Toyota Kirloskar Motor has contributed

an INNOVA engine of 2.5L capacity and

ETIOS engine of 1.4L capacity for

Centre of excellence at AMCEC.

Centre of Excellence

Centre of Excellence (COE) in association with BMW and Toyota- Kirloskar is formulated to

provide coherent automobile knowledge synchronizing practical training with theoretical

demonstrations to solve, the many unanswered, out of the box queries. Competition in the

automotive industry is proliferating every day. COE infuses technological learning in students

which will reflect the skills in demand by the industry worldwide. Apart from car engines,

three cylinder tractor engine has been converted to working model which are beneficial in the

outcome based education.

“Exploded working model of Three Cylinder Tractor Engine” inaugurated by Dr.T N

Sreenivasa on 16-03-2019

BMW has considered AMCEC is one of

the COE and has contributed a BMW car

engine of 2L capacity.
