  • Luxury Brand Positioning: History of an Idea with Mercedes-Benz
    International Journal of Scientific Research and Review ISSN NO: 2279-543X Luxury Brand Positioning: History of an Idea with Mercedes-Benz Rajan Dhanda Research scholar, Department of Management Studies, M D S University Ajmer (Raj.) Dr. Ashish Pareek Associate Professor Department of Management Studies, M D S University Ajmer (Raj.) Abstract Luxury vehicles are high-end vehicles offering more comfort and safety than traditional vehicles. These vehicles offer higher performance and better handling than their traditional counterparts. Luxury vehicles are also considered as a status symbol for conspicuous consumption. When DaimlerChrysler entered India in February 1994 to set up Mercedes-Benz India Ltd, it was one of the first premium car manufacturers to drive on Indian roads. Seventeen years later, a range of international luxury car brands — from the sporty Porsche and regal Rolls-Royce to BMW and Jaguar— are fighting for space in the garages of India's rich and famous. In study we come to know the secret of maintaining leadership position in luxury car manufacturers. We come to know the Mercedes-Benz Market positioning strategies and brand positions being adopted by the Luxury car manufacturers. In study we explore brand positioning in regard to the current scenario for luxury car marketers for example-electric mobility. Key words: Mercedes-Benz, Luxury, Brand, Positioning, electric. Introduction Mercedes-Benz India Pvt Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of the German Daimler AG founded in 1994, with headquarters in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Daimler entered the Indian market and established Mercedes-Benz India Ltd in 1994. Mercedes-Benz India is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Daimler AG.

  • Use of Disc Brake in E-Car: a Review
    IJSTE - International Journal of Science Technology & Engineering | Volume 3 | Issue 05 | November 2016 ISSN (online): 2349-784X Use of Disc Brake in E-Car: A Review Patel Sahil D. Gosai Dipak C. PG Student Associate Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering SVMIT, Bharuch SVMIT, Bharuch Shah Amit V. Assistant Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering SVMIT, Bharuch Abstract There are many problems that the conventional petroleum vehicle poses such as dependency on foreign oil, degradation of air quality and carbon emissions that perpetuate climate change. India imports large amount of oil for automotive use. Nearly 80% of India’s crude oil requirement is imported. So, there is the need for alternative fuelled vehicles to reduce the problems of exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines and to reduce the dependency on imported foreign crude oil. An electric car is an alternative-design automobile that uses an electric motor to power the car, with the electricity being provided by a battery. It produces zero emission and it has noiseless operation. The overall impact of the electric car ultimately benefits the people. Compared to gasoline powered vehicles, electric vehicles are considered to be ninety-seven percent cleaner, producing no tailpipe emissions that can place particulate matter into the air. According to the survey of today’s scenario, there is a big need of small, light weight and more efficient electric car with better safety to overcome from traffic problem, and to increase the overall efficiency. I think it is time to consider it necessary to produce varied types of electric cars.
