Analysis of Lubricants in India

Chevron products Company, a Chevron U.S. A Inc. division, maker of the Delo(R) brand of technologically advanced heavy duty engine oils, lubricants and coolants, unveiled a new category of heavy duty motor oil designed to address the growth of severe duty applications in on-and off-highway markets. Quality heavy-duty engine oils must also disperse soot and control sludge in order to help guard against the loss of an engine’s life. Properly lubricating the inside of a heavy-duty engine requires more than just creating a protective film. Delo products have assisted in reducing operating costs and improving fuel efficiency. Switching to this product Delo 's fuel economy products, and a 4% fuel economy improvement compared to SAE 15W-40 oils. Actual results will vary depending upon vehicle type, load and other driving conditions [4].

With the upcoming Presidential election, there is a very real possibility of big political challenges; as well as, major changes to international trade policies facing the American Automotive Companies. Political changes, locally and abroad, are having an effect on the automotive industry. Britain recently voted to exit the European Union; this event, which is being called Brexit, is having a ripple effect across the world. The full result of Brexit won’t be known for two years or more, but with the automotive industry having such a large presence in the U.K, an anticipated change is in full effect. In general, for the next two years, global automakers will need to pay attention to the market; be prepared for unanticipated changes; and ready for the possible need of contingency plans. This is especially crucial as negotiations take place between Britain and the EU. Ian

While car manufacturing is a global industry, automotive companies such as JLR operate in broader regions such as Europe and Asia. Three major trends were identified affecting car production in mature markets, the first was the fragmentation of mature markets, customers were demanding more choice, and this has made it difficult for manufacturers to obtain economies of scale, so cost had to be reduced and with the general

In many ways, the automotive industry has huge impacts on Canada. The impact it has creates jobs, and services. It also boosts economy and contributes to its success. Over the last two decades, the automotive industry has been a leading contributor to Canada’s economy and is a primary factor as to whether or not the economy will be successful. There are many contributing branches of the sector that allow it to be successful. This is shown through the production and manufacturing of vehicles, as well as the sale of the vehicles. The automotive industry has had a significant impact on Canada’s economy over the last 10 years. If the production and sale of domestic vehicles were to decline, Canada’s economy to be severely crippled and fall

Emerging economies like China, India and Thailand are rapidly expanding their vehicle and automotive component production. At the same time, these and other emerging economies, apply various tariff and non-tariff barriers which serve as a hindrance on

The last several years were also tumultuous for the U.S. auto industry. After dominating the market for decades, American automakers had grown complacent about product development. At the same time, rising gas prices and uncertainty about the economy caused consumer preferences to shift from SUVs to more fuel efficient vehicles. Foreign competitors entered the U.S. market offering more reliable, higher quality and more fuel efficient vehicles at a lower price and began to steal market share away from American automakers. In order to remain competitive, U.S. automakers need to focus on increasing production efficiencies and developing innovative product offerings. Firm Analysis

Lube oil maintains its ability to cool and lubricate. Yet, its lubricating quality tends to deteriorate over time due to contaminants such as dirt, sludge, metals, and water to name just a few. Many methods exist to remove these contaminants. These methods include; strainers, filtration, settling tanks, and centrifugal type purifiers. In the centrifugal purification process, there are two common methods used. One method is the batch purification process where all of the oil is removed from a storage tank (sump, settler, etc.) by the purifier and is delivered cleaned to another reservoir. This method is typically done on machinery that is not operating. The other method is the continuous process where the centrifuge takes a portion of the oil from a tank, cleans it, and recycles it back to the same tank. This method can be used on operating equipment but is not as fast or efficient as the batch process. Centrifuges can also be used as Separators or Clarifiers. Separators use a dam ring or discharge ring and remove water as well as solids from the oil being purified. The water is discharged from the purifier. A clarifier is used when the main contaminant is sediments, and water does not need to be removed from a system. Any small amounts of water that does enter the centrifuge will remain in the bowl until it is cleaned.

It can be hard to believe that anything in a can help you get through an auto repair and achieve better results. But I'm here to tell you that it's true. In this article we'll talk about five miracle lubricants used in everyday auto repairs.

According to the World Bank (2016), “Mexico is the second largest economy in Latin America” (Iliff, 2016). Mexico is one of the largest auto producers and exporters. “Mexico, produced 3.4 million vehicles in 2015, raking seventh largest vehicle producer in the world and first in Latin America” (Administration, I. T. (2016). Automotive manufacturing is growing, and large automotive companies such as Nissan, Mazda, Volkswagen, and GM, who have plants already established in Mexico, are now planning to expand their facilities. Half of the cars sold in Mexico are made there, and the other half is imported (Iliff, 2016).

Just like the other industries such as apparel, electronics, and consumer goods, the automobile industry has accelerated its foreign direct investment, cross border trade and global production. The automobile industry has increased outsourcing and bundled value chain activities in major supplier chains. As a result, more developed countries that serve as suppliers have increased their involvement in trade and FDI. With these increased supplier capabilities, large national suppliers have become global suppliers and are now controlling multinational operations. This is because of their increased capability of providing good and services to various lead firms all over the world. The automotive industry has a distinct firm structure. This

In 1913, Henry Ford revolutionized product manufacturing by introducing the first assembly line to the automotive industry. Ford’s hallmark of achievement proved to be a key competence for the motor company as the low cost of the Model T attracted a broader, new range of prospective car-owners. However, after many decades of success, customers have become harder to find. Due to relatively new threats to the industry, increasing numbers of cars and trucks are parked in dealer lots and showrooms creating an alarming trend of stagnation and profit erosion. Foreign-based automakers, such as Toyota and Honda, have expanded operations onto domestic shores and, in turn, have wrestled

The financial crisis starting in 2008 and the following recession hit hard the US auto sector. Traditional car makers had to realise that substantial changes were needed in order to maintain their strong position in the

The United States Automotive industry has been dominated by five major auto manufacturers: GM, Toyota, Ford, Chrysler, and Honda. As globalization increases the domestic automotive market (GM, Ford, Chrysler) suffers from foreign competitors. Although with high entrance barriers the market suffers little to none from new entries. There are several reasons for this the largest being capital. It takes a lot of capital to obtain manufacturing plants, raw materials, as well as to hire and train employees. PASTEL Analysis

World oil demand is increasing as emerging economies need more energy to increase their living standards. Estimates, shown below, are that by 2030, China and India as emerging markets will import over 70% to 90% of their fossil fuel needs (1) . Coupled to a continued high and growing demand for oil, makes this a robust market for the next 30 years.

The characteristics of the global motor vehicle industry are a boom in certain places and a bust in others all due to economic conditions in different nations. Four years after tow of Detroit Michigan’s big three went into bankruptcy American car makers are going “full throttle” with sales in August hitting an annual rate that if substantiated can take them back over 16 million and that is a rate that was last hit before the economic crisis and 80% higher than 2009 when GM and Chrysler went into bankruptcy. The opposite is happening in Europe being in its sixth year slump now and with a weak economy, high petroleum prices and an aging
