Research & Development and Technologies
Technologies
Enriched by its more than 5 decades of vast
service experience,and as outcome of variety of R&D projects and studies conducted, ARAI has
developed indigenous automotive technologies, products, test rigs, testing solutions; and has
compiled India specific databases that are very inputs for the automotive product development.
Technologies
To further boost technology development and innovation, recently ARAI
has formed a dedicated Technology Group working on futuristic indigenous technologies to enable
safe, sustainable and smart mobility solutions. The present Technology Program is focused around
the 6 areas,namely, Intelligent Vehicle Controls, Energy Management System,Green Mobility,
Intelligent Vehicle Technologies, Battery Management and Light Weighting. Dedicated as well as
Cross Functional Teams are engaged in this technology development program. As required ARAI
collaborates with outside technologists or organization for co-development or building further
on their technologies. ARAI also facilitates technology transfers through public campaign as
well as customized B2B workshops. Given below are some of the technologies that are available
for transfer or application development.
AFS, HCCI, DUAL Fuel, HCNG, Di-CNG, Low Temperature Combustion, Super
Charging of Small Engines, Integrated Safety System, Semi Air Suspension, Electronic Power
Assist System (EPAS), GDIEMS, xEV Simulator, Multimaterial forging,BMS, TPMS, Light Weight Bus
