Auto Parts : Selective Information

Dear friends, have you know the important auto parts or list of auto parts of your most beloved vehicle? I know this question is little bit tricky to answer. In fact, over 3 million people exchange more than 50 miles every day to work? Even if you are not one of them, take a look at this article concerning personal transportation before you go another mile.

Auto Parts
As the number of automobiles goes forward to flourish globally, the growth of the auto parts industry has also been exponential. Auto parts can be broadly divided into two categories - Original Auto Parts and Duplicate Auto Parts. One should usually use original auto parts, as they are more authentic, capable of withstanding wear and tear and decay and fail-safe.

Unbranded, locally manufactured or duplicate auto parts could prove to be a safety hazard. Most of the automobile companies provide the original parts for their products if they need to be replaced. Some auto parts are covered by warranties; some are not.

Auto Parts
There are many online auto parts showrooms, shops, online stores and your neighborhood mechanic-all of them are capable of providing various types of auto parts. There are certain auto parts which have a very short life; the others have comparatively long life. Certain auto parts are difficult to find, as they are used in those models whose production was discontinued by companies. Generally, even after discontinuing production of a particular model, the car manufacturers try to ensure that auto parts are available for them, at least for the next few years. So go for geniune and original auto spare parts forever.

What is "Bharat IV Emission Norms"?

Many times we have read in news paper that some of the vehicles are going to be outdated due to not qualify with Bharat IV Emission Norms. What does it means actually?

Emissions standards are requirements that set specific limits to the amount of pollutants that can be released into the environment. Many emissions standards focus on regulating pollutants released by automobiles (motor cars) and other powered vehicles but they can also regulate emissions from industry, power plants, small equipment such as lawn mowers and diesel generators. Frequent policy alternatives to emissions standards are technology standards (which mandate the use of a specific technology) and emission trading.

Standards generally regulate the emissions of NOx, sulfur oxides, particulate matter (PM) or soot, carbon monoxide (CO), or volatile hydrocarbons.

The first Indian emission regulations were idle emission limits which became effective in 1989. These idle emission regulations were soon replaced by mass emission limits for both petrol (1991) and diesel (1992) vehicles, which were gradually tightened during the 1990’s. Since the year 2000, India started adopting European emission and fuel regulations for four-wheeled light-duty and for heavy-dc. Indian own emission regulations still apply to two- and three-wheeled vehicles.

Current requirement is that all transport vehicles carry a fitness certificate that is renewed each year after the first two years of new vehicle registration.

On October 6, 2003, the National Auto Fuel Policy has been announced, which envisages a phased program for introducing Euro 2 - 4 emission and fuel regulations by 2010. The implementation schedule of EU emission standards in India is summarized in below table (Click to Enlarge).

The above standards apply to all new 4-wheel vehicles sold and registered in the respective regions. In addition, the National Auto Fuel Policy introduces certain emission requirements for interstate buses with routes originating or terminating in Delhi or the other 10 cities.

For 2-and 3-wheelers, Bharat Stage II (Euro 2) will be applicable from April 1, 2005 and Stage III (Euro 3) standards would come in force preferably from April 1, 2008, but not later than April 1, 2010.
