In December 2000 Girish Wagh was given a brief
by Ravi Kant to create a new very light truck line that
would add to current truck range. It was to be
economical and to take on the three-wheeled cargo auto
rickshaws in the Indian market.Based on this brief Wagh
approached users of three-wheel cargo rickshaws and
got their feed back on ****'s future four-wheel cargo
vehicle. The feedback indicated the need for an
economical vehicle that could take light loads over short
distances. Additionally the feedback also revealed that
future owners would prefer owning a four-wheeler cargo
vehicle for the perceived prestige it would offer over a
three-wheeled vehicle.
X has created a new mini segment in India. Priced
between 2.25 to 3.35 lakhs INR, the company aims to
convert three-wheeler users to four-wheelers.

Automobile were advocates of the concepts for X.
Heldt wrote an editorial in June 1902 in which he
said, "Now there is a noticeable tendency for
automobile manufacturers to follow certain accepted
lines of construction, technical questions constantly
arise which seek solution from the cooperation of the
technical men connected with the industry. These
questions could best be dealt with by a technical
society. The field of activity for this society would be
the purely technical side of automobiles.

The first reaction is the decomposition of NaN3 under high
temperature conditions using an electric impulse. This impulse
generates to 300 °C temperatures required for the decomposition
of the NaN3 which produces Na metal and N2 gas. Since Na
metal is highly reactive, the KNO3 and SiO2 react and remove
it, in turn producing more N2 gas.
The reason that KNO3 is used rather than something like
NaNO3 is because it is less hygroscopic. It is very important that
the materials used in this reaction are not hygroscopic because
absorbed moisture can de-sensitize the system and cause the
reaction to fail.
The final reaction is used to eliminate the K2O and Na2O
produced in the previous reactions because the first-period metal
oxides are highly reactive. These products react with SiO2 to
produce a silicate glass which is a harmless and stable
compound
