13. RECOMMENDATIONS
The key recommendations are as follows:
- Fiscal concessions for adoption of automotive electronics.
- Making available unleaded petrol.
- Creating nodal facility for testing and coordination.
- Initial import of critical components from global giants.
- To replicate the pattern adopted by Taiwan & Japan for emission control technology for two wheelers. Taiwan with a population of 30 million has 8.5 million two wheelers in use. This country has very effectively adopted automotive electronics for two wheelers.
- Arranging training programmes
- Demonstration in exhibitions like ‘Auto 93’.
- Major emphasis will have to be laid for increasing awareness for environmental friendly vehicle and commitment of automobile user to the larger section of society which is deprived of vehicle benefits but has to face hazards due to emissions from vehicles.
14. ACTION PLAN
On the basis of recommendations made, actions will have to be taken and targets will be required to be set on following points:
- Identification of nodal agency and working group.
- Deciding priorities of technology acceptance and transfer.
The suggested priorities in order are as follows for EEM
i) Diesel HCVS & LCVS
ii) 2/3 wheeler
iii) Passenger cars.
- Setting targets for achieving 20% of annual vehicle production with in-built EEM by the year 2000.
- EEM system development listed above should immediately be followed by ABS.
No institutional or government is needed for electronics in instrumentation, comfort, entertainment, security as these features are market pull driven.
15. CONCLUSION
This report analyses new opportunities for setting up industrial projects for the manufacture of EEM systems, ABS and especially components like microcontrollers, opto-electronic devices, metal oxide varister, fluorescent indicator panels etc. as technology is rapidly changing in the world, review report for assessing technology progress achievement should be planned around 1997.
