• HOMOLOGATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES IN
INTERNATIONAL MARKET
PROBLEM
• How homologation norms are the significant
barriers for the international market .
• Despite India’s superiority in developing
technology homologation norms are acting as
a international market.
• *standardization vs Adaptaion
ASSUMPTION
• The automobile market is growing all around
the market with a equally.
• Homologation is a standardized process
accepted across the Globe rather than
adapted .
HOMOLOGATION
• Homologation - Automotive companies must obtain permission
• from the applicable governmental bodies to sell vehicles in a given
• market. Obtaining permission often requires the company to:
• – Document expected performance and offer such documentation
for
• governmental review.
• – Submit sample of their products for testing prior to sale.
• – Demonstrate compliance usually through testing of prototypes
• representative of production.
• – Prove capability to consistently build identical, regulatory-
compliant
• components/ vehicles (Conformity of Production).
PARTS OF HOMOLOGATION
• Homologation: can be classified into 2 principal
• systems as:
• 1. Type Approval - Manufacturer proves that all
• applicable regulations are satisfied before the vehicle is
• allowed to be offered for sale. Whole type approval refers
• to obtaining type approval for a vehicle in its entirety, as
• opposed to obtaining approval for selected components or
• systems.
• 2. Self-Certification - Manufacturer proves that a
• vehicle meets the applicable regulations, but witnessed
• testing prior to sale is not necessary.

USA
• Emissions Certification
• • In the U.S., the process of
emissions certification
• are included:
• (1) testing vehicles to certify that
vehicles will pass
• emission requirements,
• (2) packaging and submitting the
resulting data for
• review by governmental
authorities, and
• (3) otherwise proving compliance
with legal emission
• requirements.

EU CERTIFICATION TESTING
PROCESS
• Conformity of Production (COP) element
• COP requirements are based
• around established quality systems principles
and, in general, certification to ISO 9001 may
be an acceptable basis. The
• current car type approval legislations can be
streamlined to focus on the key safety and
environmental issues which have
• been recognised over the years. These topics
come under the following headings:
• ♦ Environment
• ♦ Active Safety
• ♦ Passive Safety
• ♦ Lighting Equipment
• ♦ Miscellaneous
US CERTIFICATION TESTIING PROCESS
• In the U.S., an automotive company is
• required to test vehicles for the purpose of
• (a) certifying the vehicle for emissions and
• (b) determining the fuel economy
• Before performing emissions test, total road
load
• horsepower (TRLHP) is determined for each
vehicle
• model type through test track coastdown
testing.
• • The TRLHPs are then simulated on chassis
• dynamometers so that laboratory testing of
emissions
• and fuel economy vehicles may be conducted
Q2.CRITICAL ANALYSIS
• EU: Representative of the contractor39 Richard Smokers gave an introductory presentation on
• the main elements and findings of the report on the Assessment of options for the
• legislation of CO2 emissions from light commercial vehicles. The main conclusions of
• the report were:
• • 175 g/km target can be reached in 2012/15
• – at around 10% retail price increase
• • 160 g/km target not feasible for 2015
• – based on static cost curves for 2012-15 period with conservative safety
• margin for assessing total reduction potential for combined measures
• – assessment of a long-term target for 2020 still on-going
• – analysis will include additional technological options and cost
• reduction as function of cumulative production due to learning
• effects
• • mass-based limit function with slope ≥ 80% preferred due to:
• – lowest average costs per vehicle for meeting target
• – most equal distribution of efforts among manufacturers
• – limited chance of perverse effects compared to M1
• • non-zero AMI has strong impacts on costs
• impacts on CO2 corrected by adjusting the limit curve
• 39
USA
• US: The general process these vehicles undergo is as follows:
• 1. Vehicles are checked in at 0 mile to ensure that the vehicle is
• representative of production and that the results of an initial
• emissions test do not imply any problems.
• 2. Vehicles undergo mileage accumulation and are tested at
• appropriate intervals. The mileage accumulation and frequency of
• testing vary with fleet type.
• 3. Test data and vehicle characteristic data are collected and
inserted
• into a certification application, which is then submitted to EPA
• and/or CARB for approval.
• 4. Additional vehicle testing is required to satisfy EPA fuel economy
• requirements (Fuel Economy Label and CAFE).
EU
• Certification and Homologation
• For final type approval testing, Certification and
Homologation, an independent , can offer project
• management of the homologation process at any stage be
it in terms of liaison with the appropriate Type Approval
Body
• (for example VCA, RDW, KBA), organising the testing,
formulating the paperwork and preparing the final
certification
• documentation for either whole vehicles or component
level.
• As an internationally-recognised test & development centre
with
EU NORMS
RELATIVE PRICE INCREASE IN EU
EU
• Environmental Impacts
• 5.4.1. Overall impacts in terms of emissions
• The overall CO2 abatement in two alternatives is presented in Table 15 and Table 16 (in
• the Annex). The estimated emission reduction for the 2010-2020 in option 1 amounts to
• 67-77 million tonnes (100% slope). However, the variation in savings between the
• different slopes is not very large, it may occur because of slight shift in vehicle sales.
• The CO2 abatement in option 2 is at least 60 million tonnes. The difference between the
• options is caused by the fact that the target of 175 g/km will be achieved at the most 3
• years later that in option 1.
• According to TREMOVE modelling37:
• • The reduction in the GHG emissions in period from 2010 to 2020 (Table 15 in the
• Annex) corresponds roughly to 10% of the reductions calculated in the impact
• assessment for CO2 in cars, which is in line with the proportion of the vehicle fleet
• sizes of the vehicle fleet in the covered categories (the number of newly registered
• LCVs in 2005 was 12% of the number of passenger cars).
USA
• Fuel Economy Data Vehicles (FEDVs)
• • Fuel Economy Data Vehicles are tested to
establish
• fuel economy values for
• – (1) fuel economy labels, and
• – (2) CAFE requirements.
• • Vehicles are tested in groups based on their
• configuration/sub-configuration.

Q4. PRODUCT DEVELOMENT
APPROACHhttp://www.b2binternational.com/library/whitepapers/product_development_market_research.php
• Using Market Research In Product Development
• Applications For Market Research
The Innovation Adoption Curve
Maturity – Improving Product
Performance
• Improving The Customer Value Proposition
Rejuvenation Of The Product Life Cycle
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT STAGE
• Product development research is used at all stages of the
product life cycle, from the conceptual stage through to
maturity. It serves a host of purposes, such as establishing
(unmet) needs, estimating likely demand, setting prices,
shaping the specification of the product or determining
optimal price points, to name but a few examples. What’s
more, market research can unleash potential opportunities
for new products, as well as rejuvenate existing products,
perhaps by incorporating new features or finding new
markets. Given the costs involved in innovation, research
and development, and commercialization, as well as the
costs incurred in maintaining an aging weak product,
product development research provides a high return on
investment.
