Introduction
This is some of data sample collected from a particular kind of manner to
analyze most demanding motor cars in a large sale which facilitate to
manufacturers forecast their future growth of production.
This collection would be categorized mainly in terms of their performance
related features rather than physical features such as number of cylinders
in the engine, mode of gear type, speed limit and so on.
The research is basically done under following variables,
I.
II.
III.
IV.
V.
VI.
VII.
VIII.
IX.
X.
In this data set, it is included normal, luxury and super luxury cars with
their special features. And also same type of cars related to several
manufactures and has different features and performance. In here some
design engineers, data analysts, technical managers and such kind of
personnel have been involved for this survey to get data set.
OBJECTIVES
The following objectives have to be achieved by doing this particular
research. They are,
Get an idea about types of cars of different manufacturers
How engine capacity affect to the speed of the car
What is the most favorable and effective fuel type?
What is the frequently used of most suitable drive system?
University of Colombo
Methodology
In order to analyze data basic statistical techniques has been used in here.
Pictorial representation methods such as bar charts & pie charts as well as
descriptive statistical methods such as mean, mode has been used to analyze the
given data set in order to clearly distinguish the significant aspects of the data set.
For comprehensive analysis of data in an effective way two main methods have
been used in here to present data. Theyre,

Bar charts
A bar chart or bar graph is a chart with rectangular bars with lengths proportional
to the values that they represent. The bars can be plotted vertically or
horizontally. One axis of the chart shows the specific categories being compared,
and the other axis represents a discrete value.
There are different kinds of bar charts that can be used in representing data in a
most suitable way such as,
Simple bar charts
Component bar charts
Percentage component bar charts
Multiple bar charts
Out of these bar charts the ones that are being used in this project are simple bar
charts, multiple bar charts and percentage component bar charts .

Pie charts
A pie chart (or a circle graph) is a circular chart divided into sectors, illustrating
numerical proportion. In a pie chart, the arc length of each sector (and
consequently its central angle and area), is proportional to the quantity it
represents. There can be used exploded pie charts, three dimensional pie charts
& comparative pie charts to present data according to persons need. But in most
cases Pie charts can be replaced by other plots such as the bar chart.

Here are set of collected data about different types of motor cars of various
manufacturers. In order to make decisions what is the market for the future
demand of motor cars, above data has to be analyze in such ways to meet the
companys main objectives & so as to fulfill customers need. Company has to be
concern about what are the most preferable & demanding brand of motor cars,
what is the most favourable gear type, what is the most efficient fuel type &
average miles per gallon in the city & the high way and so on.

Figure 4.2 clearly shows that the vehicle type that been majority been used
is compact cars. Its nearly two thirds from all the vehicle types been used. And
about 20% preferred in two seaters vehicles. Minority is preferred in size station
wagons. Less than 10% are interested in small station & size station wagons.
So, the manufacturers need to increase their products of compact cars &
two seaters cars in order to match the demand in the market while accomplishing
high performance & concerning about ways to improve low cost for maintaining
the vehicle.

Figure 4.3 (c) Comparison of annual fuel cost compact vs. two seaters cars
Its so obvious that both compact cars & two seaters cars have been using
approximately same percentage of fuel capacity in each category for their motor
cars. Even though, figure 4.3 (c) depicts two seaters cars fuel cost is much less
than compact cars fuel cost.

Figure 4.4 Analyze most preferable brands of motor car among two seaters & compact cars
Figure 4.4. apparently shows that the majority uses Volkswagen as the
transport mode & considerable amount of people tends to use Mercedes motor
cars as well while fewer of them tends to use Toyota & BMW as their transport
mode.

Figure 4.5 illustrates that large cars needs higher number of cylinders in a motor
car.Reason for this could be that large number of cylinders needs to give much more high
power to the motor cars. So that large cars might be need relatively high numbers of
cylinders in order to supply the power it needs to give higher performance of the motor
car. So that when manufacturing brand new larger car types manufacturers need to
include extra cylinders in order to fulfill the market demand. Also, the number of cylinders
affects the smoothness with which the engine delivers its power. So, its much better to
use large number of cylinders. Besides, the more cylinders the more life-time an engine
will have, because the pressure is shared.

This figure clearly illustrate that how power transmission system in engine
effect to the variation of fuel consumption. In auto cars their fuel consumption is
much higher than in same model car with manual transmission.
A large number of valve engine has better breathing and can operate at
higher revolutions per minute (RPM) than a few number of valve engine,
delivering more power. Hence it consume significantly large amount of fuel
incurring huge operating cost.

Most number of sold car class is compact cars. In this figure shows same type
compact cars have been manufactured by several manufacturers. Out of these
manufacturers Volkswagen cars are major (31.25%) in the sale. As a result of that
that manufacturer can predict their coming year turn out.

CONCLUSION
According to the result of the above research and analysis, it can get
some important conclusions given below
According to these data analyze the most popular motor car in use is
compact cars
As the result of the above research and analysis, it can get some important
conclusions given below,
According to these data analyze the most popular car in that data source is
compact cars by Volkswagen manufacturer.
Compact cars and two seaters cars are more economical in day to day use.
To conclude this report describes how to choose a motor car to a new buyer with
considering relevant very important features and performance of a motor car.
