Ford EcoSport facelift Launching later this year

2021-07-06T07:53:00.005-07:00

Ford India has commenced road-testing of another update to its EcoSport compact SUV. The refreshed EcoSport will most likely see a price announcement later this year. We bring you the expected updates.

Another styling update for EcoSport to come later this year
Will get spruced up interiors and more features as well
No mechanical changes are expected

Ford EcoSport facelift: What to expect?

Fresh spy images suggest the EcoSport will get a major rework to its nose. While the test-mule seen in these spy pictures is still heavily covered, what it clearly shows is that the front bumper and grille will get styling updates. The updated Ford EcoSport's front bumper now somewhat mimic the one that is available on the larger Territory crossover sold overseas. It gets triangular fog lamp housings that will continue to come with round fog lamps but will have angular LED daytime running lamps surrounding these units. These LED lamps will also serve as turn indicators. The refreshed EcoSport's grille will get minor styling tweaks too, while the grille shape will be more or less the same, we expect the inserts to be of different design, there could be more than one option, depending on the variant. The headlamps are expected to remain the same however they could get some re-profiling too.

On the inside, we expect Ford to spruce up the SUV's interior with newer textures and more features. There are no mechanical changes expected on the facelifted EcoSport, which means the 1.5-litre petrol and the 1.5-litre diesel engine will continue to solider on. A 1.2-litre turbo-petrol from Mahindra was on the cards however those plans are now shelved thanks to the fall out between Ford and Mahindra's strategic partnership earlier this year.

The EcoSport has been around since 2013 and has received a long list of features, equipment, styling and mechanical updates every now and then to stay competitive in the ever-growing compact SUV market in India. While the SUV is almost a decade old, it still remains one of the important products for the Ford brand globally, and more so in India which is one of the mother plants for the EcoSport. The made-in-India EcoSport is being exported to multiple markets including North America. Ford recently began exporting the EcoSport to Argentina as well where the model seems to continue to be in high demand.

The refreshed EcoSport that we see in these spy shots could make it to Ford showrooms sometime later this year and will also be exported to other markets.

Key rivals to the EcoSport will include the recently updated Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Kia Sonet, Nissan Kicks and the Renault Kiger.

New Mahindra Bolero Neo launching soon

2021-07-06T07:51:00.004-07:00

The Mahindra Bolero line-up will soon see the addition of the Bolero Neo SUV, which is expected to see a market launch soon. The Bolero Neo will be based on the TUV300 and will get multiple updates inside out.

Mahindra Bolero Neo expected to come with two body styles
Will be positioned above the standard Bolero

2021 Mahindra Bolero Neo: design and styling

Sources tell us that Mahindra will equip the Bolero Neo with an altered front end (compared to the current TUV300), with slightly re-profiled headlights, an updated grille, new front bumper, and even LED DRLs. The Bolero Neo is also expected to receive some classic Bolero design cues such as the clam-shell bonnet, squared-off and marginally flared wheel arches and a thick trim piece that will run along the fenders. The side and rear looks aren’t expected get any major changes, apart from some minor trim alterations.

2021 Mahindra Bolero Neo: engine and gearbox details

Under the hood, the Bolero Neo is expected to feature the same 1.5-litre, three-cylinder diesel engine as in the TUV300, though upgraded to meet BS6 norms. It is likely to develop 100hp and 240Nm, with the gearbox option being a 5-speed manual. The Bolero Neo may also get the fuel-saving, engine start-stop feature, as it was on offer with the TUV300.

2021 Mahindra Bolero Neo: expected price

Considering that Mahindra will likely position the Bolero Neo slightly higher than the standard model, expect prices to range between Rs 9-12 lakh (ex-showroom). The Bolero Neo will be aimed at buyers looking for additional performance and comfort over the regular Bolero. Mahindra is hoping the Neo’s ‘Bolero’ nameplate will help increase its appeal to buyers in the compact SUV segment, something the TUV300 never managed.

Mahindra: future plans

The Indian carmaker is planning to launch 12 new models (including the Bolero Neo) over the next 5 years in our market. The upcoming models include the new XUV700, the next-gen, 5-seater XUV500, the XUV900 SUV-coupe, a five-door version of the Thar, the replacements for the Marazzo and the KUV100 and an all-new Bolero, to name a few. Going forward, Mahindra will also be increasing its focus on electric cars.

Skoda Kushaq bags over 2,000 orders

2021-07-06T07:27:00.006-07:00

In just a week since its launch (June 28), the Skoda Kushaq has received over 2,000 bookings, according to our sources. The 1.0 TSI AT Ambition is proving to be the most popular variant, garnering around 40 percent of total 1.0 TSI orders. Keen pricing and good value is drawing customers to the 1.0 TSI according to dealers who are quite happy with the response.

The ‘Carbon-Steel’ colour is the most preferred by buyers, followed by white and orange. According to some dealers, all versions have received adequate interest, including the 1.5 TSI, whose test drives are yet to begin. As reported by us earlier, deliveries for the Kushaq 1.5 TSI will start a little later. Most dealers say that around 25 percent of orders are for the larger engine and they expect this share to increase once test drives begin.

Skoda dealers are also giving customers a system generated ETA as soon as the booking is confirmed, with deliveries set to begin by the middle of this month.

How the Skoda ETA system works

Once the customer selects his powertrain, variant and colour by either visiting the dealer or the Skoda website, an estimated delivery date for the next available unit in that configuration is reflected on the system and conveyed to the customer.

The estimate delivery date is derived from various stages, including stocks with dealers, vehicles in transit, the current order backlog and production plans that span the following 12 weeks.

Skoda Kushaq: pricing and competition check

Prices for the Kushaq start at Rs 10.49 lakh for the entry-level 1.0 TSI Active variant. The Kushaq 1.5 TSI is priced from Rs 16.19 lakh for the Style variant and the top-spec automatic costs Rs 17.59 lakh (ex-showroom). Key rivals for the Kushaq include the upcoming Volkswagen Taigun, the Kia Seltos and the Hyundai Creta.

Mars has Earth-like auroras, UAE's Hope probe captures glowing events

Auroras, the shimmering, glowing curtains of colour created by charged protons and electrons emitted from the Sun and interacting with Earth's magnetic field are a common sight in polar regions. However, a similar glow has now been seen somewhere else in our Solar System, just about 300 million kilometers from us on Mars.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Hope Probe, hovering over Mars, has witnessed the rare phenomenon of beacons of light glowing above the atmosphere. The probe observed energetic particles exciting the atmosphere after being funnelled down by a patchy network of magnetic fields that originate from minerals on the surface of Mars.

"The UAE's Hope Probe, the first-ever Arab interplanetary mission, has captured the first global images of Mars’ Discrete Aurora. The high-quality images open up the unprecedented potential for the global science community to investigate solar interactions with Mars," the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates said.

The probe captured three such events, taking three images of atomic oxygen emission at a wavelength of 103.4 nm from the planet using its Ultraviolet Spectrometer instrument on April 22, 23, and May 6. "New and striking observations of the discrete aurora from space have been made in the far and extreme ultraviolet bands that are invisible to the human eye," the UAE Space agency said in a statement.

Auroras on Mars are created when charged particles originating from the Sun's solar wind are funnelled down into Mars' thin atmosphere by a patchy network of magnetic fields. The magnetic fields are set up by huge deposits of magnetised minerals in the planetary crust.

While on Earth, the auroras are witnessed around polar ice caps at the top and bottom of the planet, on Mars things are different. The auroras on the Red Planet are also seen around its equator owing to the magnetic field buried within the crust. While auroras have been previously observed by other probes, the Hope Probe has a unique advantage due to its high-altitude orbit that allows it to take a global view of the night side of Mars.

The probe, which has been orbiting Mars since its arrival in February, had earlier captured Olympus Mons, the tallest volcano in the solar system. The volcano is about two-and-a-half times the height of Mount Everest and built by thousands of highly fluid basaltic lava flows over long periods of time.

The objective of the probe, dubbed 'Amal', is to provide a comprehensive image of the weather dynamics in the Red Planet's atmosphere. The probe is a foundation for a much bigger goal -- building a human settlement on Mars within the next 100 years. The UAE also wants the project to serve as a source of inspiration for Arab youth, in a region too often wracked by sectarian conflicts and economic crises.

Bharat Biotech concluded the final analysis of its Covid-19 vaccine Covaxin and announced the safety and efficacy analysis data from Phase 3 clinical trials on Saturday. As per this, Covaxin has been found to be 77.8 per cent effective against symptomatic Covid-19.

The indigenously developed vaccine demonstrated 93.4 per cent efficacy against severe symptomatic Covid-19 and 63.6 per cent efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2, known as the Delta variant.

Covaxin demonstrated 63.6 per cent efficacy against the Delta variant in Phase 3 clinical trials

Against asymptomatic Covid-19, Covaxin was found to offer 63.6 per cent protection, as per the efficacy data.

The safety analysis demonstrated that adverse events reported post vaccination were similar for Covaxin and the placebo. Twelve per cent of subjects experienced commonly known side effects and less than 0.5 per cent subjects felt serious adverse events.

PHASE 3 CLINICAL TRIALS

Phase 3 clinical trials of Covaxin were conducted at 25 sites across India. It was an event-driven analysis of 130 symptomatic Covid-19 cases, reported at least two weeks after the second dose.

While 24 subjects were observed in the vaccine group, another 106 were administered placebo doses.

According to Bharat Biotech, Covaxin is the first licensed Covid-19 vaccine to report promising efficacy against asymptomatic infections based on qPCR testing. This will help in reducing disease transmission, the company said.

GLOBAL ARENA

In response to the fresh efficacy data, Director General of the Indian Council of Medical Research Dr Balram Bhargava said that Covaxin will "immensely contribute to protect the global community against the deadly SARS-CoV-2 virus" apart from benefiting Indian citizens.

“I am delighted to note that Covaxin, developed by ICMR and Bharat Biotech under an effective public-private partnership, has demonstrated an overall efficacy of 77.8 per cent in India’s largest Covid Phase 3 clinical trial thus far. Our scientists at ICMR and BBIL have worked tirelessly to deliver a truly effective vaccine of the highest international standards. The successful development of Covaxin has consolidated the position of Indian academia and industry in the global arena," Dr Bhargava said.

WHAT NEXT

Bharat Biotech is conducting clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of Covaxin in children between the age of 2 and 18 years. A clinical trial to determine the safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose is also underway.

Several research activities are being carried out to study variants of concern and to assess their suitability for follow-up booster doses, the company said.

In terms of production, Covaxin is being manufactured by Bharat Biotech at four facilities in India. The company aims to reach an annualised capacity of 1 billion doses by the end of this year.

Globally, Covaxin has already received emergency use authorisation in 16 countries including Brazil, India, Philippines, Iran and Mexico. The company is in talks with the World Health Organisation to obtain emergency use listing for its vaccine.

Aeronautics, autonomous systems, data and image processing, system testing, and more are all covered by this software. The endeavour is part of the Space Technology Mission Directorate's Technology Transfer program.

NASA has announced that its computational advancements are now available for free distribution to the general public. Over 800 programmes were originally created to aid with space exploration, according to the software library. Real-world problems can be remedied, according to the American space agency, by making these tools publicly available. Aeronautics, autonomous systems, data and image processing, system testing, and more are all covered by this software. The endeavour is part of the Space Technology Mission Directorate's Technology Transfer program.

NASA has developed a wide range of programming to aid in the exploration of space and the discovery of new discoveries throughout the last several years. It now believes that these programmes may be used to help solve real-world problems like global warming right here on Earth. Through its Technology Transfer programme, NASA makes over 800 programmes available to the public for free. These programmes contain, among other things, tools for calculating the size and power needs of solar power systems, code for analysing solar aircraft designs, and software for computational fluid dynamics.

“The good news is that this technology is freely available to the whole people. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson stated, "The software designed for satellites, astronauts, engineers, and scientists as it is implemented and modified across sectors and enterprises is a monument to the extensive benefit NASA delivers to the United States – and the globe."

The software repository now contains 832 programmes, with more on the way. They are available for download by anyone. The website has a filter that allows you to browse through the applications and find the most relevant. Aeronautics, autonomous systems, business systems and project management, crew and life support, data and image processing, data services processing and handling, design and integration tools, and environmental science are just a few of the genres available.

The Space Technology Mission Directorate oversees this NASA project, which assures that technologies produced by and for NASA are widely available to the public. On July 13, the space agency will organise a webinar to inform the public about how to download the programmes and to allow them to ask questions regarding NASA software.
