Stakeholders, ACLC gear up efforts to improve bike security
The Anti Car Lifting Cell SSP Mr Asad Raza held a meeting with all local bike assemblers including Japanese and Chinese on July 23, 2018 at ACLC Head Quarter Karachi.
The meeting was called to find ways and means to improve motorcycles security features.
For the last two months the bike snatching and theft have increased manifolds.
According to ACLC, around 50 bikes are lifted or snatched daily in Karachi while market sources said that these those bikes whose FIRs have been registered in the Police stations while actual figure is more than 50 units per day.
The security system of costly bikes such Honda CB150F, all models of YBR 125cc Yamaha and Suzuki GR150cc and GD110S is effective because switch and handle lock are integrated with each other in the handle. This is much safer than manual handle lock.
In the main stand of these costly models the companies have put a hook and hole so that bike owners can hook the bike with chain.
Chairman Association of Pakistan Motorcycle Assemblers (APMA), Mohammad Sabir Sheikh informed the meeting that there is no need for any security system or tracker as it is not feasible in 70cc bikes which hold 80 per cent market share especially in Karachi.
A Japanese bike representative said it is impossible for the company to change the design without permission of Japan based Head Quarter. Design changing will need at least four to five years because Japanese companies make products for many countries and they cannot take decision for one country, he added.
Some participants of the meeting, however, agreed to take up the matter with design engineers. Bike assemblers (Chinese and Japanese) did not agree on this point. Manufacturers said change in design is a big task on which the SSP ACLC also endorsed this point.
Sabir said there is a dire need to check the record of Excise and Taxation as the department had installed computerized system a decade back and prior to that the department was dependent on manual records. In Karachi, huge number of bikes is more than 20 years old. There is also no law for age restriction of two wheelers.
SSP ACLC was of the view that assemblers must fix some extra lock or hooks for fixing extra locks or some electrical devices at manufacturing stage, but majority of assemblers did not agree with the SSP ACLC because the main Japanese producers need to change the design of bikes which looks impractical.
It was decided that a new meeting would be held in future in which more assemblers, who could not attend, would be called upon besides ensuring participation of Excise and Taxation Department, Ministry of Transport Sindh and Home Department so that its legal complication could also be discussed.
Sabir said electric bikes can help resolve the all issues of bike security.
Karachi police’s Anti-Car Lifting Cell (ACLC) in March busted a gang of motorbike snatchers involving employees of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and Pakistan Navy.
The ACLC has busted a gang of criminals involved in motorcycle snatching and theft cases in various areas of Karachi, especially Defence, Tipu Sultan and Shahrae Faisal
The official said 14 motorcycles were recovered from the possession of the arrested suspects — identified as Sohail Murtaza and Younas Jones. “Their accomplice Shahjehan, an official of Pakistan Navy, is still at large, ACLC said.
Sohail Murtaza is a civilian employee of PAF while Shahjehan is part of the administrative staff at a Navy complex.
The arrested suspects would evade security checks after committing crimes by showing their service cards to the police, SSP Raza maintained. They took stolen motorcycles to chop shops for selling parts in other areas, he added.
The ACLC in July claimed to have arrested two bike-lifters in Karachi who are said to be a part of gang comprising many of their family members, all involved in stealing motorcycles.
The ACLC personnel arrested two suspects Sabir Khokhar alias Kala and Mohammed Ashraf Khokhar, said Asad Raza, adding that their gang has stolen around 2,000 vehicles from the metropolis over the last few years.
This gang of bikes-lifters is known as Khokhar group. The arrested suspects belonged to Punjab and had settled in different parts of the metropolis. Initially, their elders were allegedly involved in this criminal activity and later on their children also became involved in it.
Abdul Ghafoor Khokhar and his cousins, all hailing from Jhelum District of Punjab, formed a criminal gang in Karachi 1990s and started committing vehicular theft, SSP Raza said.
Around 25 to 30 members of Khokhar group are involved in bike-lifting. During the last 10 years, this gang has stolen 1,500-2,000 motorbikes, which were subsequently sold in Balochistan via their links with criminal elements in Khuzdar.
These efforts are not enough at a time of rising number of bikes in the city per day. In a big city like Karachi with population of over 20 million — ACLC needs to engage more manpower to thwart the plans of organized and un-organized bike lifters and snatchers.
ACLC has been running print media campaign asking bike owners to install additional locks like tyre locks and hook below the handle for putting the lock.
Always park your bike in allotted parking areas and get authorized parking slip, the campaign says. In case parking is not available try to find parking where CCTV is installed. Avoid parking in deserted and low lights areas. It has been proved that those bikes are safer which have tracker and anti theft switch installed.
It has been observed that many people do not like to park their bikes in parking area to avoid Rs 20 per bike being charged by the local administration. For many Rs 20 holds a lot of importance when earnings are low.
They said an illegal practice is going on as most of the parking fee collectors do not give KMC parking slip.
People said that it is not clear as to where KMC utilizes this parking fee and how much amount is collected on daily basis in Karachi.
Bike owners said sometimes they pay multiple parking fees like one parking fee before purchasing any ready made garments and again pay the fresh fee after a gap of few hours or the next day in case of any alteration in the ready made garments.
They said there should be some time relaxation period between the first parking fee and the second parking at same place to avoid multiple parking fees.
Due to rising number of bikes and limited parking spaces – the KMC has started charging parking in almost every markets and shopping malls where the volume of bikes is soaring. Now the KMC officials are also seen charging parking fees at hospitals which is an additional burden on consumers’ pocket. Again multiple fees are charged if the persons frequently visit their patients.
Sabir said time has come to encourage electric vehicles in the country. The PML-N government has already reduced customs duties on import of CBU electric cars to 25 per cent from 50 per cent while the rate of duty for CKDs is 10 per cent.
The SRO 644(I)/2018 dated May 24, 2018 under PCT Code 8703-8090 relating to duties on electric cars is confusing as the last government has mentioned the word “vehicles” which means all vehicles including two wheelers.
“This confusion now needs to be rectified by the new government or the interim government as number of investors is working on electric vehicle projects,” APMA chief said.
A new trend is coming into Pakistan where young girls and ladies are purchasing bikes to meet daily routine work, he said.
“Electric bikes are ideally suited for the ladies and young girls as all over the world the sale of these bikes are rising,” he said.
In Pakistan conventional or petrol engine two wheelers are now considered as flop as Atlas Honda Limited has been working on only two models (CD70cc and CG-125cc) for decades and all Chinese assemblers have been producing replica models of these two bikes.
Yamaha and Suzuki have tried to bring change by introducing new models and engine technology but higher prices do not lure more buyers.
If the government immediately removes confusion over electric bike SRO relating to the word “vehicles” the bike market will see a big change within a year in terms of models and designs of electric bikes. Commercial vehicles and small cars will throng the markets.
Pakistan’s small car market has also failed in providing any variety to the consumers as locally assembled Suzuki Mehran 800cc rules the market with no competitor.
He said this trend also needs to be changed by replacing Mehran with small electric vehicles.
The imported used 660cc vehicles have changed the dynamics of car markets owing to its rising demand.
Two and four strokes rickshaws are already posing serious threat to the environment of big cities. Electric three wheelers will change the scenario by providing pollution free environment in big cities especially Karachi and Lahore.
With the introduction of small electric vehicles – the heavy vehicle industry may also shift towards electric commercial vehicles.

Industry 4.0 and Predictive Maintenance
How a Local Company is Preparing Pakistani Auto Industry
Energy used for Compressed Air can account for up to 72% of the electricity used in the Auto industry. In order to keep costs in control and stay competitive, Compressed Air merits serious attention.
The new iConn service from CompAir provides compressed air users within-depth and real-time knowledge about their system, essential for accurate production planning, reliability and peace of mind. The iConn system generates and delivers insight and statistics that keeps compressed air managers informed of the performance of their installation, highlighting potential issues before they become a problem
Compressor performance has a key role to play in the overall cost efficiency and productivity of a process or plant. Industry figures estimate that many compressed air systems can waste up to 30% of the compressed air through leaks, poor control or maintenance. Add to this the fact that the older the machine the less energy efficient it is likely to be and it becomes clear that implementing a thorough maintenance programme can pay quick dividends.
Choosing the Correct Program
Typical maintenance cover can range from reactive or breakdown maintenance, where the compressor is left to run until any fault is identified and subsequently repaired, through to predictive maintenance, where sensor devices provide data to help predict when maintenance is required or when a part may be under stress and could fail.
An independent survey indicates that a comprehensive planned maintenance system, whereby maintenance is carried out at scheduled intervals, can result in a 70-75% elimination of breakdowns, a 35-34% reduction in downtime and a productivity increase of up to 25%.
Further improvements can be made with a predictive maintenance programme. By fitting a compressor with a range of sensor devices, which are connected to a remote monitoring system operated by the compressor OEM, the system can monitor the compressor around the clock and can use the data to predict when maintenance is required or when a part may be under stress and could fail.
In comparison to using reaction-based breakdown maintenance, organisations can easily reach savings of up to 30-40% through the use of predictive maintenance.
Next generation Connectivity Platform
iConn is a flexible platform enabling extended data analytics and pattern recognition algorithms leveraging CompAir‘s application know-how.
Maintenance Checklist
As well as choosing the right type of maintenance schedule to suit the operation, plant managers should also ensure that their service provider is incorporating the following checks into its maintenance routines.
Firstly, filter elements should be changed at least once a year to help reduce pressure drops, meaning that the compressor will consume less energy to supply the required air pressure. In addition, poorly filtered intake air can raise the compressor’s internal temperatures which will have the effect of increasing the overall power consumption.
In oil-lubricated machines it is also essential to carry out regular oil changes, with the appropriate grade of oil to ensure machine longevity and reliability.
Regular checks for air leaks should also be carried out. As air is non-hazardous, leaks in the pipework will not affect process safety and can often go undetected. However, any leak in the network means that energy is being wasted, sometimes by as much as 20% – put simply, the compressor has to work harder to produce the required air pressure at the point of use.
A simple leak detection survey can identify any problems quickly, with remedial action undertaken at little cost.
Size Matters
Determining the right size of compressor for an application is an important consideration; especially as the capital cost of buying it is just a small part of the overall equation. What matters most is what it will cost to run the compressor over its whole operational lifetime.
Operating at a higher pressure than is necessary or with a poorly designed, leaky system will use more energy than required and lead to higher running costs.
One of the simplest ways to achieve this is to carry out an air audit that will identify potential and current compressed air demands and assess energy usage.
Where there is an existing compressed air system the site can be monitored over a fixed period of time to gather quantifiable data via a data-logging unit attached on each compressor in the network.
The results enable real time data to be analysed to ensure the selection of the most energy-efficient compressors. This will include the size and mixture of fixed and variable-speed compressors. The audit may also determine if a multiple compressor installation requires better control via a dedicated management control system.
Replacement Parts – A Genuine Concern
Operators should carefully consider their spare parts supply. Choosing non-genuine or third party spares can have a negative impact on compressor efficiency and energy consumption.
Non-genuine spares and lubricants are generally a cheaper alternative to the manufacturer’s original parts and, when cost is an issue, can appear to be a sound investment.
However, as well as a shorter operational life and the associated issues of compressor downtime, the wrong spare part can in some cases, cause real damage to the compressor, ultimately meaning the machine can fail completely. This won’t just result in an expensive repair bill, but will affect productivity with unscheduled machine downtime.
Replacement Is Necessary
Any compressor, whether brand new or one that has been performing well for many years will, in the normal course of operation, require components to be periodically replaced. These can include items such as filters, valves, seals and oil.
Unless a genuine, like-for-like replacement part is used, there can be no guarantee that the original performance will be maintained. Non-genuine parts are not manufactured to the same specification as the manufacturers’ original. By virtue of the fact that they are engineered to cost less, they will typically incorporate inferior components that cannot offer the same levels of energy efficiency or performance reliability.
In contrast, genuine parts have been manufactured to meet the same standards as the compressor they are intended for. This means that they have passed the same stringent manufacturers’ testing regimes, in a quality-controlled environment, to offer the repeatable, dependable operation that plant manager’s need to keep production costs down..

Toyota to sell entire stake in Isuzu
Toyota will dissolve its capital tie-up with Isuzu by selling off its 5.89 percent stake in the latter; carmakers to continue collaborating on projects.
Toyota Motor Corporation will be selling its 5.89 percent in Isuzu Motors in the future, thus dissolving their capital tie-up. However, the two companies will continue their strong relationship through ongoing joint development projects related to basic technologies and will remain open to the possibility of future collaboration.
In November 2006, Isuzu and Toyota signed a basic agreement to utilise each other’s operational resources in the fields of development and production focusing on diesel engines, to provide mutual technical assistance and to create a framework capable of capitalising on the resulting synergistic effects, and to examine the feasibility of collaborative projects. At the same time, Toyota also agreed to obtain a stake in Isuzu.
However, with changes in the market environment prompting the companies to suspend some of the originally considered projects and little specific progress achieved in other collaborative efforts, Toyota and Isuzu have agreed to re-examine the capital relationship based on the current business situation.
As the automotive industry faces sweeping changes, Isuzu and Toyota intend to accelerate their efforts to improve competitiveness in the commercial and passenger vehicle markets, respectively.

Malaysian car Proton reaching high hope after stake sold to Chinese automotive Geely
History of Malaysian ‘Proton’
‘Proton‘ is the Malaysian based automobile manufacturer which holds a major share in the Malaysian automotive industry. Established in 1983, it was a symbol of national pride and a country moving towards industrialization.
In Britain, it sold 10,300 units in its first year, far above expectations. By 1998 and thereafter, Proton grabbed some 80% of the passenger car market.
However, Proton never picked up speed, having been overtaken by foreign competitors and subsequently and struggled over its future direction.
Proton was set up by the Government in 1983 and started building cars two years later in association with Mitsubishi of Japan, which took up a 30% equity interest.
The new millennium was a difficult one for Proton. The launch of GEN.2, which saw the first Proton model that featured the company’s proprietary Campro engine, did not meet expectations. By March 2004, Proton ended its long-time association with Japan’s Mitsubishi and was left to chart its own future.
Chinese Geely buys shares of ‘Proton’
In May 2017, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group and DRB-Hicom signed a deal according to which Zhejiang Geely Holding Group bought a 49.9% stake in Proton Cars. Under this deal, Geely Holding Group was committed to seeing a full revival of Proton Cars to being the number one Malaysian domestic brand and the leading brand in South East Asia.
On 3rd August, China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group signed an agreement to acquire a 49.9-percent stake in Malaysia’s carmaker Proton, 30 days after an initial deal was reached between Geely and DRB-Hicom, the Malaysian conglomerate that owns 100 percent of Proton.
The deal was valued at 460.3 million ringgit (108 million U.S. dollars), including a cash injection of 170.3 million ringgit into Proton by Geely, and a sports utility vehicle platform that is worth 290 million ringgit, DRB-Hicom Managing Director Syed Faisal Albar told a press conference following the signing ceremony.
‘Proton’ launched in Pakistan in 2006 but unsuccessfully left
Proton launched in Pakistan back in 2006 with a hope of development and expansion. Launching ceremony which was held on Friday 15th September 2006 was honored by the then Chief Minister of Sindh Mr. Arbab Ghulam Raheem. Four models were introduced namely the Impian 1.6, Gen-2 1.3 & 1.6, Wira 1.5 and Saga 1.3.
Most of the Proton vehicles were based on Mitsubishi’s technology as Proton had a technical collaboration agreement with the Japanese manufacturer. The vehicles entered in Pakistan being CNG equipped and were priced quite economically but sadly probably due to the lack of vision and finances of the local distributor in Pakistan Proton vehicle could not get the attention it deserved and thus was discontinued very soon. However, we can still see few Proton cars running on Pakistani roads.
The public stopped relying on this new venture due to some obvious reasons such as no after sale services and incompetent mechanical services provided by the local company representing Proton in Pakistan.
Undoubtedly, Pakistani automobile industry has a lot of potentials and it is rapidly growing but the consumer pattern is quite divergent here and which was the reason why Proton did not have a success story in Pakistan. Some customers would prefer resale, while others would go for the most unique car with best features. Some would prefer fuel economy, the other would want a gas guzzling V8s; just to flaunt it to the public. Therefore, it would be wrong to say that resale was the only reason to the Proton’s end.
Future Prospects
Looking at the number of used imported cars on the road, it seems that if Proton had improved on their after sales and quality of labor, they could have been a great company.
We are hopeful that Malaysian ‘Proton’ would come back soon in Pakistan enriched with innovative and modern features with the backing of Geely/Volvo Technology, Safety and reliability along with the complete backup support and reasonable priced vehicle.

Automotive Seat Belts and Air Bags History
Seat Belts
American Edward J. Claghorn created the first patented seat belt on February 10, 1885 in order to keep tourists safe in taxis in New York City. The real breakthrough with modern seat belts came in 1958 when Swedish engineer Nils Bohlin invented the three-point seatbelt.
The use of seat belts in automobiles did not begin in earnest until the mid to late 1950’s. Even then, seat belts were considered optional equipment. In 1955, famous actor James Dean died in a spectacular two-vehicle crash in the Southern California desert, which he likely would have survived had he been wearing a seat belt. History was made. The seat belt industry bloomed.Probably more so than any other incident, the Dean crash launched a new period of public awareness about seat belt utilization in automobiles and their possible advantages.
In 1955, Swedish automaker Volvo was the first manufacturer to offer seat belt systems as standard equipment in its automobiles on a safety first theme. Volvo backed up its claims with a substantial amount of crash testing it independently performed during the 1950’s, which provided inescapable proof that use of a seat belt during an automobile accident, would reduce both fatalities and serious injuries.
Although history shows a heightened public awareness about seat belt safety, in the United States some American automakers wanted to offer seat belts as optional equipment in their vehicle lines, few customers ordered seat belts and they were never made standard equipment in American cars until the mid-1960. This spirit of innovation, excellence and customer orientation in the creation of the automotive safety systems industry and these same values in Autoliv Inc, the global market leader in safety systems today have one more thing in common, both originate from Sweden.
Air Bags
During the mid-1980’s, while the automatic restraint systems were being troubleshot in production, crash research was leading to the conclusion that an inflatable air bag (often referred to as the SRS – supplemental, restraint system) could supplement vehicle occupant protection in an accident is used as a supplement to seat belts and shoulder harnesses.
Inclusion of these systems in new vehicles began to become mandatory in certain passenger vehicles the early 1990’s and was gradually phased in into other types of vehicles. Air bags, of course, also pose their own risks. Recent concern has arisen over the potential for air bags, during deployment, to cause serious life threatening injuries to certain occupants, such as small children and frail adults, during sudden air bags inflation. Nonetheless, air bags have greatly reduced the number of fatal and serious auto injuries in vehicular accidents, particularly in highway accidents involving greater speeds.
At Present
Autoliv is the forefront of automotive safety technology especially in seat belt and air bags manufacturing in the world. Autoliv is the world’s largest automotive safety supplier, with sales to all major car manufacturers in the world. More than 72,000 associates in 27 countries are passionate about the vision of Saving More Lives. Autoliv develops, manufactures and markets airbags, seatbelts, steering wheels, passive safety electronics and active safety systems, including brake control systems, radar, night vision and camera vision systems.

30,000 bike riders in Karachi suffer head injuries due to not wearing a helmet
Pakistan is a middle-income country where a motorcycle is a common mode of transportation. Youngsters while riding motorcycles forget to wear a helmet which ultimately leads to severe head injuries. The number of reported cases of head injuries in Karachi is increasing on a daily basis. Head injuries are considered to be very expensive in terms of lives lost, efficiency losses, and health care expenses. Head injury is considered to be serious if the brain gets affected, otherwise, the injury is expected to be a simple one.
According to Dr. Ali Raza who is the head of the Neuro Trauma Department at Jinnah Medical Post Graduates Center (JPMC), more than 30,000 people suffer from head injuries every year.
Speaking at the Research and Updates in Neuroscience Conference (RUN) at the JPMC, Raza said more than 80 youngsters get injured in motorcycle accidents every day due to not wearing helmets.
He asked the conference attendees to spread the message of wearing helmets which could prevent fatalities and save a life.
Dr. Lal Rehman, the director education of neurosurgery and neuroscience at JPMC said, the majority of people suffer from a brain hemorrhage and head trauma due to not wearing helmets while riding a motorcycle.
Currently, the JPMC Neuro Trauma Unit is the only place in the country which is providing the latest technology and treatment regarding neurological and surgical issues, with advanced machines such as Cyberknife, Gamma Knife, and radiotherapy at the hospital, Rehman stated.
Head injuries can be fatal resulting in the death of the patient. Studies have found that the majority of the deaths in accidents have been due to head injuries or head trauma. These are a major cause of mortality or disability among the youth of the nation. Steps need to be taken to control fatal head injuries by adopting effective preventive measures like wearing a helmet, traffic control, and management, rapid response to accidents, effective and efficient handling of cases in hospital emergencies.
