What is an "Automotive
Application"?
3. What is “listing by Automotive
Application”?
Answer to Q: 2, 3
An Automotive
Application means the functional Automotive
Application of a product to a particular section of the automobile
vehicle. For e.g.: Engine parts, gear box parts, suspension items
etc.
Listing by
Automotive Application displays together all the
Automotive Application groups like
engine part, suspension parts, gear box items etc.
Clicking on any of the Automotive
Application will take you to the page containing
all components of that specific Automotive
Application group like all engine parts enlisted together.
Thus all the components of the engine like pistons, rings, pins,
crankshafts, connecting rods etc are listed on a common page of
engine parts.
Few more examples!
A crankshaft can be located in the Automotive Application page:
engine parts.
A gear box, main shafts, speed gears can be located in the
Automotive Application page: gear box parts.
A hub bolt or a wheel stud can be found in the page axles, hubs &
drums

Line like all the forged components enlisted together.
Thus all the items of the Manufacturing Line ‘forged components’
such as crankshafts, yokes, cross holders, flanges, hubs, etc are
listed together on a common page.
Few more examples!
A crankshaft can be located in the Manufacturing
Line page forged components,
A gear box main shafts, speed gears etc can be located in the
Manufacturing
Line page: automotive gears,
A hub bolt or a wheel stud can be found in the Manufacturing Line

Why these "Automotive Applications" and "Manufacturing
Line" dimensions?
7. How do you define the inter-relationship between
Automotive Application and Manufacturing Line?
8. Why are you providing the link between Automotive
Application and Manufacturing Line?
9. I click on a product I am interested in and i reach
an entirely different category, why?
10. Why clicking on a product name takes me to another listing?
Answer to Q: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Our experience says that an automobile component can be viewed
either by its Automotive Application to a vehicle section or by its
primary industry of manufacturing / processing or the raw material
ingredient being used which we describe as a Manufacturing Line.
(Refer to FAQ 2 & 4 ‘What is Automotive
Application / Manufacturing
Line?’).
This we feel will ensure flexibility to view and select the allied
items, if necessary, in any of the dimensions, along with the item
of your interest.
Take for example:

As you can see in the example above a
crankshaft is displayed under the
Automotive Application: engine parts
as it is one of the prime components of an engine. Simultaneously
the primary industry / process of its manufacture for the
crankshaft is forging industry hence
it is displayed under the Manufacturing Line
forged components as well.
Now let us explain the above example from your angle. Suppose you
have clicked on theManufacturing Line forged
components and you find that you want to send us an enquiry
on crankshafts. At this juncture, our
past experience suggests that you may also require other fast moving
items of engine parts along with the
crankshaft. So we have facilitated our
website such that clicking on the crankshaft
(while in Manufacturing Line) will
take you to the Automotive Application
listing engine parts and there you can also order allied
engine parts like camshafts, gasket kits, main & connecting rods
etc.
Now let us see the reverse situation. Suppose you have clicked on
the Automotive Application engine parts
and you find that you want to send us an enquiry on
crankshafts, here it may so happen
that you may also like to order other forged
components along with the crankshafts.
So we have facilitated our website such that you click on the
crankshaft (while in Automotive Application)
will take you to the Manufacturing Line listing forged component
where you can also order other forging items such as connecting
rods, yokes, cross holders, flanges, hubs etc along with the
crankshafts.
Like wise all our products are having two dimensions like an engine
mount can be from under the Automotive
Application engine parts and also in the Manufacturing Line:
rubber parts. Clicking on the name ‘engine mounts’ in
Automotive Application listing takes you to the
Manufacturing Line: rubber parts,
which is the other dimension of the engine mounts.

Why does results of browsing and search take us to Automotive
Application listing?
Answer to Q: 13
When you click at any of the items listed under the results of
Browse All
or Search,
you are taken to the Automotive
Application listing. This is so because we believe that
most people related to the automotive sector identify products with
their Automotive
Application. Therefore, it is appropriate that you as a
visitor view the items with the Automotive
Application listing. Since many items under one
application are demanded parallelly, we have tried to make the issue
simpler by putting all the items under the same
Automotive
Application with the item chosen, thereby enabling you
to pick and chose whatever you want from the same listing. However,
we always have the option open for you that by clicking on the item
name in the Automotive
Application listing takes you to the Manufacturing Line
of that item. To conclude, from the Search
or Browse All
listing of an item you can reach its Manufacturing Line only via its
Automotive
Application.
