ISO/TS 16949- It is an ISO technical specification aimed at the development of a quality management system that provides for
continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the automotive industry supply
chain.

ISO 14001:2004- It specifies requirements for an environmental management system to enable an organization to
develop and implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal requirements and other requirements to
which the organization subscribes, and information about significant environmental aspects. It applies to those
environmental aspects that the organization identifies as those which it can control and those which it can influence. It
does not itself state specific environmental performance criteria.

Bevel gears are gears where the axes of the two shafts intersect and the tooth-bearing faces of the gears themselves are conically
shaped. Bevel gears are most often mounted on shafts that are 90 degrees apart, but can be designed to work at other angles as
well.[1] The pitch surface of bevel gears is a cone. The most familiar kinds of bevel gears have pitch angles of less than 90 degrees
and therefore are cone-shaped. This type of bevel gear is called external because the gear teeth point outward. The pitch surfaces
of meshed external bevel gears are coaxial with the gear shafts; the apexes of the two surfaces are at the point of intersection of the
shaft axes. Bevel gears that have pitch angles of greater than ninety degrees have teeth that point inward and are
called internal bevel gears. Bevel gears that have pitch angles of exactly 90 degrees have teeth that point outward parallel with the
axis and resemble the points on a crown. That's why this type of bevel gear is called a crown gear. Bevel gears are classified in
different types according to geometry:

 Straight bevel gears have conical pitch surface and teeth are straight and tapering towards apex.
 Spiral bevel gears have curved teeth at an angle allowing tooth contact to be gradual and smooth.
 Zerol bevel gears are very similar to a bevel gear only exception is the teeth are curved: the ends of each tooth are coplanar
with the axis, but the middle of each tooth is swept circumferentially around the gear. Zerol bevel gears can be thought of as
spiral bevel gears, which also have curved teeth, but with a spiral angle of zero, so the ends of the teeth align with the axis.
 Hypoid bevel gears are similar to spiral bevel but the pitch surfaces are hyperbolic and not conical. Pinion can be offset
above, or below,the gear centre, thus allowing larger pinion diameter, and longer life and smoother mesh, with additional ratios
e.g., 6:1, 8:1, 10:1. In a limiting case of making the "bevel" surface parallel with the axis of rotation, this configuration
resembles a worm drive. Hypoid gears were widely used in automobile rear axles.
eAxle- is an all-in-one electrical powertrain. Its components — electric motor, power electronics, and transmission —
are combined in a single compact system. That reduces the number of parts, saves space, and makes the powertrain
unit less complex — all of which enhances efficiency and cuts cost. The eAxle's construction is variable: with a
scalable power output between 50 and 300 kilowatts, it can be installed in small passenger cars, SUVs or even light
commercial vehicles.

Sona Group to supply e-products for electric vehicles in India; tests e-axles for light commercial vehicles-
The component maker is already supplying forged components for the motor of an electric vehicle
manufacturer in Europe. The company forges the motor parts, instead of adopting the traditional cutting
procedure and has designed a copper ring for it as well. When you forge, you are maintaining a better
grain flow, strength is better and it leads to a lighter product with more torque per gram. Cutting, on the
other hand, is more expensive and delivers lower strength. the torque for electric vehicles is more than for
internal combustion engines that are a function of its speed and power.
Differential- is a gear train with three shafts that has the property that the rotational speed of one shaft is the average
of the speeds of the others, or a fixed multiple of that average. In automobiles and other wheeled vehicles, the differential
allows the outer drive wheel to rotate faster than the inner drive wheel during a turn. This is necessary when the vehicle turns,
making the wheel that is travelling around the outside of the turning curve roll farther and faster than the other. The average of the
rotational speed of the two driving wheels equals the input rotational speed of the drive shaft. An increase in the speed of one wheel
is balanced by a decrease in the speed of the other.
