of ₹ 4.3 Lakhs ex-showroom.

The Celerio was first launched in Delhi Auto Expo 2014 by Maruti. The show stopper then was not the car it was the technology that was used in the car to drive it. Maruti Suzuki went on with Magneti Marelli 4^th generation AMT technology because the brains behind the Celerio tells that Magneti Marelli system is an excellent balance between efficiency and cost, that is specially made for Indian market.

In a conventional manual gearbox a set of cables or link usually operates the gearbox in two step processes i.e. selection and engagement of gears. So in Automatic Manual gearbox or AMT essentially replaces the mechanical linkages by electromechanical individual devices that work off the engine management and transmission management control units. The electronically controlled clutch actuator uses an electric motor to operate the clutch instead of a conventional pedal and cable operated setup. The pioneers of the AMT gearbox claims that this setup not only stimulates clutch-less driving but also increases the longevity of clutch components  and increases fuel economy.

In an AMT, the electromechanical or hydraulically operated actuators take over the clutch and the shift action. This is predominantly due to the fact that the driver can still choose to manually engage a particular gear either by shifter lever or by paddle shifters mounted on steering wheel. AMTs also help to reduce the torque intervention during changing gears manually. An array of sensors is present to monitor the driving conditions and gives it to Transmission Control Module or TCU which processes the information and reacts accordingly to the driver based input.

The other Indian brands Tata (with Zest) and Mahindra (with Quanto) have expressed their willingness to adopt AMT as their transmission. But according to reports it says that unlike Celerio’s Magneti Marelli AMT, Tata & Mahindra uses AMT developed by ZF. The AMT system is developed to enhance the driving pleasure without the use of the stick and provide hassle free journey in the busy roads of India without hampering the fuel economy. AMT has a great future in India unlike Europe due its benefits.

Stingray Reincarnated

Hello friends welcome to my blog http://techsonwheel.blogspot.in/. This year we are noticing the 20^th tournament of FIFA World Cup in Brazil. It is the most anticipated game of the year. Brazil has noticed their automotive revolution after Chevrolet rolled off their assembly line in 1925. With all these years leaving in past the company has moved forward along with the motto of Brazil “Ordem e Progresso” i.e., “Order and Progress”.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

                The Chevrolet Corvette C7 or Z06 is a sports car produced by Chevrolet division of General Motors. The new 2015 Corvette Stingray is the beauty of design and engineering with new advanced technologies, supercharged engines and race proven bloodline it’s a super car in the new territory. The Corvette Z06 is one of the industries only supercars to achieve over 600+ hp under its hood with its big 6.2L supercharged V8.

               

                   The Z06 elevates us to new level of experience of driving the new lightweight but rigid space aluminium frame, carbon fibre body works with removable roof top, chassis architecture, engine technologies and aerodynamic strategies. The Z06 itself envelopes within, the performance of street and track car. The Z06 has cosmetic upgrade of its sibling Stingray. The Chevrolet replaced the standard set of tires with new sets of larger Michelin summer only tires. The car has wider fender to accommodate larger tyres for more grip on any track. Its unique honey comb grill at front serves a better flow of air for cooling purposes. It also has larger spoiler to keep the car stick to tracks.  The new Z06 features Carbon Fibre hood and removable carbon fibre roof panel which helps to keep the centre of gravity low and maintaining optimal weight distribution for precise handling.

                The interior of the car driver focused cockpit and can be easily differentiated between from Stingray. The esteemed customers can choose from two different seat versions- a GT for all round comfort and support and Competition seat with aggressive side bolstering, which provides greater support on track. The model also offers premium soft touch Napa leather material, aluminium, and carbon fibre and suede microfiber.

                The Corvette Z06 is powered by 6.2L Supercharged V8 delivering at least 625hp and 635lb/ft of torque at your ease. The small block’s 625lb/ft of torque peaks at 3600rpm. The engine continues to make 90% of peak torque or 592lb/ft of torque from 2500-5400rpm. The supercharger of Z06 is smaller but sin faster allowing for instantaneous power whenever required. In addition the engine has lightweight titanium intake valves and connecting rods for reduced reciprocating mass. To increase the fuel efficiency of the engine, the corvette stingray introduced Direct Injection, Active Fuel Management and Continuously Variable Valve Timing. The Z06 offers two choices of transmission- a 7 speed manual gearbox or all new track certified 8-speed automatic dual clutch gearbox for delivery of high performance without sacrificing refinement. In the central console of the car it has the wheel for drive mode selector between driving modes: Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport and Track. Each mode electronically calibrates the performance variables to customize and optimize the Corvette Z06 supercar for any road.

                The Corvette Z06 convertible is built on same rather chassis as of the coupe versions. The convertible Z06 delivers the same optimal performance like the coupe. The Z06 takes 0-60mph in 3.4secs and acquiring a top speed of 205mph.

                At the price point the Z06 has got two rivals standing on their way i.e. 2015 SRT Viper ACR and Ferrari 458 Speciale. I would let you decide which one to choose from.

                The 2015 Corvette Z06 put all supercar manufactures on the notice with its 625 horsepower engine under its hood.

                 So as the FIFA fever is going fast its also moves fast within a fraction of secs.Got any queries to ask write it in comment box below.

Wheels of Future Past

Hello friends welcome to my blog http://techsonwheel.blogspot.in/. In this new era we have seen many innovative cars evolved around us and along with the regular taste. The big V8, mighty V12, fuel efficient cars, hybrid cars and electric cars or EV’s. As the days are passing by we are leaving our carbon footprint in nature by our vehicles, industries etc. So as to reduce this carbon footprint by vehicles we have shifted partly towards hybrid and electric vehicles.

Tesla Model S

                Today I’m going to tell about a car which runs on batteries but competes with the big V8 in terms of performance, ride quality and cost of running. Tesla Motors Inc. founded by Elon Musk, Martin Eberhard, Marc Tempenning, JB Straubel, Ian Wright in the year 2003 sells electric cars and electric vehicle powertrain components.

                The Palo Alto Company gain widespread attention by producing their Tesla Roadstar, the first fully electric sports car. The company’s second vehicle is the Tesla Model S the electric luxury sedan. The Tesla Model S dispels conventional thinking about EV’s with spacious & luxurious interiors, driving dynamics, ride comfort along with 200 miles of range. The Tesla Model S is a full sized five door electric sedan. It was released on the 2^nd quarter of 2013 in Europe. There are presently two models available one is equipped with 85kWh Li-on Battery which can travel 426km (265 miles) and the other is packed with 60 kWh Battery with a range of 335km (208 miles). The Tesla is expected to release a base model with 40 kWh Battery with range of 260 km (160 miles).

                The Model S Signature model with an 85 kWh pack rated by EPA has a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h) and accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in5.4 seconds. The Model S Signature Performance model has a top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h) and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, while the base 60 kWh battery model has a top speed of 120 mph (190 km/h) and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.The Model S is offered with two battery packs a base model with 60 kWh Battery with range 335 km and 85 kWh Battery with range 426 km. The 85 kWh Battery packs 7,104 Lithium Ion battery cells in 16 modules wired in series and the 65 kWh Battery packs around 5432 Lithium Ion battery cells. Tesla motors guarantee the Model S BATTERY FOR 201,000 km or Eight years. The 80 kWh battery pack gets guarantee of Eight years and unlimited miles. The Model S takes pride in having flat floor as it packs the battery modules in floor of the vehicle with lower centre of gravity.
                The Tesla Model S can get fully in 30 hrs. From a household 120 V/15 A outlet the car recharged by 8 km in every hour. Through 10 kWh 240 V/30 A outlet the Model S gets charged up 50km in every hour. Using Tesla 20 kWh, 240 V High Power Wall Connector and the range can be restored by 100 km for every hour if the car is configured with twin charger (20 kWh). The Tesla Supercharger can add up to 320 km in 30 min. Supercharging is available in the 85 kWh variant. But as an extra option of $2500 the 60 kWh that can be enable supercharging any time only it just requires minor software change.
               The Tesla Model S has 17in LCD display in the centre console of the car which displays all the information and controls of the car from air-conditioning, audio and functions such as regeneration braking, air suspension height even the charge-port hatch, sunroof and demisters. Only glitch is that everyone must have a reliable 3G to power the Satnav. The 60 kWh variant crosses 0-97km/h in 5.9 sec with a top speed of 193km/h. The 85 kWh variant crosses 0-97km/h in 5.4 sec with a top speed 200km/h and lastly the Model S Signature Edition (85 kWh) marks 0-97km/h in 4.2 sec with a top speed of 210km/h.
              Prices start at $49,900 for 60 kWh and $69,080 for 85 kWh variant. It has got many awards from different companies ‘The most stylish car’, ’Car of the year in Norway’, ‘Car of the Future’, ‘Motor Trend’s Car of the year’ etc. It’s a brilliant car in many ways but lack many features and naïve, arrogant in some ways and I think it fix them as time passes. Unfortunately it isn't available in India.

OnePlus ONE- Never Settle

Hello friends welcome to my blog http://techsonwheel.blogspot.in/. In this quarter of year we have seen fantastic flagship Android smartphones being released. Whenever we hear about flagship device of a company us thing about high end specs, also meant high price point. One Chinese company that is looking to completely shake up the status quo the OnePlus, bringing their 2014 Flagship Killer here.

        The OnePlus One stands out with their “NEVER SETTLE” tag, but the biggest question remains will it be able to stand true to it or not? The One boosts a 5.5inch 1080p full HD JDI screen with LTPS technology for a higher pixel density and sharper pixel density and sharper picture. It has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protects the screen against scratches, and with 178 degree vision.

            The performance is blazing fast in the device as it features the most powerful processing package currently available. Under the hood it has a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, clocked at 2.5 Ghz and backed by Adreno 330 GPU. It also has a 3 GB of RAM which is a bit of rarity in other certain flagship devices. The device runs on Cyanogenmod 11S which is the latest OS by Cyanogen. The software behind CM 11S knows how to the take full advantages of its processing capabilities. The CM 11S has a lot of customisation underneath and thus making it feel like stock android. It can be customised with widgets or shortcuts and icon through the settings or with their own theme engine. There are many more other features like double tap wake up, on screen gestures or draw gestures for a various tasks.

            On the hardware side the One has 16 GB and 64 GB variants at different price points, but it does not offers expandable storage like other flagship devices which shouldn’t be surprising considering the low price point. The device features Touch and Go, 3 MIC for noise cancellation, Bluetooth 4.0, Miracast, USB OTG, gyroscope, onscreen or capacitive buttons and all the other basic features. And atlast it packs a 3100 mAh non-removable battery.

            The One has a 13 MP Sony Exmor IMX214 sensor with f/2.0 aperture along with 6 physical lenses in it making it an amazing shooter for low light conditions and also producing sharper image in bright daylight. The cyanogens has its own camera application which also help you change the settings for ISO, exposure compensation as well as change the codec for video capture. The colour looks saturated and is not washed out and is beautifully balanced in all proportions. It has a front facing 80º wide angle camera of 5 MP, making it a great shooter for selfies. 4K video capture is available in it but surely you would run out of space in 16 GB model. Slow motion video is also available at 720p for 60 or 120fps capture that yield half or quarter speed videos. Finally while capturing photos you have do all the fun with all the live filters that are available.

            Finally we get on to the price the 16 GB Silk White comes with a price tag of $299 while the 64 GB Sandstone Black for $349 only. At this price range there is Moto X available for $299 but is not powerful as well. Next we have 16 GB Nexus 5 at $349 the closest competition of OnePlus One. The main rival would be the Chinese brand Oppo Find 7a at $499.

            The OnePlus One is a fully loaded device which packs an impressive specs sheet affordable price.

Audi RS7

Hello friends welcome to my blog http://techsonwheel.blogspot.in. What do you think when you are told to think about a sports car. Many of us including me would think about big nose, aerodynamically shaped much like jets, two seater, small boot, two doors and are surprisingly faster than any legal road car.

     The Audi RS7, it hits 100kmph in just 3.93secs. The Audi RS7 is a sportier version of the A7 sedan. Introduced at the 2013 Detroit Show it gets the German automaker’s understated looks, but has sporty overtones in the form of aggressive bumpers and the RS badging. There are many cars which are quicker than RS7, but they doesn't possess 4 doors or big boot or neither they can sit two people in the back seat. But this can do and that too very nicely.

     It comes with camera in rear while reversing and an optional front camera too to.The RS7 feature big 20 inch  alloy wheels as standard and an optional 21 inch, for Indian road contd. it would be better to go with 20 inch if you are planning to buy it. The RS7 has an annoying but intelligent feature loaded in itself i.e., when you shutdown the car, it deploys a loud whirring noise under the hood. This whirring noise is made by the fan which cools down the engine rapidly and runs for 5 mins after you have stepped out the car.

      The RS7 has 4.0 litre turbocharged V8 engine in it with power of 552 bhp an peak torque of 700Nm. The mill has been mated with eight speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and power is sent to all the wheels via Quattro four wheel drive system. With these turbos you do get efficiency as well as low end torque. A highlight of the new car apart from the start-stop mechanism is the cylinder deactivation feature by which it can shut off four out of its eight cylinder and becoming 20% more efficient under low engine load.

      Audi has also modified the suspension for more sportier driving and adapted air suspension as well as sports suspension along with dynamic ride control.But the ride is still stiff for the Indian road contd. as a results things gets tossed inside over road joints and bumpers while driving at high speeds. The optional 21 inch wheels makes the contd. only worse. The important thing the style and personality that are put on it are in perfect amounts.

    The Audi RS7 got all the tenants of a four door sports sedan along with the practicality of a Sedan. The rivals of the Audi are Porsche Panamera, Maserati Quatroportte, Merc E63, Aston Martin Rapide. But it stands out clearly from all its rivals specially due to comfort sitting at second row seating. The Audi RS7 has got a price tag of Rs 1.7 crore on-road Mumbai.

Legacy of Honda

Hello guys welcome to my blog techsonwheel. It had been a long time since my last post. Sorry for that guys, so lets wrap it up.

  Today I'm going to write about a car manufactured by Honda. "Honda City" which has been a legend on Indian roads and has been a member to every family wherever it has gone.

         Honda City was first manufactured in 1981 and the 1st and 2nd Generation had an Hatchback design ! After a gap of yr, in 1996 it re-launched again in Sedan ver.

         In the year of 2014 Honda launched the 6th ver. of "City". By mid of 2009 Honda sold 1.2 millions units of CITY in 45 countries. The 6th ver. of City was unveiled in Nov'13 and was launched on Feb'14.

     
         Honda City takes an futuristic approach having more cuts and creases along with bold front grill & projector headlamp. On the interiors their is a combination of gloss and matte black surface. The AC vents and the Instrument cluster are made to appear as a seamless unit. In terms of features the top trim gets gets keyless entry & go, parking cameras, powered mirrors, steering mounted control, cruise control, Bluetooth Connectivity, sunroof, rear AC vents and Leather Upholstery. The City also have an LCD Display and have Two 12V socket for rear seats and it has also a boot space of 510litres.

     
        The City is powered by the same 1.5-litre 4cyl i-DTEC Engine that powers the Amaze. It produces 100PS of power at 3600rpm and 200Nm of torque at 1750rpm. The City is mated to six-speed gearbox and reaches 100km/hr mark from zero in 12.8secs though the top speed is restricted upto 140km/hr. The City's i-DTEC engine is much more refined and doesn't seem as noisy as Amaze. The City is the most fuel 24.1kmpl on highway and 15.5kmpl in city. It has better suspension alongwith ABS, EBD and Airbag as std on all model.

efficient sedan out there with a fig of   24.1kmpl on highway and 15.5kmpl in city. It has better suspension alongwith ABS, EBD and Airbag as std on models.

          Honda atlast restored the legacy of the 'City' and more importantly it is available in Diesel variant.

Champion of Champions

F1  vs GT3 vs Superbike, who's your money on ??

      Hello guys welcome to my blog techsonwheel. So which one of you does like the F1 most. Bcoz whichever you choose car or bike its gonna catch you up and move blazingly fast showing its back making you sad. 

         
             Formula One or F1 whichever we know it is the highest class of single seater racing under the authorization of Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA). The F1 races are held throughout the world in specially built tracks and public roads . These cars have the highest turning speed at corners with the help of huge down force that are created with the help of Aerodynamics of the cars. These cars speeds up to 350km/hr with engines power limited up to 15,000 RPM. The rules are made by FIA, these cars does not possess traction control and other driving aids since 2008 on aerodynamics, suspension and tyres. The cars are fitted with naturally aspirated V8 engines on its back. The team can use 100kgs of fuel per hour according to the new rules of FIA, the cars are becoming much hybrid with the new technologies. The drivers can use the KERS system which have the power capacity of 120 kilowatts(160bhp) from 60 kilowatts(80 bhp) previously to balance the sports move from 2.4 litre V8 engines to 1.6 litre V6 engines.

          So after the breathtaking knowledge we shift our focus to another sports i.e, the GT3 Championship. This championship also occurs every year. This championship is meant to provide competition for more amateur races in closer to production cars. Though the racers might be racing on production cars but it is highly balanced towards performance and handicap weights to make cars more equal. The cars used over are highly customised to increase their performance, they feel nothing like the street based production cars, they have the same engine but its more fine tuned and more balanced having different transmission, suspension, aerodynamics and tires. There are 11 teams taking part in this championship. 

         And at last after all these if your steady then there is the another racing championship which occurs  i.e, World Superbike Championship (WSBK). The racing championship has been going on since 1990's. The championship consists of a series of rounds that are held on permanent racing facilities. Each races comprises of two rounds to determine the World Champion one for the racer and one for Manufacturer. The bikes are tuned versions of bikes that are available for public. The championship is regulated by FIM. Currently the superbike motorcycles manufacturers are Arpilla, BMW, Ducati, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki. To be eligible for World Supersport  a motorcycle must have a four stoke engine of 400 and 600 cc for four cylinder machines, and between 600 and 750 cc for twin cylinder engines and also must satisfy the FIM requirements.

Lengendary Keys

Hello guys welcome to my blog techsonwheel. Today I'm going to speak about keys.

        A car key or an automobile key is a key used to open or to start an automobile, or both. Modern key designs are usually symmetrical, and some use grooves on both sides, rather than a cut edge, to actuate the lock. It has multiple uses for the automobile with which it was sold. A car key can open the doors, as well as start the ignition, open the glove compartment and also open the boot of the car. Some cars come with an additional key known as a Valet Key that starts the ignition and opens the driver's side door, but prevents the velet from gaining access to valuables that are located in the trunk or the glove box. Some valet keys, particularly those to high-performance vehicles, go so far as to restrict the engine's power output to prevent joyriding. Recently, features such as coded immobilizers have been implemented in newer vehicles. More sophisticated systems make ignition dependent on electronic devices, rather than the mechanical keyswitch.

Ignition switches or locks are combined with security locking of the steering column (in many modern vehicles) or the gear lever (such as in Saab Automobile vehicles). In the latter, the switch is between the seats, preventing damage to the driver's knee in the event of a collision.

Keyless Entry System which use either a door-mounted keypad or a remote control in place of a car key, are becoming a standard feature on many new cars. Some of them are handsfree

Some high-tech automotive keys are billed as theft deterrents. Mercedes Benz uses a key that, rather than have a cut metal piece to start the car, uses an encoded infrared beam that communicates with the car's computer. If the codes match, the car can be started. These keys can be expensive to replace if lost and can cost up to US $400.

A switchblade key is basically the same as any other car key, except in appearance. The switchblade key is designed to fold away inside the fob when it is not being used. Switchblade keys have become very popular recently because of their smart compact look. These type of keys are also commonly referred as Flip Keys.

Because switchblade keys are only developed for new car models, they are usually equipped with a programmed transponder chip.

       Yes it may sound boring to you but after reading my blog u would never tell that its a boring topic.
                                             

       Lets start from the classics. And don't ever forget that Small keys opens the biggest locks, and here the locks are cars...

1. With this in your hand you can screw most of the 1980's Cars by GM.

  

2. Next is my favorite comp. Ferrari and their keys made during 80's.

3. This is for our little Beetle made by Volkswagen.

4. And these Holes in the "Wall" rumbles up the flagship model of Porsche.

5. Aston Martin has always thought about luxury in every aspect related to their cars, even their keys. so in this we just need to push it.

6. Two keys for 1 car ! I ain't kidding, their are cars in the universe which possess these qualities, and that is Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

7. Koenisegg's car key may seem you are holding a tortoise in your hand, xcpt for the thng that this tortoise is never ever slow.

8. Last but not least our to our Eco-Friendly Car BMW i8. This keys tells u d imp. details of the car at that moment.

     One more remainder for you all friends as many of this are super cars, so as to save weight these are made like this.

     Thank you for reading my blog.

Beautiful India

Hello guys welcome to my blog techsonwheel. After a few days this my next blog. I had been travelling about a bit so i cant write on my blog. Today I'm at Ajmer, and its really a very beautiful place  surrounded by mountains all around. Its a very famous place all over the world and many tourists come here..

        The scenic view of 'Puskar' a place behind the mountains is a lovely place.. I hadn't seen any top class vehicles or techies but i'm amazed by the transport system over here. The number of  buses might be less but they offer good service and stop anywhere as in kolkata! The important thing i.e, road are are gr8 contd. for an vehicle to drive.

         Really vehicles are the lifeline of the peoples in mountains and other tourist spot where railways don't reach. And I just Hats Off to the drivers who drive through the dangerous roads. In Puskar tourist can rent bikes or scooty for their transportation. The market place is also nice but their main job is to con the foreigners. The shopkeepers ask for 1000 $ for simple products but even the dont leave the indian tourist. Similarly I asked the price for an wind chime made from colourful beads and shopkeeper told it was 500bucks!

          Ajmer is a also a great place, we went to  the Dargah of Mainudin Chisti. Its was sacred place, and had a beautiful mosque inside it where laid the tomb of Mainudin Chisti. After "Mecca & Medina" the Dargah of Ajmer is world famous. Bt the annoying part is the beggers which come along all the way to take money from you, not one or two but hundreds of beggars following you so that you give them money. If you give them 2 or 5rs they would tell "5 rupaiya mei kya hoga bhaiya, roti bhi nahi milega aur bhi do.. blah blah blah.".

         Lastly the place which I loved the most is the Gurudwara at Puskar. After Golden Temple this is the best Gurudwara I had seen. Its beauty, quiet and clean would attract anyone to come and see it.

         Thank you for reading my blog..
