 ALL ABOUT CAR
History of Car :
With the invention of the wheel in 4000 BC, man’s journey on the road of
mechanized transport had begum. Since then he continually sought to devise an
automated labor saving machine to replace the horse.

Innumerable attempts reached conclusion in the early 1760 s with the building
of the first steam driven tractor by a French captain, Nicolas Jacob cugnot.
It was however left to Karl Benz and Gottlieb Damlier to produce the first
vehicles powered by the internal combustion engine in 1885. It was then that
the petrol engine was introduced, which made the car a practical and safe
proposition. The cars in this period were more like the cars on our roads today
with cars came the era of speed.

The first ever land- speed record was established about a 100 years back, in
1898. Count Gaston de chasseloup – Laubat of France drove on electric car (in
Acheres near Paris) at a speed of 39.24 miles per hour. This flagged off the era
of “Wheels racing”, which lasted till 1964, after which jet and rocket –
propelled vehicles were allowed.
The birth of the car as we know it today accurred over a period of years. It was
only in 1885 that the first real car rolled down on to the streets. The earlier
attempts, though successful, were steam powered road- vehicles.

ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 8
Vintage car
The first self – propelled car has built by Nicolas Cugnot in 1769 which could
attain speeds of up to 6 kms/ hour. In 1771 he again designed another steam
driver engine which ran so fast that it rammed into a wall, recording the
world’s first accident.
In 1807 Francois Isaac de Rivaz designed the first internal combustion engine.
This was subsequently used by him to develop the world’s first vehicle to run
on such an engine, one that used a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen to generate
energy.

What was the first Car?

A quick History of the automobile for young people several Italians recorded
designs for wind driven vehicles . The first was Guido da vigevano in 1335. It
was a windmill type drive to gears and thus to wheels. Vaturio designed a
similar vehicle which was also never built. Later Lenardo da vinci designed a
clock work driven tricycle with tiller steering and a differential mechanism
between the rear wheels.

A catholic priest named father ferdunand Verbiest has been said to have built a
steam powered vehicle for the chiness Emperor chien Lung in about 1678.
There is no information about the vehicle, only the event, since Thomas
Newcomen didn’t build his first steam engine until 1712 we can guess that this
was possibly a model vehicle powered byb a mechanisum like Hero’s steem
engine, a spinning wheel with jets on the periphery. Newcomen’s engine had a
cylinder and a piston and was the first of this kind, and it used steam as a
condensing agent to form a vacuum and with an overhead walking beam, pull

ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 9
on a rood to lift water. It was an enormous thing and was strictly stationary.
The steam was not under pressure, just an open boiler piped to the cylinder. It
used the same vacuum principle that Thomas savery had patented to lift water
directly with the vascuum, which would have limited his pump to less than 32
feet of lift. Newcommen’s lift would have only been limited by the length of
the rod and the strength of the valve at the bottom. Somehow newcommen was
not able to separate his invention from that of survey and had to pay for
survey’s right. In 1765 james watt developed the first pressurized steam engine
which proves to be much more efficient and compacr5 that the Newcomen
engine.

MAJOR FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND
CONCLUSION

ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 61
FINDINGS
To analyze the attitude of the end users is an important aspects to know the
market exactly. Today’s competitive world is so dynamic and customer
oriented. It is totally imperative for the markets to know and understand the
tastes, needs, preferences, attitudes buying behavior the customer to have a
maximum hold on them and build rand loyalty.
“ Customer is our goal, he is not depending on them”, Hence it is at most
necessary to have a look and to understand this important aspects of customers
and to would their product in such a way so has to satisfy is needs to fullest
extent by using appropriate strategies. In my studies a sample size of 50 end
users / customers is considered.

ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 62
SUGGESTIONS
 As 49% of the respondents have dissatisfied with mileage there fore the
company should work on improving the mileage.
 47% of the respondents have complained that bonnet of the car is very tall
[Aero dynamic], thus the company should reduce the shape of bonnet.
 As 36% of the respondents have disagreed that Tata zest car is fit for rough
roads. So the ground clearance of the vehicle should be increased to suit the
Indian roads.
 Should brand awareness campaigns should be conduct the firm should work
on it’s advertisement through local medias.
 The firm should tap the un- tapped locations and market. This will help
them in increasing the business rural places are advised.
 Mobile test drive centres can be set up through out Shimoga city.
 There should be effective customer follow up for the who come for test
drive.

ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 63
CONCLUSION
Less than the anticipated growth in the face of intensifying competition and
rising costs can hardly be expected to get the company foaming.

Tata motors is a well known automobile manufacturing company in the Indian

scenario and it is the leader with monopoly position diesel version cars and
with those achievements they have entered into petrol version cars with Tata
zest car.

By seeing the observations most of the customers are having positive

perception towards Tata zest car and are satisfied with its features such as child
safety locks on rear door, light intensity control etc. As Tata motors is well
known for its diesel cars. So this car is also progressing continuously in petrol
version car companies.
