1.0 ABOUT US
On September 21st, 2017, a company under the name Stormrage Racing was founded in
Bengaluru. The company initially focused on production and development of spare parts for
race cars. Stormrage Racing first majorly became the providers of spare parts for the teams
participating in FFS competition. Directors of the company later decided to be more inclined
towards off-road vehicles than race cars. This decision was taken by keeping in mind, the
necessity to build safe and cheap off-roading cars in INDIA.
By the end of January 2018, the company was renamed as Tachyon Motorsport, headquartered
at Bengaluru. Now the focus of company was completely on off-roading vehicles. A major feat
of the company was with it’s car Desert Eagle. This was a 2-seater buggy with rear wheel drive.
This was the lightest 2-seater buggy in India ever manufactured. Then on, the company’s
endeavors in this field has successfully increased.

3.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
3.1 SITUATION: Modern all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), also known as quad bikes, became
available commercially in the early 1970s, when the Honda Motor Corporation introduced the
ATC90. This three-wheeled motorized vehicle was intended for recreational use, but quickly
gained popularity in agricultural and industrial settings as well; however, the three-wheel
configuration proved to be unstable, and these early ATVs were deemed responsible for an
estimated 105,000 injuries in the United States alone within the first 10 years of manufacturing.
Subsequent to a resulting lawsuit between the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
and ATV manufacturers, a 10-year consent verdict was established in 1988. This ruling set
specific regulations that the manufacturers of ATVs were required to follow, including the
cessation of production and sale of three-wheeled ATVs. Manufacturers were also expected to
offer safety/training courses, and were required to recommend engine size restrictions, the use
of helmets, adult supervision for youth, and a restriction on carrying passengers. With this,
demand for safe ATV subsequently increased in the hilly regions especially on the borders for
security purpose.
3.2 SOLUTION: Engineering of ATVs and vehicle design is an important component of injury
prevention. Due to inherent vehicle design, ATVs can become unstable causing rollover of the
vehicle and potential serious harm to the rider. Strategies to improve ATV vehicle safety via
increasing ATV stability, rollover resistance, and crashworthiness were highlighted by the
Quad Bike Performance Project in Australia. Changes to vehicle design by manufacturers were
suggested to improve vehicle safety. Potential modifications include an increase in track width,
open and lockable rear differentials, and modified suspension to improve dynamic handling
and stability.
One specific suggestion was the instalment of crush protection devices (CPDs) or rollover
protection systems. CPDs may offer some protection to the rider in the event of a rollover, but
they do not prevent rollover in the first place.
One aspect of ATV vehicle design that may impact safety and that has received recent attention
is seat design. This analysis of ATV design demonstrates how standardization of the ATV
manufacturing process could improve the uptake of safety-related behaviours.
3.3 MARKET: Growing inclination towards off-road sports activities across the globe will
escalate the all-terrain vehicle market size over the projected timeline. Rising number of
adventure parks and trails will boost the all-terrain vehicle market growth. For instance, in June
2018, New Brunswick, Canada allocated investment of USD 15.78 million for development of
motorized trails for ATV. Further, the U.S. Forest Service launched Travel Management &
Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Program to increase the awareness regarding the availability of
trails. Active government support for developing off-road trails will strengthen the industry
share in the next six years. Increasing disposable income in developed and emerging nations
will boost the all-terrain vehicle market demand over the forecast timeline. According to
National Bureau of Statistics, China, in 2017, per capita disposable income surged by over 9%
as compared to 2016. As per Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation, India, in 2017,
per capita disposable income rose by over 8% as compared to 2016. Moreover, proliferating
tourism industry will induce significant growth potential in the industry landscape. The market
size of ATV companies world-wide in 2019 was around 3 US Billion Dollars.

3.4 WHY US? Our designing purpose is to manufacture an off road vehicle safe and sound
that could help in transportation in hilly areas, farming field and as a reliable experience for a
weekend enthusiast. We aim on making our vehicle economical enough for middle class to buy
it.
In order to accomplish vehicle safety, different design aspects of an all-terrain vehicle were
analysed, and certain elements of the vehicle were chosen for specific focus. There are many
facets to an off-road vehicle, such as the chassis, suspension, steering, drive-train, and braking,
all of which require thorough design concentration. The points of the car we specifically focus
on are the chassis, drive-train, and suspension. The most time and effort is spent into designing
and implementing these components of the vehicle because, they affect the off-road driving
experience most dramatically. During the entire design process, consumer interest through
innovative, inexpensive, and effective methods is always the primary goal.

New products frequently fail in the industry. A proper and appropriate product development
and selling approach has to be made.
The first P in our marketing plan is Product. Here are 3 key elements we
considered for creating product marketing plan.
Analysing the competition:
Prioritize figuring out your competitors’ strengths and weaknesses. You can do this by
analysing reviews, asking questions in your market research, and of course, testing out the
product yourself.
Learning about our audience:
We need to know what our typical customer looks like and how they will behave, as well as
where and how they’re going to buy our product. Our competitor analysis should be a huge
help. This is simply because we are – by and large – going to be targeting the same audience
as they are, so anything we learn about them during that analysis can be applied here, too.
Setting realistic financial goals:

Launching a product without a clear understanding of how much we have to spend and how
much we need to earn is akin to jumping in the deep end of a pool when you don’t know how
to swim. Failure is inevitable.
Few more strategic points for our product marketing is listed below

problems or concerns with the products they bought or the services they availed of. Companies
should ensure that they have customer-friendly people who are ready to serve their customers’
needs.
Customer service people can actually serve as a differentiating factor versus other competitor
companies. There are products that serve the same purpose and are configured the same
way. Customers, in these cases, look for brands and companies that can offer them exceptional
customer service. It pays, therefore, for companies to invest in training their customer service
personnel. This should encompass both the technical as well as the personal aspects of the
job. This means that they should be knowledgeable about the specifications of their products
and services. At the same time, they should also be personable and have the genuine desire to
serve.

The fifth P in the marketing plan
As we’ve just identified, project management and strategic, actionable decisions go into setting
the price of a product. Here are five different pricing strategies that we considered.
Pricing for market penetration
As a business owner, you’re likely looking for ways to enter the market so that your product
becomes more well-known. Penetration strategies aim to attract buyers by offering lower
prices on goods and services than competitors.
Economy pricing
This pricing strategy is a “no-frills” approach that involves minimizing marketing and
production expenses as much as possible. Used by a wide range of businesses, including
generic food suppliers and discount retailers, economy pricing aims to attract the most price-
conscious consumers. Because of the lower cost of expenses, companies can set a lower sales
price and still turn a slight profit.
Pricing at a premium
With premium pricing, businesses set costs higher because they have a unique product or brand
that no one can compete with. We consider using this strategy as we have a considerable
competitive advantage and know that we can charge a higher price without being undercut by
a product of similar quality.
Price skimming
Designed to help businesses maximize sales on new products and services, price
skimming involves setting rates high during the initial phase of a product. The company then
lowers prices gradually as competitor goods appear on the market. One of the benefits of price
skimming is that it allows businesses to maximize profits on early adopters before dropping
prices to attract more price-sensitive consumers
Bundle pricing
With bundle pricing, s businesses sell multiple products for a lower rate than consumers would
face if they purchased each item individually. Not only is bundling goods an effective way to
reduce inventory, it can also increase the value perception in the eyes of your customers.
Customers feel as though they’re receiving more bang for their buck. Many businesses choose
to implement this strategy at the end of a product’s life cycle, especially if the product is slow
selling.

8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Environmental pollution is defined as "the contamination of the physical and biological
components of the earth/atmosphere system to such an extent that normal environmental
processes are adversely affected."
Pollutants can be naturally occurring substances or energies, but they are considered
contaminants when in excess of natural levels. Any use of natural resources at a rate higher
than nature’s capacity to restore itself can result in pollution of air, water, and land.
8.1 CAUSES OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
1. INDUSTRIES: Industries have been polluting our environment especially since the
beginning of the industrial revolution, as mentioned above, notably due to the
increasing use of fossil fuels. Though pollution by industries mainly causes air
pollution, soil and water contamination can also occur. This is particularly the case for
power-generating industries, such as plants producing electricity
2. TRANSPORTATION: Ever since men abandoned animal power to travel, pollution
of the environment has become higher and higher. Its levels have only been increasing
until now. Similarly, to industries, pollution caused by transport can mainly be
attributed to fossil fuels. Indeed, humans went from horse carriages to cars, trains
(which, before electricity, used to be propelled by coal), and airplanes. As the traffic is
increasing every day, pollution follows that evolution.
3. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES: Agriculture is mainly responsible for the
contamination of water and soil. This is caused by the increased use of pesticides, as
well as by the intensive character of its production. Almost all pesticides are made from
chemical substances and are meant to keep diseases and threatening animals away from
the crops. However, by keeping these forms of life away, harm is almost always made
to the surrounding environment as well.
4. TRADING ACTIVITIES: Trading activities including the production and exchange
of goods and services. Concerning goods, pollution can be caused by packaging (which
often involves the use of plastic, which is made from fossil fuels) or transport, mainly.
5. RESIDENCES: Finally, residential areas provide their fair share of pollution as well.
First, to be able to build homes, natural environment has to be destroyed in one way or
another. Wildlife and plants are driven away and replaced by human constructions. As
it requires the work of industries, construction itself is also a source of contamination
of the environment. Then, when people settle in, they will produce waste every day.
14 | P a g e
2. EFFECTS ON ANIMALS: Environmental pollution mainly affects animal by causing
harm to their living environment, making it toxic for them to live in. Acid rains can
change the composition of rivers and seas, making them toxic for fishes. Nitrogen and
phosphates in water will cause overgrowth of toxic algae, preventing other forms of life
to follow their normal course. Eventually, soil pollution will cause harm and sometimes
even the destruction of microorganisms, which can have the dramatic effect of killing
the first layers of the primary food chain.
3. EFFECTS ON PLANTS: As for animals, plants, and especially trees, can be destroyed
by acid rains (and this will also have a negative effect on animals as well, as their
natural environment will be modified), ozone in the lower atmosphere block the plant
respiration, and harmful pollutants can be absorbed from the water or soil.
4. EFFECTS ON THE ECOSYSTEM: In short, environmental pollution, almost
exclusively created by human activities, has a negative effect on the ecosystem,
destroying crucial layers of it and causing an even more negative effect on the upper
layers.
1. Keep your vehicle well-tuned and tires inflated properly to reduce exhaust emissions.
2. Avoid idling — idling exhaust contains more pollutants than running exhaust.
3. Commute smart by walking or riding to work or the shops instead of driving. Motor
vehicle emissions remain the most significant source of most common air pollutants.
4. Choose a fuel-efficient vehicle next time you are replacing your car.
5. Save energy, by turning off the television and make sure you flick the light switch when
you leave the room. Not only will you save money on your electricity bill, you will be
reducing emissions from coal-fired electricity plants.
6. Buy energy -efficient appliances. Check the energy rating label when buying new or
second-hand electrical appliances. More stars mean less emissions.
15 | P a g e
7. Use environmentally friendly cleaning products. Phosphorus in detergents increases
nutrient loads in rivers and can cause excessive algal growth. Never pour chemicals or
fertilizers down the drain as they get washed into stormwater drains and into rivers or
the ocean.
8. Never use open fires to dispose of wastes.
9. Adopt the 3Rs of solid waste management: reduce, reuse and recycle.
10. Use eco-friendly or biodegradable materials instead of plastic which are made up of
highly toxic substances injurious to your health.
11. Create your green space. Value your garden. Plant more trees and put indoor plants in
your homes.
This means adopting self-sufficient recycling processes and using recyclable materials that
maintain their quality throughout recycling processes. Closed-loop recycling is more preferable
because it allows a product to be recycled back into itself. Luxury automakers can establish
programs that more proactively collect end-of-life vehicles directly from end users.
This means that the business charges customers a fee to use their products and services. In
return, customers enjoy greater peace of mind and convenience, while businesses reap higher
profit margins. If implemented in the auto industry, such an arrangement significantly reduces
unnecessary consumer waste, and promotes vehicle longevity.
