A practical study of various automobiles regarding their engine, other internal components, and driving system is carried out in this lab. The students are also given the opportunity to work on the real vehicle to study the basic function of the automobile. The lab contains working models of the synchromesh gearbox, suspension system, various type of steering system, transaxle gearbox with differential, various types of clutch assembly, ignition system, various types of brakes. It also has a various wall hanging boards containing working above automobile assemblies.
