Benchmarking
BENCHMARKING
Benchmarking is the process of comparing between two vehicles to find the important features already present in the market and finding ways to implement those features in your own vehicle. Benchmarking is also useful for finding any features that are lacking in the market and introducing those features to your vehicle, benchmarking 1 is useful to find the initial features for concept preparation. Benchmarking II is the detailed benchmarking of a single commodity or part of a car, like its roof, hood etc. It will have detailed reports for the material, thickness, weight etc.
