Emerging technologies are technologies whose

development, practical applications, or both are still

largely unrealized, such that they are figuratively

emerging into prominence from a background of

nonexistence or obscurity. These technologies are

generally new but also include older technologies that

are still relatively undeveloped in potential


CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
Emerging technologies are those technical

innovations which represent progressive

developments within a field for competitive

advantage

As innovation drives economic growth, and large

economic rewards come from new inventions, a great

deal of resources (funding and effort) go into the

development of emerging technologies

Since the introduction of automobiles to the

mainstream markets of the world, technological

innovations have always been a part of the industry.

The automobile industry is witness to several

incredible technological advances over the last

century. Right from the arrival of engines that used

fossil fuels to power transportation, the impact of

technology in shaping the automobiles over the course

has been enormous. Just like every other industry, the

automobile industry is also rapidly advancing in

contemporary times.
The integration of technological advances makes cars

safer, user friendly and has introduced several

features that improve their value and usefulness for

automobile owners. Modern automobiles can offer

much more than driving you from one point to

another, just like modern cell phones are capable of

performing more than just a call.

the century-old automotive ecosystem, which has

undergone a drastic change.


INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

While the story of India’s economic growth over the

last twenty years is well known, it is often explained as

a services-driven phenomenon. However, some

manufacturing sectors have played an important role in

this economic growth, and the automotive sector is

prominent among them.

The automotive sector’s contribution is not only in

terms of revenues, profits, taxes and employment, but

more importantly in quality processes, efficiency

improvements, and product innovation. This dynamism

has been seen across the sector – in the commercial

vehicles, utility vehicles, cars, two-wheelers and

automobile component industries.

The Indian automotive industry is seeing significant

transformation with respect to its sustainable growth

and profitability. The fundamentals for growth

drivers in the automotive industry remain intact and

the sector is likely to see an increased upward trend

in demand in the coming years as the economic

environment improves and investments increase. The


Government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative has played an
important role in elevating the country’s position

and it has improved on nine out of ten parameters

for ease of doing business in the last three to four

years. Today, India is looked upon as a favorable

destination for low-cost manufacturing. The World

Economic Forum has ranked it 30th on the Global

Manufacturing Index-3, which assesses the

manufacturing capabilities of countries.

The automobile industry in India is the world’s fifth

largest. India was the world's fifth largest

manufacturer of cars and seventh largest

manufacturer of commercial vehicles in 2019. Indian

automotive industry (including component

manufacturing) is expected to reach Rs. 16.16-18.18

trillion (US$ 251.4-282.8 billion) by 2026.

Overall, automobile export reached 4.77 million vehicles

in FY20, growing at a CAGR of 6.94% during FY16-FY20.

Two wheelers made up 73.9% of the vehicles exported,

followed by passenger vehicles at 14.2%, three wheelers

at 10.5% and commercial vehicles at 1.3%.

The electric vehicle (EV) market is estimated to be a

Rs. 50,000 crore (US$ 7.09 billion) opportunity in


India by 2025. Several
technology and automotive companies have expressed

interest and/or made investments into the India EV

space.

The Government of India expects automobile sector

to attract US$ 810 billion in local and foreign

investment by 2023.
KEY PLAYERS IN INDIA

The market is characterized by the presence of

dominant players capturing a large market share of

individual segments. Maruti Suzuki India Limited and

Hyundai Motor India account for more than half of the

country's passenger vehicles market. Maruti Suzuki

India Limited has been the market leader for a long

time and continues to dominate the market by offering

multiple vehicles in each passenger vehicle sub-

segment at competitive prices. Other prominent

players in the passenger vehicle segment include

Mahindra S Mahindra Ltd., Tata Motors, Honda India,

and Ford Motor Company.

The three wheelers market is dominated by two

companies, Bajaj Auto Ltd. and Piaggio S C. SpA,

accounting for almost three- quarters of the market

demand in 2019. However, with the advent of electric

rickshaws, companies such as Mahindra Electric

Mobility are expected to intensify the country's market

competition. Apart from the three-wheelers market,

the electrification trend is expected to change the


competitive scenario of the country's overall

automotive industry. Companies


have launched or announced the launch of electric

cars, busses, and trucks to sustain the growing

competition. Some prominent

players in the India automotive market include:

• Tata Motors Ltd.

• Mahindra S Mahindra Ltd.

• Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.

• Hero MotoCorp Ltd.

• Bajaj Auto Ltd.

• Ashok Leyland Ltd.

• Sundaram Clayton Ltd.

• TVS Motor Company Ltd.

• Eicher Motors Ltd.

• Honda Motor Co., Ltd.

• Hundai

• MG Motor
CHALLENGES IN
AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRY
Despite the ongoing challenge of COVID-19, the

Indian automotive industry seems to be overcoming

most of its challenges, and many are now in the

review mirror. The sector is also benefiting from new

tailwinds, such as global supply- chain rebalancing,

government incentives to increase exports, and

technology disruptions that create white spaces.

These developments will help create opportunities at

all levels of the automotive value chain.

Trying to overcome the unprecedented challenge, the

auto industry stakeholders went for digitization to

adapt to the new normal and serve clients while

learning to be nimble-footed to keep factories

operating under COVID-19 restrictions and

concentrating on financial health by reducing costs

and generating free cash flows.

These challenges include a shortage of steel and

micro- processors (semiconductors) impacting


electronic components and systems.
Incidentally, the biggest challenge is to sustain

business operations and securing the financial health

of the organization. Performance of the automotive

industry is also linked to each stakeholder in the value

chain starting from vendors to the dealerships.

Let’s take a look at some of the challenges facing the


automotive

industry in 2021: -

New Regulations: -

China is now the world’s biggest market for

automobiles if we go by unit number. The challenge

for automakers here will be whether they should

consider entering the market and trying to compete.

More Demand for Independent Traders :-

We can also expect to see demand increase for

independent motor traders. While 2020 saw a bigger

demand than expected for new vehicles, we should see

some contraction in the market this year. This would

also be a perfect time to start a business as an

independent car retailer.

Alternative Fuel Vehicles: -


Carmakers cannot afford to ignore alternative fuels

anymore and will need to make concrete efforts to

meet the demand not only for fuel-efficient vehicles,

but vehicles that aren’t using fuel at all. There is a

torrent of information being released every day both

on new automotive technology and the impact of fossil

fuels on the planet. This debate is not going away

anytime soon and will keep increasing in the next

decade.
CHAPTER-3
EMERGING
TECHNOLOGY IN
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Today’s economies are dramatically changing, triggered

by development in emerging markets, the accelerated

rise of new technologies, sustainability policies, and

changing consumer preferences around ownership.

Digitization, increasing automation, and new business

models have revolutionized other industries, and

automotive will be no exception. These forces are giving

rise to four disruptive technology-driven trends in the

automotive sector: diverse mobility, autonomous driving,

electrification, and connectivity.

At the rate that smart technology is advancing,

companies have to work hard to avoid being left

behind. We’ve already seen huge advancements such

as in-car Bluetooth systems, dash-cams, and key

finders. But what’s next for the world of automotive

tech?
The smart technology predictions over the next few

years are set to totally revolutionize the way people

drive.

These new ideas will focus on safer driving, easier

driving, and adding more fun enhancements to your

driving experience.

The technologies which will hasten the transition of

automotive are many and fast-changing. These are

elements that will impact the autonomous vehicle,

connected vehicle, ADAS (advanced driver assistance

system), and vehicle telematics.

Some of the emerging technologies which we think

would change the automobile in coming decade are:

 Electric Vehicle Battery:

The electric vehicle is going to be the way forward for

the automotive and battery will play a key role here. The

automotive industry bets its future on batteries.

Government agencies, Investors and carmakers are

pouring money into research of batteries in a worldwide

race to profit from emission free electric vehicles.


According to Indian Brand Equity Foundation, EV sales,

excluding E-rickshaws, in India witnessed a growth of

20% and reached 1.56 lakh units in FY20 driven by two

wheelers. The
increasing rate of reliance on fossil fuels and the harm to

the environment caused by using them has changed the

outlook of automotive sector. Moreover, it has given

emphasis to electric vehicles (EVs). Electric vehicle

makers should come up with solutions on poor battery,

high price, inadequate charging infrastructure,

renewable energy-based charging, and fleet

electrification.
 Battery Infused Body Panel / Energy
Storing Body Panels:

The carbon fiber composite panels were infused with

flexible super-capacitors capable of harnessing the

energy generated through regenerative braking, and

discharge back into the electric motor when needed.

The composite material also reduced the weight by

60% compared to existing components. While the

technical outcome was encouraging commercialization

will be subject to the cost of carbon fiber, including

recycled carbon fiber also which is too expensive,

compared to steel or aluminum.


 Smart Tyers:

The tires’ outer surface is made of elastic polymer

(bionic skin), giving it the flexibility much alike human

skin, allowing it to expand and contract as per the

road surface condition. In case of puncture, the sensor

in the tread can locate it and the tyre rotates to

change the contact patch. This reduces pressure on

the puncture and allows the self-healing process to

start. The self- healing works thanks to materials

which are specifically designed to be able to flow

towards the puncture. They react physically and

chemically with each other to form new molecular

bonds, closing the puncture.

 Artificial Intelligence & Machine


Learning:
AI-based autonomous vehicle are the pacesetter in the

auto industry. AI is enabling smart travel methods

through self- driving cars. These vehicles do not need

drivers and work on sensors and software. For control

and navigation. Autonomous vehicles are meant to

reduce the requirement of human drivers to make day-

to-day transport easy. Big industry players like Uber,

Tesla, Google are strongly supporting working

towards autonomous cars, making them more reliable.

With the current pace, it is estimated that further

application will also be explored, and investments will

pour in in the coming years.


 Inflatable Solar Panel Car Cover:

A roof-mounted device that, with a flip of a switch,

covers the entire parked vehicle in a shield of solar

panels. It’s been more than six years since

Ford introduced its C-Max Solar Energy Concept. The

rooftop solar system that tracks the sun’s movement

and uses a Fresnel lens to concentrate its energy to

charge the C-Max plug and the system could produce

8 kilowatts of power.

 Big Data & Analytics:


Big Data Analytics has the potential to deliver a

competitive advantage to the automotive industry by

creating new revenue


generation opportunities. Nowadays, companies build

abilities to leverage big data analytics by quickly

generating new insights based on an analysis of

structured and unstructured data.

Companies are using these insights to design new and

innovative products and services that are driven by

data to fulfill the business priorities and customer

needs through data analytics to glean valuable

insights through its data sets derived through

vibrations, temperature, and pressure sensors in their

cars.

 Blockchain:

Blockchain has enabled the information more secure

and safe to change, hack or cheat the system. It


transforms the organization’s processes. It enables to

share the vehicle data over


a secure network for connectivity and shared mobility

solutions such as urban transportation, ride-hailing

and deliveries. It is also used in the verification

process to improve efficiency across back-office works

and supply chain. The disruption of blockchain in auto

sector is anticipated to increase in the future.

 Human- Machine Interface:

As self-driving cars and connected cars transform the

automotive landscape, it will fundamentally change

how drivers interact with vehicles. Human-machine

interfaces (HMI) use


voice-based or haptic feedback to operate vehicles.

These expand the scope of how and what aspects of a

car that users control.

Consequently, such interfaces make the driving

experience safer and more enjoyable. Another form of

HMI includes smart virtual assistants who help drivers

and riders interact with the vehicles and other service

providers.

 Micro-Mobility:
Micro-mobility is emerging as an alternative travel

solution for short distances which involves

lightweight, low-speed vehicles that can be shared or

privately-owned, and are pushed, pedaled or


electrically powered. It offers innovative and quick

solutions
to resolve issues such as parking and traffic

congestion. Many cities are creating cycle lanes and

car-free zones to help ease overcrowding on shared

and public transport for encouraging the use of

private micro-mobility vehicles.

 Internet of Things (IoT):


In the automotive industry, IoT enables secure

communication between vehicles as well as vehicles

and infrastructure components. The technology

improves road safety, solves traffic congestion, and

reduces pollution and energy expenditure with better

fleet management. Startups and emerging companies

develop advanced sensing technologies to gather

more data about the vehicle as well as allow the

vehicle to understand its surroundings. The

technology also automates payments for fuel and


tolls.
 3D printing, a new generation
manufacturing:

With the increasing demands witnessed by auto sector

for new vehicles and spare products, the industrialists

and end users always aspire for newer, better

performing vehicles and need to optimize production

and streamline supply chains and logistics. 3D

technology is helping to meet all these requirements

and challenges. It has been explored across all the

areas of automotive production. Apart from its usage

for rapid prototyping, it is also being used to produce

tooling and end parts.


ORGANISATION AND
WORFORCE
OF THE FUTURE

▪ The Future of Auto Companies: Teamwork Makes


the

Dream Machine

Car companies are teaming up like never before!

Instead of siloed departments, imagine engineers, tech

whizzes, and data gurus working side-by-side. This

dream team approach will fuel the next generation of

electric cars and self-driving wonders.

2016-26), the Indian automotive industry is poised to

become one of the largest job-creating engines in the

country, with the creation of approximately 65 million

jobs in the next decade. This should contribute

significantly to the country’s growth, provided the

sector is able to address and resolve the twin

challenges of low employer attractiveness and the gap


in supply of a skilled workforce to meet the

requirements of future jobs. Moreover, what needs to

be borne in mind is that there are many changes


that are unforeseen and unknown today. Going forward,

automotive organizations will need to successfully

manage the following seven key shifts to thrive in the

new world order in the automotive industry.
