Mercedes-Benz to Unveil Made-in-India GLC SUV on September 29 Posted by: Team | NewsPatrolling September 28, 2016 in Automobile

German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz is all set to unveil the made-in-India GLC SUV on September 29, 2016. The localized version of Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV aims at catering to the escalating demand for luxury SUVs in India.
The Completely Built Up (CBU) version of GLC SUV was launched by Mercedes-Benz in the month of June this year. On witnessing the phenomenal success of the vehicle in India, the luxury auto manufacturer decided to localize its manufacturing in the country.
This good news will certainly excite car enthusiasts as GLC manufactured in India will be available at a cheaper price compared to the imported version of the vehicle. as per the newspaper reports, the Indian version of GLC SUV will be Rs 1.5 to 2 lakhs cheaper compared to the CBU version which costs between 50.70 to 50.90 lakhs. This significant drop in prices will also help GLC SUV to gain a competitive advantage over its competitors in India, especially—BMW X3 and Audi5.
Both petrol and diesel version of GLC SUV are being manufactured in India at the production plant of Mercedes-Benz located in Chakan, Pune. Currently, eight Mercedes-Benz models are assembled at the plant—the C-class, E-class, S-class, the GLE, the GLS, the GLA and Mercedes-Maybach S500. GLC SUV will be the ninth model in the portfolio of Mercedes-Benz to be locally assembled.
Here are the Specifications of Made-in-India GLC SUV
  • Dimensions—4,656 mm in length, 1,644 mm in height, and 2,096 in width.
  • Has a wheelbase of 2,874 mm.
  • Has a boot space capacity of 550 litres.
  • Has a set of 2-litre petrol and diesel engine. The petrol engine is capable of generating 245 bhp and 370 Nm of peak torque, and the diesel engine generates 170 bhp and 400 Nm of peak torque.
Further details about the interesting features of GLC SUV will be known once the luxury car gets unveiled tomorrow.
However, as observed in other locally-assembled auto models of Mercedes-Benz, the GLC SUV may be launched without certain equipment and features that are offered in the Completely Built Up version; such as— 3-zone air-conditioner, automatic tailgate opening mechanism, memory seats, and standard navigation system.
The imported version of GLC SUV has been awarded a 5-star safety rating by The European New Car Assessment Program. We hope that the locally assembled version of the vehicle will also feature similar safety characteristics.

Diesel-Injectors---How-They-Work?

Diesel Injectors are used for filling diesel fuel into a diesel engine or compression ignition engine. This fuel is directly injected into the engine with the help of Injectors attached to the cylinders of a diesel machine.
This fuel injecting system basically consists of the following parts - Fuel injection apparatus (nozzle and nozzle holder), fuel supply line, Air-intake valve, and diesel engine exhaust valve.
The function of the parts of diesel injectors is as follows:
An apparatus for fuel injection: Each cylinder of a compression ignition engine is connected to a fuel injector and therefore each cylinder has its own diesel supply line which carries the diesel from the diesel tank to the diesel engine. The fuel injector consists of a nozzle and a nozzle holder.
1. Diesel supply line: Each cylinder of a diesel engine has its own diesel supply line which carries the diesel from the diesel tank to the CI engine.
2. An intake valve: The role of an intake valve is to suck air into the combustion chamber. The air blends with the condensed diesel thus strengthening the combustion.
3. Diesel engine exhaust valve: It plays the important role of eliminating the emissions produced by the diesel combustion chamber.
Once the fuel comes in contact with the injectors, it becomes extremely pressurized. This pressure is created by a little pump that the injector is connected to. This little pump enables air to pass through the injector, consequently pressurizing the fuel. The highly pressurized fuel enters and flows down to the body of the nozzle holder and finally into the nozzle passage. A diesel injector has a needle valve that is closely connected to the spring located in the body of the injector. The compression nut stresses the spring to produce spring pressure and injector opening pressure simultaneously.
Once the needle valve opens, the fuel is sprayed by the diesel injector through the tiny nozzle situated in the combustion chamber of an engine cylinder. The cluster of little holes in the nozzle ensures its equal distribution into the combustion chamber of the cylinder. The tiny holes are specially designed and arranged to break the fuel into tiny drops so that they can burn readily.
Next, the air intake valves carry air into the combustion chamber and gets combined with condensed diesel thus intensifying the combustion. Now the fuel engine exhaust valve gets rid of the emissions generated by the fuel combustion chamber. The return diesel line gets rid of the surplus diesel fuel by bringing it back to the fuel tank from the fuel combustion chamber.
This is how a complex diesel injector functions. Diesel injectors are known as the most intricate elements of a diesel engine. It has the ability to endure high pressure and temperature produced inside the cylinder and circulates equal quantity of fuel to the cylinder thereby ensuring smooth functioning of a powerful diesel engine.

Jaisalmer

Alone you stand
Surrounded by silence
Serene, scintillating
Calm and composed...
Your silence fascinates me!
How Mysterious !
How Alluring you are!
You'll always stand out in my memory !


Bejeweled with golden sands
and the starry sky above,
Like a love-lorn lady,
Seems you have been waiting...
for the arrival of your love !


Charismatic & captivating,
You are suavely charming.
In the midst of the sun-kissed sand dunes,
Alone you sing the songs of solitude !
Your silence speaks in volumes to me...
Oh Jaisalmer ! I am earnestly  imbued!

The Undiscovered path

Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Thousand steps have been trodden,
through the known alleys and lanes. 
It's time to discover the new and unknown paths of life. 
With least hopes and zero expectations, 
With a carefree spirit, 
regardless  of losing or winning. 
With Faith as my only weapon, 
it's time to steer the wheel of my life ...
towards a new beginning !
