“A SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR STORAGE AND TRANSPORT OF COMPONENTS OF A VEHICLE”

HERO MOTOCORP LIMITED, an Indian Company at: The Grand Plaza, Plot No.2, Nelson Mandela Road, Vasant Kunj- Phase -II, New Delhi, India, 110 070

THEFOLLOWINGSPECIFICATION PARTICULARLY DESCRIBES THE INVENTION AND THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS TO BE PERFORMED.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
[001] The present invention relates to a system and a method for storage and transportation of components of a vehicle, particularly, a system and a method for storage and transportation of components of a two wheeler.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
[002] Conventionally the vehicle, particularly two wheeled vehicle are either transported in a fully assembled mode or in a complete knock down mode. Storing and transporting a fully assembled vehicle consumes a significant amount of space in the cargo, freight or such, resulting in less number of such fully assembled vehicles being transported in each cargo, freight or such. Transporting reduced number of vehicles per cargo, freight or such in a way increases the transportation cost.

[003] In a complete knock down mode, vehicles are generally stored in a “cluster packaging mode”, wherein each component is disposed in a dedicated casing for that component or “one case-one vehicle components packaging mode”, wherein all components of one vehicle are disposed collectively in one casing. Each “cluster packaging mode” and “one case-one vehicle components packaging mode” has its respective disadvantages.

[004] In vehicle there exists a variety of components with varied shape and size and if these components are to packed safely utilizing a cluster packaging mode, it is not viable to utilize the inside space of each casing to its fullest. Even if the casing size is varied to increase components per casing, then also the number of vehicles per cargo, freight or such is not drastically improved.

[005] In “one case-one vehicle components packaging mode”, packaging all components of a vehicle in one casing may aid in utilizing inner space of the casing to its fullest, but packaging all components of a vehicle in one casing requires a casing of a larger size and dimension. As a consequence, the number of vehicles per cargo, freight or such is not drastically improved.

[006] Therefore, it has been desired to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned disadvantages.
