Modified Toyota Hilux With Land Cruiser 300 Body Kit Is Dividing Internet: Video
The video shared by Autodaddy on its Instagram page shows that the car modifier has tweaked the Toyota Hilux pickup with an LC3000 body kit. The modified pickup carries the form of the Land Cruiser 300, and the rear section is joined by Hilux's cargo bed. While there have been many changes in the profile, the integration of the LC300 kit into the Hilux has given it a completely new profile. Also, it gives an enhanced road presence to the pickup.

Since this is a cosmetic modification of the Hilux with an LC300 body kit, the mechanical aspects remain the same as those of the pickup truck. The Toyota Hilux is powered by a 2.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine. It still delivers 201 hp and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and transfers power to all four wheels via a permanent 4x4 system. The off-roading capabilities of the vehicle are aided by an electronic differential lock, an automatic limited slip differential, hill assist control, and downhill assist control, and its water-wading capability of 700 mm.

Currently, the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 is available at a starting price of Rs 2.31 crore. The Toyota Hilux's price begins from Rs 30.40 lakh (ex-showroom).

After the 90-degree flyover, now 'snake-like' bridge under scrutiny in Bhopal
Weeks after Bhopal's Aishbagh bridge drew sharp criticism for its sharp 90-degree turn, another bridge has come under scrutiny for its 'snake-like' structure and poorly placed dividers. Two accidents were reported within just eight hours on the Subhash Nagar Railway Over Bridge (ROB), raising serious concerns about its design and at a cost of Rs 40 crore and operational for two years, the Subhash Nagar ROB was envisioned as a key link between Maida Mill and Prabhat Petrol Pump, and an important route for commuters heading to Bhopal Railway Station. While it has eased traffic congestion in the area, recent incidents have exposed potentially dangerous flaws in its both the accidents, vehicles lost control while negotiating the bridge's sharp turns. In one case, a car collided with a road divider and flipped in the air. In another, a school van sustained damage after hitting the same divider. While no lives have been lost in these incidents so far, the risk remains high. These recurring accidents highlight the urgent need for the government and civic authorities to reassess the design and implement corrective measures before a serious tragedy FLAWS IN THE BRIDGE Subhash Nagar Railway Over Bridge Serpentine structure: The bridge has a snake-like layout, requiring drivers to make four sharp turnsโright, left, right, and then leftโwithin just a few seconds. This rapid sequence of turns leaves little room for error or timely positioned divider: One of the most dangerous elements is the divider placed immediately after a turn while descending toward Maida Mill. Its sudden appearance has led to accidents, especially for drivers travelling at high speed or at divider height: The divider's height is insufficient, making it difficult to spot, particularly under low-light signal issues: Vehicles approaching from the Board Office towards Prabhat Petrol Pump must cross traffic from Jinsi Chowk. However, the traffic signal at this junction is unreliable, frequently malfunctioning and increasing the likelihood of engineer and bridge expert Prakhar Pagaria expressed serious concern over the design, stating that serpentine bridges are inherently risky. 'Such shapes should be avoided unless space constraints leave no alternative,' he said.'Even then, they require careful oversight. If angles and elements like dividers are not meticulously planned, the result can be dangerousโespecially for night-time drivers.' He added that having four quick turns without adequate response time is particularly unsafe.- Ends

Six private firms compete for NMC's โpay-and-park' project
Nashik: Six private agencies have shown interest in Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC)'s 'pay-and-park' project, which is likely to be implemented at 28 locations across the city by Aug-end. The project involves 22 on-street and six off-street parking spaces. NMC's public works department hosted a pre-bid meeting for the project, attracting private firm representatives from Mumbai, Pune and other cities. During the meeting, civic officials provided detailed project information and addressed queries from interested firms. Civic officials said the private firms requested a reduction in the royalty amount that the appointed agency must pay to the civic body. "We have quoted a royalty amount of Rs 35 lakh per month for the agency operating and managing the 28 on-street and off-street parking spaces. We have, however, clarified that there would be no reduction in the royalty amount," an NMC official said. The civic body has issued a request for proposal (RFP) to deploy a private agency to manage, maintain and operate the 28 parking spaces in the city. The deadline for submitting proposals is July 10. Nearly eight years after the failure of the Smart City Corporation, NMC decided to implement pay-and-park across many city locations. In the first phase, pay-and-park will commence at 28 sites, with the number of parking spaces to be increased in subsequent phases. NMC has finalised the parking charges for on-street and off-street pay-and-park spaces. For two-wheelers, charges are Rs 10 for first two hours, Rs 20 for two to six hours, Rs 40 for six to twelve hours and Rs 60 for 12-24 hours. For three-wheelers and four-wheelers, charges are Rs 20 for the first two hours, Rs 40 for two to six hours, Rs 60 for six to twelve hours, and Rs 100 for 12-24 hours.

Automated parking system gets mixed response in Pune
Pune: Space limitations in major cities are driving a gradual shift towards elevated and high-rise car parking solutions. Modern technology now offers several advanced options beyond the traditional elevated parking commonly found in residential complexes. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Project requirements dictate the choice of design, with options including the chess set pattern, aisle pattern, and rotary pattern, among others. While most people still prefer conventional ground-level parking, the severe space constraints in cities like Mumbai necessitate high-rise car parks that can extend up to 70 meters in height. In contrast, homebuyers in the Pune area show mixed preferences when it comes to these more intricate car parking designs. "Consumers are quickly getting used to modern parking systems, which now even come with AI. These systems can tell you exactly how many parking spots are open, cutting down on the time you spend driving around looking for one. Developers, too, are finding it impossible to meet parking requirements with just traditional stilt and basement parking, so they have to go with mechanized systems," Manish Jain, president of Credai Pune Metro, said. A developer based in Pimpri Chinchwad said, "While complicated parking designs are still rare, they are starting to appear in redevelopment projects where the plot sizes are very small. However, in areas like Pimpri Chinchwad, we have even seen some buyers cancel their bookings if a project features elevated parking." Milind Padole, founder of Pune-based Affordable Robotics and Automation Pvt Ltd (ARAPL), said Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru are major markets. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "High-rise parking systems are one of the verticals of the company that is involved in providing robotics and automation solutions to car manufacturers and e-commerce companies. It has a 30% share in the automated parking space in Mumbai," he said. "There is no space in cities like Mumbai. Everything is redevelopment. In the case of high-rise parking, we can fit around 60 to 70 cars in the space of three cars. The automated parking consumes around one unit of electricity when used once. In localities like Walkeshwar in Mumbai, where there is no space at all, but the buyers are ready, we can install chess-type parking, which can cost up to Rs 11 lakh per spot," he said. The ARAPL has installed some automated parking for public projects in a couple of smart cities like Visakhapatnam and Kerala. However, it is treading lightly in this business as adaptation is happening at a slow pace, either because of preference or lack of funds. "The technology exists, but there is some resistance from the end-customers. At some point, civic administration and developers need to decide if roads are to be used for parking or driving. If roads are meant for driving, then cars should not be parked on the roads," Padole said.
