The 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show saw the unveiling of a new M1 class vehicle known as the NXR. Domestic production is set to begin in the coming months with export production scheduled for the second quarter of 2010. The NXR will be available with either lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries. Well known Indian car designer Dilip Chhabria, is responsible for the styling. Range, speed, safety and interior specifications all fall along the lines of a new generation of battery electric vehicles. In Europe, the car will fall under NCAP crash testing regulations. The IC (inter-City) model has a top speed of 104 km/h (65 mph) and a range of 160 km (99 mi). The interior is of a far higher grade when compared to the earlier REVA quadracycle and the back seats now comfortably fit 2 adults. The NXR has some unusual features, one being its REVive battery charging system. Telematic remote access to the car's on-board Energy Management System allows REVA to analyse a near depleted battery upon request. Their support centre can individually determine the battery condition within seconds and allow access to the remaining charge. This serves as a virtual back-up battery while minimising the risk of damage to the powerpack due to depletion.

Sansera Engineering manufactures forged and machined components such as connecting rods, crank shaft assembly, gear shift forks, rocker arms etc. Their clients in India include Suzuki, TVS, Mahindra etc. and GM, Daewoo, Ducati, Yamaha etc. are the overseas clients.

The design process for a component begins with the client sending requirements in 2D or 3D format which is loaded onto the Sansera platform. A flow diagram is prepared which charts out each step from the procurement of raw material to dispatch of the products. With the help of various softwares like FFCAM and NC programs, the requirements are incorporated in the

design of the component. Materials are finalised after detailed analysis of the various pros and cons and safety considerations. Each step of the process is tracked and this helps in faster operation.

Sansera also designs most of the machines they use. This reduces their expenses drastically. The designs are user-friendly, easily maintained; meet all functional and ergonomic needs.

MULDER INDIA PVT. LTD.


Mulder Porcelain Pvt. Ltd. does ceramic transfers which is printing on porcelain or other hard-surfaced pottery like bone china, stoneware etc. They follow a systematic process of transferring a design onto a hard surface.






The first step of the process involves artists who design the patterns to be transferred either manually or digitally. Once the design is approved by the client, the next step is to separate colors in the design, giving the positive images for printing.Each color used in the design has a separate positive image.



The positives are given to the pre-press section and exposed to a photographic film or screen to which it is transferred. It is exposed to yellow light for about 4-5 minutes. Next, this is exposed to light. Each color has a separate screen. After the positive has been transferred on to the screen it is washed to obtain the negative. The negative is then developed to obtain the sticker. The sticker is given a protective coating. It can be transferred onto the required surface by wetting it. To ensure that it does not peel off, the surface is baked.



The colors used are available in powdered form and is mixed with a medium before using it for ceramic transfer.

Tile printing is also carried out in similar manner.

They do heat transfer prints for textile and garment industry also.
