'This collaboration represents a powerful synergy between Emerson's test and measurement innovation and Tata Technologies' engineering scale,' said Shitendra Bhattacharya, country head and director for Emerson's Test and Measurement business in India.
Together, the companies would be able to deliver end-to-end solutions that help customers reduce complexity and stay ahead in a highly dynamic transportation landscape, he added.
Nachiket Paranjpe, president and head of automotive sales at Tata Technologies said, 'This partnership reinforces our commitment to engineering a software-defined future, helping OEMs innovate faster, and delivering connected, autonomous, and sustainable mobility that delivers a great customer experience.'
Early results underscored the potential of the collaboration to accelerate next-generation mobility, the firms claimed. In a recent pilot engagement with a European luxury OEM, the team developed EV powertrain test rigs in just five months, with preliminary results suggesting a 67% faster timeline compared to typical 15-month builds. In another project with a premium European brand, a fully automated validation setup for a next-generation infotainment head-up display unit was delivered, executing over 30,000 test scenarios and helping to speed up product development, they stated.
Pilot programmes were underway in India, Europe and North America, with both companies planning further customer collaborations and joint solution developments to help customers deliver competitive products, said the communique.

Wizz Air exits Abu Dhabi amid instability and lack of market access
Wizz Air said it was exiting its Abu Dhabi operation to focus on its main eastern European market, after almost two years of turmoil in the Middle East wiped out any chance of making a profit there. Wizz, a low-cost carrier founded in Hungary for eastern European travellers, expanded first into western Europe, before opening a base in Abu Dhabi six years ago, and pinning its hopes for future growth on a major expansion into the Middle East. But it abandoned those plans on Monday, blaming recent geopolitical instability for frequent airspace closures and disruptions, which have hit travel demand, and meaning there was no hope for recovery at the loss-making unit. Wizz CEO József Váradi said returning to Wizz's "bread and butter" of central and eastern Europe, where it competes with Europe's biggest airline Ryanair, would boost profits. "We have been underinvesting in this market over the last few years. Now we can go back to the full spirit of continuously exploiting the market," he told Reuters. "These are the markets that we know work." Shares in the London-listed airline rose 2.6 per cent in mid-morning trade. The stock is down about 62 per cent over the last two years, hit by issues with Pratt & Whitney GTF engines which led to the grounding of some aircraft. Wizz has 280 aircraft on order from Airbus over the next five years, and Váradi said most of these would be deployed in central and eastern Europe, which accounts for about two-thirds of the airline's business, while Britain, Italy and Austria are just under 30 per cent, and Abu Dhabi had been about 5 per cent. He said there would be sufficient travel demand to sustain that size of fleet, whether Ukraine fully opens as a market once more, or not. "I think it would be great to have Ukraine," he said. Even before the heightened tensions in the region, Váradi said Wizz's low-cost model was struggling to work in Abu Dhabi because engines degrade faster in the hot, harsh environment, making its operations there less efficient. Secondly, Wizz had not been granted the market access it had been promised to India and Pakistan when it first decided to open Abu Dhabi, limiting the growth potential. Wizz, which had operated a joint venture with Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding company (ADQ), said it will stop local flights from there in September.

fischer Offers Professional Sprinkler Installation for Sprinkler Systems
fischer offers sprinkler loop hangers, pipe clamps, beam clamps and fastening elements approved by Germany's Property Insurer Associations FM and VdS, certifying their suitability for safe application in sprinkler systems. Plugs and anchors suitable for sprinkler systems feature CE marking based on the relevant ETA. fischer sprinkler system installation Sprinkler systems are an important component of fire protection systems, the requirements of which go beyond building regulations in some cases. They are highly effective in extinguishing and making people aware of fire hazards. As a result, they are fitted as standard in many buildings. Mr. Mayank Kalra, Managing Director of fischer India, emphasizes the company's unwavering commitment to delivering robust, certified solutions that meet global standards like FM and VdS. 'Sprinkler systems are a critical aspect of modern fire protection solutions, ensuring safety and compliance beyond standard building regulations. fischer continues to set industry benchmarks by prioritizing safety, quality, and compliance. Through reliable and globally certified solutions, the company remains dedicated to safeguarding lives and infrastructure across diverse built environments.' Sprinkler systems are an important component of fire protection systems, the requirements of which go beyond building regulations in some cases. They are highly effective in extinguishing and making people aware of fire hazards. As a result, they are fitted as standard in many buildings. Applicable guidelines include the European VdS standard (VdS CEA 4001) and the almost identical EN 12845 (European standard), the American FM standard 1951 (Factory Mutual Insurance Company, FM Global) in addition to the UL standard (Underwriters Laboratories, UL) based on the NFPA 13 (National Fire Protection Association, NFPA). The American standards can complement one another as well as the European standards and guidelines in terms of the requirements when fastening conduits, although there are some differences to be considered when looking at the details. Depending on the guideline, different load specifications apply to pipe supports for sprinkler conduits as a test load or minimum load-bearing capacity or in terms of fastening distances and connection thread sizes when using steel pipes. These regulations cover pipe clamps and loops in addition to all other fastening elements, such as plugs, anchors, beam clamps and trapezoidal sheet hangers. Pipe clamps and loops must be approved and listed under the FM and UL standards. VdS and EN 12845 specify aspects such as minimum material thickness and width requirements that must be met in addition to the specified loads. The fixing specialist fischer offers sprinkler loop hangers (FRLH/FRSP/FCHS), riser clamps (RCWR), U-bolts (ETR), threaded rods/threaded pins (G/GS), beam clamps (TKLS/TKL) and profile hangers (TZ/TZH) that meet these requirements. The KDS toggle plug allows conduits and other components to be easily mounted on the trapezoidal metal sheet in stationary sprinkler systems in a compliant and convenient manner. The height-adjustable threaded rod, which is secured to prevent it from accidentally loosening, allows the components to be practically aligned on trapezoidal metal sheets. Various lengths of the KDS toggle plug cover different applications. Other new additions to fischer's range include the corrosion-resistant TKLG swivel beam clamp, which was designed to safely and easily fasten sprinkler pipes to inclined steel supports thanks to its technical ingenuities. FRLH is a premium sprinkler loop hanger which allows approved sprinkler systems to be installed in buildings with height adjustment and is highly corrosion resistant. FRSMN, a two-screw galvanised heavy-duty pipe clamp without a sound insulation insert, is approved for sprinkler systems and comes equipped with a double connection nut and from DN 300 with an M16 connection nut. The connection nuts are pushed through or welded all round and provide pipe fastenings with a higher bending strength. The version with two screws enables optimised adaptation to the outer diameter of the pipe, which means that pipes with an outer diameter of 15 – 521 mm can be securely fastened with threaded pipes indoors. Another new addition to the range is the ETR-L, fischer's U-bolt with a longer metric thread that offers even more flexibility on top of the ETR when fastening various pipe systems in buildings. The version with two screws enables optimised adaptation to the outer diameter of the pipe. The U-bolt is fastened to steel profiles or consoles. The fischer FETR-C channel connector allows the fischer ETR/ETR-L to be connected to the FUS channel system with ease. It can be freely positioned on all FUS channels, regardless of their hole pattern. fischer's range of products suitable for sprinkler systems includes plugs and anchors deemed suitable for sprinklers as per the VdS and FM standards and features a CE marking based on the relevant ETA. fischer's fixing solutions for sprinklers cover a vast range of applications. Pipe supports can be carried out in concrete (single and multiple fastenings), aerated concrete, trapezoidal metal sheets and in steel construction with suitable all-in-one systems. fischer Building Materials India Private Limited Ward No. 76, Unit 101, First Level, No. 3 (Old 4 Prestige Sigma, Vittal Mallya Rd, Richmond Town, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560001

Kia Carens Clavis EV to launch tomorrow. Here's what we know so far
Kia Carens Clavis EV to launch in India on July 15 as an all-electric avatar of the ICE-powered Carens Clavis MPV. Notify me The Kia Carens Clavis EV, which goes on sale tomorrow, i.e July 15, 2025, will be Kia India's foray into mass market passenger electric vehicle segment. Furthermore, the upcoming model will be the first 7 seater electric MPV in its segment, being a strategic move to Kia's expanding EV lineup in India. With space, convenience, and electric efficiency, the Carens Clavis EV is aimed to entice city families seeking a green alternative without sacrificing on versatility. Here is an in-depth look at what it might offer. Kia Carens Clavis EV: Design The Clavis EV stays true to the overall silhouette of the standard Carens MPV, but introduces subtle design tweaks that reflect its electric heart. Up front, the most notable change is a closed-off front grille that houses the charging port, lending it a clean and tech-forward appearance. The rear end is expected to carry over the connected LED light bar, maintaining continuity with its ICE sibling. Also Read : Kia Carens Clavis launched at ₹ 11.49 lakh Other EV-specific elements include aerodynamic alloy wheels and redesigned bumpers for improved efficiency and distinction. While the overall body shape remains MPV-friendly, these changes help the Clavis EV visually separate itself from the petrol and diesel variants. Kia Carens Clavis EV: Expected features Kia will most likely load the Clavis EV with a long array of comfort and safety features. Inside, highlights include dual 12.3-inch connected displays, a two-spoke steering wheel, and a dual-tone black-and-white interior styling theme. The cabin itself is comparable to the ICE variant, but will feature EV-specific interface graphics and a new lower console with additional storage. In terms of convenience, the Kia Carens Clavis EV should include comfort and convenience features, such as a powered and ventilated driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear AC vents, wireless phone charging for both the front and rear passengers, a panoramic sunroof to provide an open feel in the cabin, and an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror (IRVM) to limit glare during night-time drives. On the part of safety, the Clavis EV should offer six airbags, a 360-degree camera with blind-spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors and a tyre pressure monitoring system. It should also offer Level-2 ADAS features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, driver attention alert and autonomous emergency braking which would further reinforce its place as a tech-laden family EV. Also Read : Kia India appoints Atul Sood as senior vice president of sales and marketing Kia Carens Clavis EV: Expected specifications Under the bonnet, or technically under the floor, the Carens Clavis EV is likely to be equipped with a 51.4 kWh battery pack with an estimated range of 490 km (MIDC). A lower 42 kWh version may also be launched in lower variants, delivering a marginally lower but still usable range of about 400 km. While exact motor specs are under wraps, the EV is expected to feature a front-wheel-drive layout, with power outputs likely in the 135–170 PS range. Kia Carens Clavis EV: Expected price Kia is likely to price the Carens Clavis EV from around ₹ 18 lakh (ex-showroom). With no direct competitors in the 7-seater EV MPV segment, it stands alone as a value proposition. However, it will indirectly rival 5-seater electric SUVs like the Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV, Hyundai Creta EV, Mahindra BE 6, and the upcoming Maruti e-Vitara.
