2008 Geneva Auto Show: Morgan LifeCar Concept
2008-02-17 16:05:00
British automaker Morgan is aiming to put some entertainment value into alternatively-fuelled vehicles. They announced yesterday that a concept called the LifeCar would be launched at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show in March. It's goal? Demonstrating that a zero-emission vehicle can be fun to drive.The LifeCar is powered by a fuel-cell hybrid powertrain that boasts a 200-mile range. A fuel cell works by taking stored hydrogen and converting it into two simple components- electricity and water vapour. The electricity is used to propel the vehicle by way of electric motors, and the water vapour is expelled as exhaust.The technology is proven to work- though a lack of infrastructure for fuelling is a major challenge.Morgan says that the combination of the LifeCar's performance, range, and fuel economy will give a sporting driver of the future the ability to demonstrate a concern for the environment.It also makes an interesting styling statement, featuring an interesting architecture enable...

NEW DELHI — German luxury makes Mercedes -Benz, BMW and Audi are battling in the India n market for a share of barely 4,000 units for 2008, and each company is eager to maximize its stake in this small yet important market.With Audi and BMW now on the scene, Mercedes-Benz cannot afford to sit idly by while others take chunks out of its former monopoly in the Indian luxury vehicle market.At this year's New Delhi Auto Expo, Mercedes unveiled Indian-market versions of the new C-Class sedan and CLK coupe. Mercedes expects sales to climb 18 percent in 2008, to roughly 3,000 vehicles.Dr. Wilfried Aulbur, managing director and CEO of Daimler India, says quality is a source of pride. He explained that the E-, C- and S-Class vehicles sold in India are also built there."Our quality numbers are consistently higher than the cars built in Germany," says Aulbur of the Mercedes factory in Pune. He freely admits that a large part of the reason is the factory's slow output. "We can be more careful...

MG Rover: SAIC and NAC Union
2008-01-11 16:27:00
The battle between SAIC (Shanghai Automotive Industrial Corporation) and NAC (Nanjing Automotive Corporation) for the U.K. MG Rover , had end up by a joined union of two.In a new merger, SAIC paid out $285.7million (£145m) for the smaller of the businesses. In return, Yuejin – parent firm of Nanjing – received a 4.9 per cent stake in SAIC.More than 100 car companies currently fight for a slice of the profits in China. And industry analysts agree this fragmented market is partly to blame for their lack of success outside its own country.However, the newly bolstered SAIC could be perfectly placed to change that. The firm is about to launch the Roewe 750 in the UK – and a tie-up with Nanjing means it can also add the MG TF to the range.The two-seater roadster goes into production at Rover’s former site at Longbridge this year. SAIC’s existing joint ventures with General Motors and the VW Group – which have allowed it to produce cars such as the VW Passat and Cadillac CTS â€...

Tata said, “I observed families riding on two-wheelers – the father driving the scooter, his young kid standing in front of him, his wife seated behind him holding a little baby.It led me to wonder whether one could conceive of a safe, affordable, all-weather form of transport for such a family."Tata Motors’ engineers and designers gave their all for about four years to realise this goal.

U.S. Aftermarket Association Accuse CARB
2008-01-11 16:09:00
A coalition of 10 state and national aftermarket trade associations has filed a lawsuit against the California Air Resources Board (CARB), challenging proposed regulations that would require vehicle manufacturers to extend warranties on emissions-related parts to 10 years or 120,000 miles for most cars, hence keeping replacements captive to their dealer networks.One of the plaintiffs filing the lawsuit is the Automotive Service Association (ASA)."The action by CARB to extend warranties to the useful life will cause extensive economic damage to independent aftermarket service facilities in the state and is unlikely to provide any real clean air or consumer benefit," said Jackie Miller, executive director of Automotive Service Councils of California, another plaintiff in the case."Because car owners will have no idea whether a needed repair that is indicated by the malfunction indicator light is covered by the extended warranty, motorists will return to the dealer for nearly all repai...

Malaysian Vehicle sals Rise 21 Percent
2008-01-07 16:55:00
Malaysia's vehicle market recovery accelerated in November with new registrations rising by 21.3% to 43,783 units, according to the Malaysian Automotive Association. Sales activity was boosted by seasonal factors, rising consumer confidence and the launch of important new models earlier in the year.During the month, new passenger car registrations grew by 22.8% to 40,053 units, while commercial_vehicle sales increased by 6.8% to 3,491 units. In particular, the launch of the Proton Persona - a popular sub-compact car - contributed significantly to the sales rise. The sharp decline in the first half of the year means that 2007 will likely be at best a flat year for new sales, however. Cumulatively, new registrations fell by 2% in the first eleven months to 444,932 units, compared with 454,160 a year earlier. December sales will likely see higher volumes year-on-year, but the month is traditionally a weak one for sales - with customers preferring to wait until the new year to register...

News from Berlin , German that they are starting to bans older smoky cars, requiring motorists to display windscreen stickers certifying that the cars have normal emissions of particluates. In addition to Berlin, Cologne and Hanover also give out the ban, ringing the road signs declaring their downtown areas "environmental zones".The stickers, graded green, yellow and red, are issued for a small fee by private firms or vehicle testing authorities after they have checked in a catalogue of auto models that the car was made with anti-pollution features. Fines of 40 euros (58 dollars) will be imposed on motorists, including foreigners, each time they drive through the cities without any sticker.

Why Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable Safety Leaders?
2007-12-26 16:49:00
Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable are recognized safety leaders for many reasons. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded Taurus and Sable its "Top Safety Pick" designation for large family cars. And the two vehicles earned the maximum five-star rating in all crash test categories from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "It's like winning the Super Bowl," said Steve Kozak, a Ford Motor Company chief safety engineer, of the double honor. So what makes the Ford safety system in the Taurus and Sable so superior? Much of the credit is due to the restraints control module, or RCM that masterfully brings the myriad of safety components together in harmony. A car crash happens in the blink of an eye -- 300 milliseconds, or about a third of a second, from start to finish. The RCM in the Taurus and Sable is tucked away below the console to the right of the driver. The RCM analyzes in a split-second data it receives from electronic sensors placed around the car, and t...

This automotive equivalent of Greg Louganis, promises the Swiss company, would be capable of going further than any amphicar in the past, if it ever were produced, by not only surfing the waves, but submarining under them.Rinspeed says the sQuba concept has been drawn around the idea of driving on roads, then--at the push of a button--converting the sQuba into an amphibious vehicle capable of diving into water as deep as 33 feet.It doesn't seem like a good idea on paper, but the Rinspeed crew outfits its concept with an electric motor (zap!), which sends torque to drive the rear wheels.

Back in the days of former Ford CEO Jac Nasser, we were told that if Ford could just build one car for the whole of mankind instead of a bunch of different platforms for every little Ford region, we'd all end up with better cars. They would be cheaper, too.It sounds like the same kind of thinking that Henry Ford brought to the Model T. Only with this world car, Ford spent a squillion dollars and called it the Mondeo.
