This document discusses the Indian automotive industry's vision to become a global leader in automobile manufacturing by 2016. It outlines goals for increased GDP contribution, employment, and exports. It also notes the challenges of reducing CO2 emissions from transportation, which accounts for 10% of India's total CO2 emissions. The document examines India's transition from CFC to HFC refrigerants for automotive air conditioning and the need to identify more environmentally friendly refrigerants going forward to meet future regulations. It emphasizes the importance of technology maturity, costs, and global applicability for any proposed solutions.

3. Indian Auto Industry – Vision 2016
“ To emerge as the destination of choice in the
world for design and manufacture of automobiles
and auto components with
1. Target output of $ 145 Bn 2. GDP contribution of 10%
3. Additional Employment generation of 25 Million
What does this mean ? As a result, Indian
Automobile production in
the world would become…

5. Market Challenges

6. The Green House Effect
 In India Transport
contribute to 10% of total
CO2 emissions.
 Reducing the CO2
emissions is the biggest
challenge for all the
stakeholders

7. Air conditioning in Indian market
Changing customer profile & expectations
More of necessity than comfort
Non A/C vehicles may opt for an aftermarket fitment

11. Indian experience of CFC replacement
1. Indian auto OEMs changed from CFC to HFC in 2003
Changeover required lot of design efforts & enhancements
Huge effort on the part of OEMs & Aircon system suppliers
Addition of infrastructure to handle both CFC & HFC in the market
2. Pro-active phase out of ODS like CFCs on August
1, 2008, 17 months prior to the agreed schedule
Withdrawal of CFC & related infrastructure from service industry
Provision of retro fitment kits for the after market

12. The way forward..
The proposed solution should take consideration of:
Reduce total environmental footprint thru’ lifecycle of vehicle
Low impact on weight & Fuel efficiency
Safety of occupants
Global applicability irrespective of the climate of the region
Ease of serviceability / Retro fitment for existing fleet
Cost to OEMs /consumer
