Audi to supply GTL-fueled diesel A8s for World Economic Forum
2008-01-18 19:03:00 When the money gurus converge on Davos Switzerland for their annual confab next week they will again be shuttled around in a fleet of Audi A8s. The 81 cars provided by Volkswagen's premium division will be propelled by 3.0L V-6 TDI engines. For the first time Audi will be using GTL fuel provided by Shell. The gas-to-liquid diesel fuel is produced from natural gas and allows the fuel consumption to be reduced by 10 percent compared to the cars used last year. Unlike conventional petroleum diesel, the GTL fuel has no sulfur or aromatic compounds. Some of the benefits of GTL diesel include a 93 percent drop in carbon monoxide emissions, and a 30 percent cut in NOx emissions with no engine modifications. The chauffeur fleet is expected to emit 13 percent less CO2 this year than in 2007. Audi has already been using GTL diesel in the R10 TDI Le Mans racers for the past two seasons. [Source: Audi, thanks to Christian for the tip] Audi fleet at the World Economic Forum:13 percent lower CO2...

Socio-economic problem affecting business climate of India
2007-12-06 05:19:00 By Vipin Agnihotri The socio-economic problem of India is well affecting the business climate of India at global forums too. It is worth mentioning in this regard that this year, India slipped to 48th position in the World Economic Forum?s Global Competitiveness Index and to 31st position in Business Competitiveness Index. Point to be noted here is that these rankings are largely affected by the socio-economic parameters such as sustainable national prosperity and the political and social context of the nation. Sustainable national prosperity is calculated by taking into account the per capita GDP. In my opinion, intensive usage of technology, its generation and the incidence of technology transfer to India is worth appreciating but the penetration and implementation of the latest technologies are still quite low when you compare it with international standards. No one will argue with the fact that this low penetration had led to low levels of per capita income, which eventual...

2007-09-23 19:06:00 From September 6-8 the World Economic Forum held its meeting of New Champions in Dalian, which is one of China’s newest champions… for investment. A testament to the power of Web 2.0, and the power of the internet, the entire summit has been put on Youtube, at the World Economic Forum Youtube Channel. With 22 videos, roughly 20 hours of showing, one would need a weekend of non-stop broadband and Starbucks to watch the entire summit worth of videos…. However, I do suggest spending some time watching those that you feel are most pertinent to your organization or your own interest. Overall, the discussions themselves are very interesting, and if there is one theme that I see throughout is that the level of Chinese panelists was much higher than the foreign side (on average). As Rebecca McKinnon pointed out in her analysis of the Soft Power debate, Thomas Friedman was out of his element.. and his comfort zone…. and he was not the only one. As I have spoken o...
