Young engineers invent a little red wonder - Bangalore

Cars, these days, seem to have reached their point of evolution. At first glance, it may seem like a regular Maruti 800, but appearances can deceive.

A group of four students from Sapthagiri College of Engineering have developed a hybrid car as part of their final-year project. Behind the wheel are Suraj Kumar B S, Srikanta B J, Nagarjun V and Naveen Kumar M, all students of mechanical engineering.

So what makes this hybrid car so special? It runs on two engines, unlike regular models, which have only one. Consequently, there is a remarkable reduction in fuel consumption. The hybrid car conforms to fuel emission norms. “In fact, the hybrid version of any car can give better fuel-efficiency and emit lesser amount of harmful gases, making it eco-friendly,” says Nagarjun, a team member. What’s more, it can run on LPG and petrol.

Developing this car was no easy job either. The boys managed to gather different parts of the car from garages all over the city. “It was searching for a motor that took long,” says Srikanta. With the recession here, people were wary of sponsoring the project. The entire project was self-funded, and cost a little less than a lakh.

Asked if the car would hit the roads or be commercialized in future, they said they’re working on developing it further, and then introduce it in the market. “Nobody has approached us yet. This model is a crude one. We want to improvise it,” says Nagarjun.
The project, which seemed like a mission impossible in the beginning, ultimately turned out to be a marvel, and is a source of pride for their college. “Our college is insisting that we leave this car at college, so our juniors can work on it.”
All four agree that it was teamwork, perseverance and collaboration over three months, that turned their pet project into a little red wonder.

WHAT MAKES THE HYBRID CAR DIFFERENT?
Fuel-efficiency is 40% greater than the regular cars It uses an old Sipani Montana 850cc engine and motor of 5.5HP There is reduced noise level and decrease in emission of harmful gases Gives mileage of 16.5 km per litre, unlike a regular model whose mileage is 12 km per litre

TRIO, India’s first tri-fuel car- Mullana, Ambala

In their endeavour to produce a cost-effective and environment-friendly vehicle, the students of Maharishi Markandeshwar University, Mullana, Ambala, have developed the first of its kind tri-fuel car: TRIO.

Four BTech students of MM University — Ankit Kakkar, Mohit Goyal, Varun Dhir and Piyush Saini — have proved their mettle by developing the TRIO.

The car can run on conventional fossil fuel, i.e. gasoline and LPG, as well as on electricity. The basic aim of TRIO is to reduce the cost of transportation and pollutant emission of the vehicle.
