BMW To Cut Down Workforce
2008-02-13 02:49:00
We are very much aware that American automakers are reeling as if they have just been hit by a right cross by Kimbo Slice. General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler have been reducing their workforce for months now and have shut down plants and reduced shifts on some of their assembly facilities. On the other hand, we are under the impression that European automakers are sailing smoothly with a few setbacks here and there. But recently, Edmunds reported that BMW, yup, the same German automaker which manufactures vehicles with auto parts as reliable as Acura alternators, has announced that they are looking to cut about $8.7 billion in cost by 2012. That announcement is really similar to when the Big Three announced that they are cutting down costs. The German automaker will also take steps similar to what the Big Three has done. BMW will be trimming their workforce and will reduce their spending on materials and research and development. Now, this is really bad. Bad in the...

Audi Posts January Sales
2008-02-02 02:52:00
German automaker Audi is not as popular as BMW or Mercedes-Benz. This is very apparent in the number of vehicles sold by these German automakers. But that does not mean that Audi is not making an attempt to get closer to BMW and Mercedes-Benz in terms of sales. Recently, The Auto Channel reported that Audi published its sales report for January . Wow! January's over already. Anyway, the automaker reported its sale for the United States auto market which is considered to be the most important market in the world even with the economic downturn. So, Audi reported that they have sold 6,418 units of high quality vehicles (I am quite sure that they are) for the month of January. That is 0.3 percent better than their sales in the United States last year for the same month. Although the increase is not as huge as I would have wanted it to be (I like Audi), it still shows that the automaker is making headway in its goal to challenge both BMW and Mercedes-Benz as the best Germa...

2008-01-31 08:01:00
Based in Germany, car maker Daimler has recently disclosed in a report that they are in the process of deciding whether they would start up a plant in Europe's eastern part. The facility is said to be an assembly plant which would be completing the car-making process. Like with the Jeep, they have manufacturing plants for Jeep wheels and a different facility for building the complete unit. Daimler has also disclosed that if they do decide to build this new facility, they would be using that to make Mercedes Benz vehicles.The completion of the said plant would then lead to having more citizens of the area getting employed. The move would also help strengthen the European Union's move to have a motor industry that has a wider range.At present, Daimler is looking at two sites where they could construct their plant. One of the sites is in the city of Wroclaw in Poland and the second would be near the north western portion of Romania. There have been no confirmations from Daimler yet a...

Ford's Survival of the Fittest Scheme
2008-01-30 03:17:00
The law on survival of the fittest now applies with the Ford Motor Co. as India's Tata Motors is expected to take over Ford's Jaguar and Land Rover after a thorough bidding process.Since last year, Ford has entertained the idea of selling the brands in order to overcome its financial crisis. With Tata Motors buying them for more than $2 billion, Ford finds a solution to counter its mounting debts.Ford told Reuters that selling the Land Rover and Jaguar would greatly support its plan of multiyear restructuring in North America since those brands no longer obtain enough profit for the company. In 2006, Ford lost $12.6 billion. But with its cost-cutting measures, Ford recovered with $88 million gains through the first quarter of last year."There is still considerable work to do and while no final decision has been made, we will proceed with further substantive discussions with Tata Motors over the forthcoming weeks," Ford Executive Vice President Lewis Booth said.Meanwhile, details...

Damaged Cars + eBay = Perfect Business
2008-01-25 09:21:00
There’s good money in that trash. Yes, they aren’t pure crap; they can be a perfect source for building wealth.Damaged cars aren’t useless; little repairs can do big magic you know. And with the aid of eBay, the world's biggest online buying and selling community Web site, what you considered trash can transform into sparkly dime.CNBC shares this story:Dragging a couple of hundred potential buyers of damaged cars around in the snow or Southern humidity isn’t the best business model for an auctioneer. That’s why Copart embraced the eBay way and started selling online. Now, the company moves 6,000 vehicles a day over the Net.And that’s just one of the ways founder, Chairman and CEO Willis Johnson has grown Copart, which makes its money “remarketing” totaled cars for insurance companies. He noticed that about 25% of his buyers are outside the U.S., so he bough the U.K.’s Universal Salvage to expand his footprint.The overseas business is big because it’s only the co...

The European Cars
2007-12-27 08:20:00
According to an international car-safety advocate, Australian motorists have been tricked into thinking European cars are the best when they are the most dangerous. Let us take a while of break from checking this Acura CL strut assembly to have a closer look at this issue …Based from smh.com, New Zealander Clive Matthew-Wilson, author of The Dog & Lemon Guide 2008, said that Australians were risking their lives as they buy European models. He said, “In Australia and New Zealand, European cars have a certain exotic cachet. It’s so often that people have the impression that they’re getting something better than average when in fact it’s the opposite.”Matthew-Wilson claims that European cars have a “shocking shelf life”, are poorly built, unreliable, expensive to fix and consistently feature at the bottom of British and German customer satisfaction surveys. He said, “Mercedes Benz definitely hovers among the worst, so does Volkswagen … Yet if you asked 19 out of...

Chevrolet, the largest automobile brand owned by General Motors (GM), is about to bring its 2009 Corvette ZR1 to the US market in the third quarter of 2008. The company calls the car “an American supercar that not only establishes new benchmarks for production-based power and performance, but challenges global competitors.”According to Chevrolet general manager Ed Peper, “The ZR1 redefines what an American supercar can deliver with performance that betters exotics costing two, three or four times as much – and can still be driven as a daily commuter.”Peper said, “Preliminary testing shows the ZR1 beats the previous Corvette Z06 in every performance category … from acceleration and braking to cornering grip and top speed … It all boils down to the power-to-weight ratio and the ZR1’s is exceptional – better than the Porsche 911 GT2, the Ferrari 599 and even the Lamborghini LP640.” “In fact the ZR1 is expected to be the first production Corvette with a top speed...

Europe to overthrow US as the world’s biggest car market?
2007-12-20 04:19:00
Looks like Europe is up to something … Would it be a massive rollout of premium Acura CL fan shroud? Or, a showcase of thousands of future cars? … Sadly, it’s not. Rather, it is about the growing sales of new cars within Europe, which could possibly bring down U.S. in its thrown being the biggest car market in the world.Based from a recent research, conducted by Automotive News Europe, the new car sales in US reached a total of 15.6 million units last year. That is equivalent to about 740,000 units more than the sales in Europe.However, the gap narrowed down by 10,980 units in the first 10 months this year. And, that is close enough for Europe to overthrow the current title holder.By fact, the recent credit crisis in the US and the surging fuel prices are mainly the hindrance at the midst of its growth.The time seemed to go well for Europe, on the other hand. The growth in two major markets – Italy and the UK – brought Europe to boost its sales volume throughout this year....

Targets to cut CO2 car emissions in Europe
2007-12-19 04:06:00
The Europe an Commission recently held talks to tackle about EU (European Union) targets in reducing CO2 car emissions – amidst the fear that wrangling between car manufacturing countries might delay or hinder the entire process.The Commission is looking forward to adopt a draft regulation soon, aimed to reduce carbon emissions to 120 grams per kilometer for passenger cars with five years. But, a tough consequence between European heavyweights has attempted to put the key negotiations on crisis. According to a member, the car manufacturers that have been traditionally producing heavy and energy-hungry cars are concerned that the emission targets will unfairly benefit those businesses that are making lighter and more efficient vehicles.French manufacturers, such as Peugeot-Citroen, have already reduced the carbon emissions to 140g for their cars. On the other hand, German automakers, such as BMW, Mercedes and Daimler, are left behind because they produce heavier and higher performan...

Mitsubishi attributes success to Outlander and Lancer
2007-12-18 02:38:00
Last year, Mitsubishi Motor Corp., the sixth largest automaker in Japan and the seventeenth largest in the world by global unit sales, had its global retail sales surging by 15 percent. A big factor contributing to this success is the launch of the company’s two new C-segment models, namely the Outlander SUV and Lancer sedan, more than having premium Mitsubishi Pickup radiator hose on the vehicles the company produces.Mitsubishi provided both the models a torquey new 2.4 L engine. The engine adds a lower entry point to what was a V-6-only lineup for the Outlander. It also provides a “big block” in the topstep GTS trim for the Lancer, on the other hand.Since the launch, the Lancer had the all-aluminum 2.0 L engine. Now, the new 4B12 engine comes as a bored and stroked variant of the old. The new has a displacement of 362 cc, boosted up through an 11 mm increase in piston stroke (to 91) and a 2 mm increase in cylinder bore diameter (88). Like the old, the new features 16 valves ...

Maruti Suzuki re-focusing on European Market
2007-12-15 02:15:00
Maruti Suzuki , the largest passenger carmaker in India, is likely to re-focus in the European market and compete against other auto leaders, including Fiat, Citroen, Peugeot and Toyota in the small car category.Small cars are surging in popularity in Europe after the significant rising of fuel prices, congestion and new laws that penalize high emissions were observed. This fact boosted Maruti Suzuki to produce tiny cars in the “A segment” to be exported by the end of next year.According to Michael Tyndall, European auto and component analyst for Nomura in London, “There is a trend towards downsizing in the market… There’s almost a divergence. The premium segment is growing strongly. At the same time the small car segment is growing. Everything else in the middle is suffering.”Suzuki created A-Star, a new five-door hatchback, which will comply with strict Euro 5 emission standards. It will have a one-liter aluminum engine. The vehicle will be sold in Europe under the Suzu...
