How India celebrates Technology Daywave of novel achievements in Automotive sector makes driving in India smoother and more comfortable. Here, let’s take a quick look at five creative features and technologies that have become popular recently that you can consider before hitting the road.
Two-cylinder CNG technology
CNG-powered cars are often praised for their cost savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. However, owners often faced storage issues as vast CNG tanks took up space in the trunk. Tata engines this problem was solved by introducing two-cylinder technology. Instead of one vast cylinder, two smaller cylinders were used, which allowed for more storage space in the trunk. Additionally, the spare wheel is attached to the bottom of the car, which maximizes storage efficiency.
Automatic air conditioning
Indian summers may be unforgiving, as they have been so far in 2024, but automatic air conditioning takes the guesswork out of maintaining a comfortable cabin temperature. By automatically adjusting fan speed and temperature, this feature does the work for you – instead of having to constantly adjust the air conditioning function.
Ventilated and heated seats
Ventilated seats in your car, they keep you cold on scorching days by blowing air through compact holes in the seat, while heated seats keep you toasty on chilly days by gently warming the seat surface. They make driving more comfortable, regardless of the weather outside. Many affordable cars in India have started offering this feature.
Heads-up display (HUD)
Putting safety first, HUD technology displays critical information such as speed, navigation and warnings directly on the windshield, within the driver’s line of sight. By minimizing distractions and maintaining focus on the road, HUD increases driver awareness and reaction times, making it increasingly significant for India’s energetic streets.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
A significant step forward in driver safety, ADAS features such as lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking and blind spot detection provide an additional layer of protection. By warning drivers of potential hazards and intervening in critical situations, ADAS can significantly reduce the number of accidents on Indian roads. That’s why several manufacturers offer ADAS level 2 features in their products; however, this is currently a feature circumscribed to certain higher specification variants only and is not available on entry-level models Indian cars.
Talking about the technological advancements in the Indian solar industry, Tarun Garg, Chief Operating Officer, Hyundai Motor India, said, “The Indian automotive market is rapidly evolving with customer preferences shifting towards value consciousness and prioritizing convenience and technology features. Hyundai’s connected car software, Hyundai Bluelink , now available as an option on over 84% of our product range, has achieved significant success. Since its introduction in 2019, we have already sold over 500,000 connected vehicles. Additionally, Hyundai is committed to improving vehicle safety with ADAS. equipped models are gaining popularity (30% penetration) among safety-conscious buyers Hyundai Motor India is the only OEM in India with 7 ADAS-equipped models in its portfolio. Looking ahead, we envision vehicles being software-defined, revolutionizing mobility across the globe, and we at Hyundai Motor India are committed to bringing industry-defining products and services to our beloved Indian customers.”
