CAREER TRENDS

       Automobiles have a unique and important position in the development of modern civilization. Modern automobile vehicles are inseparable part of the human life. With advent of technology, role of automobiles is changing and it has become a true vehicle not only as means of transportation but for enhancing the social, commercial and economic aspects of the life of an individual.

         With rapid change in the technologies, Automobile vehicles have also undergone metamorphic changes in their designs, aesthetic aspects, and Ergonomic considerations and most importantly in the fuel economy and alternative fuels considerations.

          Due to computer based advanced technologies; there is a modern trend for using computers / microprocessor based designs of engines such as MPFI, DI and CRDI in automobile engines. Alternatively the use of Mechatronics systems is also being extensively used in the modern automobiles.

         Automobile market in India is growing rapidly and it is maturing at a faster pace, not only in terms of size and variety, but in terms of technological advancement in cars. The Automotive technology is becoming more and more sophisticated with stringent pollution regulations and increased customer awareness.

        India is the 4th largest car market in the world. With over 1.4 million cars added to Indian roads in 2006, the automobile industry provides direct employment to 4, 50,000 + persons and indirect employment to over 10 million people in India.

      In tune with this, there is a growing trend towards use of microprocessor based systems in the modern automobile vehicles, along with advances in the hardware systems. Many leading players like Mercedes, Skoda, Audi, Mitsubishi, Suzuki have introduced their cars with advanced microprocessor based systems in India. Virtually all the critical parameters governing the operation of the engine and automobile are accurately controlled by the microprocessors in the modern cars.
