Manufacturing Facilities
The famous 'Mercedes' OM-616 engine made under license has been further developed with Force Motors's own R & D and with assistance from M/s. Ricardo of UK & M/s. AVL of Austria, to create a large and modern facility of IDI, Direct injection, turbo / intercooled and Tractor Engines. The critical components such as cylinder blocks and precision cylinder heads etc, are made in Force Motors' own Foundry. These are machined using elaborate and modern mass production methods - both Transfer lines and Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) flexible machining systems. Mercedes standard precision and durability is built into the reliable and modern engines.
Elaborate quality control and detailed testing is carried out for each engine - using latest equipment. The G1-18 Gearbox of Mercedes design is among the smoothest and most reliable transmission in its class. The latest machinery & process technologies are used for manufacture of the gears, shafts and housings. The Drive train comprising of the Gearbox, Axles and Propeller Shafts are precision manufactured in house. Force Motors uses special alloys with high Molybedenum content to make gears with extra strength for added reliability. The gears are not only hobbed & shaved, but finished using a special high precision 'Honing' process - to generate super smooth surfaces and exacting precision - to Mercedes standard.
Each Gear pair is individually matched & checked for noise. The exacting assembly and testing procedure for the Gearbox assures life long trouble free operation. (In 1999 Force Motors Exported 2000 gearboxes of G1-18 design to Mercedes Benz Germany, for use on Mercedes vehicles in Europe)
