Mahindra Logan Here After “Verito”

Mahindra Logan

Mahindra & Mahindra has renamed the Logan as the ‘Verito’ (Truth in Latin) thus keeping up with the tradition at Mahindra where names of cars always end with an ‘O’. This comes as Renault-Nissan dropped the Logan and terminated the deal with Mahindra & Mahindra who had partnered Renault-Nissan earlier.

Mahindra still have the rights to produce the Logan and the re-badging was looking inevitable. Now, Mahindra produce the Logan without any intervention from Renault-Nissan. However, the company still does provide the transmission and engine for the Verito (Logan).

Mahindra & Mahindra were initially thought to relaunch the Logan with the new name which didn’t happen. Instead, they have just announced that the Logan from now on will be called the Mahindra Verito. The Verito will be an entry-level mid-sized sedan for the masses. The main rivals of the Verito will be the Tata Indigo CS which is priced around the same bracket as the Verito.

The Verito comes with a 1.4 litre and 1.6 litre petrol and 1.5 litre diesel engines and is priced from Rs 4.5 lakh to Rs 6.45 lakh ex-showroom Pune. The diesel motor of the Verito is extremely torquey and has a nice low- end grunt which allows for hassle- free city driving

Manufactured for the first time with a choice of 5-door and 3-door bodystyles (in Europe), new Kia Rio is set to completely redefine its position as one of the most competitive vehicles in one of the most competitive sectors – the B-segment.

In many countries, diesel power is the preferred option in this segment and Rio will be available with two versions of Kia’s ‘U2′ power unit – both fitted with 16-valves and a WGT. The 1.4-litre generates 90 ps and 216 Nm of torque, while the 1.1-litre produces 70 ps and 162 Nm. Both engines deliver maximum torque from just 1,750 rpm. A well-proven power unit in the Kia line-up, the updated ‘Gamma’ has friction-reducing modifications and dual CVVT (continuously variable valve timing), to achieve a responsive performance and competitively modest fuel consumption. With maximum output of 109 ps and peak torque of 136 Nm, accelerating to 100 kph in 11.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of 181 kph (112 mph).

Kia Rio also offers ISG technology, new to the Kia line-up, where the engine turns off when the vehicle is not in motion. The engine restarts automatically when the driver releases the brake pedal, resulting in lower levels of fuel consumption in stop-start urban traffic.

2012-Kia-Rio-5-Door-Hatchback-Interior-View

The 5-door version of new Kia Rio will go on sale in Europe during the third quarter of 2011 with the all-new 3-door model joining Kia’s B-segment line-up in the first quarter of 2012. Both versions will be manufactured exclusively at Kia’s Sohari plant in Korea.

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Next Generation IC Engine | How HCCI Works

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a form of internal combustion in which well-mixed fuel and oxidizer (typically air) are compressed to the point of auto-ignition. As in other forms of combustion, this exothermic reaction releases chemical energy into a sensible form that can be transformed in an engine into work and heat.

HCCI 1

Ever imagined an engine that will be as frugal and long lasting as a diesel motor while revving as high and sounding as smooth as a high strung petrol motor? How about running the same engine with a multitude of fuel options, or say an omnivorous engine? All this is very likely in the future. Read on as ICB’s inhouse tech expert gives you a overview of what is known as the HCCI engine.

If a petrol engine of 1.2 lit gives 15kmpl, the same size of diesel engine gives approximately 20kmpl. Petrol engines are SI (Spark Ignition) engines and diesels are CI (Compressed Ignition).  Compression ratio of petrol engines is much lower than that of diesel engine.

HCCI has characteristics of the two most popular forms of combustion used in SI engines: homogeneous charge spark ignition (gasoline engines) and CI engines: stratified charge compression ignition (diesel engines). As in homogeneous charge spark ignition, the fuel and oxidizer are mixed together. However, rather than using an electric discharge to ignite a portion of the mixture, the density and temperature of the mixture are raised by compression until the entire mixture reacts spontaneously. Stratified charge compression ignition also relies on temperature and density increase resulting from compression, but combustion occurs at the boundary of fuel-air mixing, caused by an injection event, to initiate combustion.

HCCI

HCCI engines have been shown to achieve extremely low levels of Nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) without an after treatment catalytic converter. The unburned hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions are still high (due to lower peak temperatures), as in gasoline engines, and must still be treated to meet automotive emission regulations.
