May 21, 2008 04:30 AM Caroline Mallan In London Robert Benzie In Toronto Some tourists go to Italy for great deals on Gucci or Prada garb, but Premier Dalton McGuinty is hoping to bring back a far more valuable souvenir. McGuinty is meeting today in Turin with senior officials from auto giant Fiat in a bid to secure a new car plant that would aid Ontario's struggling manufacturing sector. "We've heard that Fiat has at least a high-level interest in a new North American assembly plant, so I'm going to meet with them directly, let them know that if they are contemplating doing that, we are very interested and we bring a lot to the table," the premier said in London. "We've got the best auto workers in North America, we've got a wonderful centre of excellence when it comes to auto production and some of the spinoffs that flow from that, and we've got a government that has been aggressively pursuing auto investment for nearly five years now," he said. "I know that there's lots of competition. We're just going to go there and give it our best shot. We'll see what comes from that." McGuinty said Fiat has not set a deadline for its new factory, which will likely build high-end Alfa Romeo cars for the lucrative North American market, but emphasized Ontario auto workers have experience making luxury automobiles. He noted the province is the only place outside Japan where Toyota manufactures Lexus vehicles. While McGuinty declined to say whom at Fiat he is meeting, the company's CEO is Sergio Marchionne, an Italian-Canadian raised in Toronto and educated there and in Windsor. Marchionne is credited with a spectacular turnaround at Fiat, which also owns Ferrari, Maserati and Lancia. But Economic Development and Trade Minister Sandra Pupatello said yesterday the CEO's Canadian connections are unlikely to boost Ontario's chances of landing a new factory. That's why McGuinty will be selling the province's merits as the largest auto-making jurisdiction in North America and touting the Highway 401 "auto belt" that stretches from Windsor to Oshawa. "We have five of the top world auto makers in Ontario and there's no other jurisdiction that can boast that," said Pupatello, referring to General Motors, Toyota, Ford, Honda, and Chrysler. "These top guys understand why clusters are so important because at the end it's about the workforce," she said from Windsor. Another improbable Ontario advantage is climate – even against the U.S. "sunbelt" states expected to seek the Alfa Romeo plant. "Are you going in a tornado zone or are you going where there's a consistent climate that hasn't lost one day of production because of the weather?" said Pupatello. The province's auto industry has been hit by bad news lately. Last week, General Motors said it will close its Windsor transmission plant, ending 1,400 jobs, in 2010. Last month, the firm said 1,000 workers at its Oshawa truck plant will lose their jobs in September

c' è dell'altro, visto che riesci a tradurre puoi valutare se ci sono notizie interessanti.Alfa Chef de Meo: SUV-Einstieg 2010 Wirtschaft + Handel bei auto motor und sport

non ho la minima idea se aggiunga altro.

De meo su AMS. Wie viele Händler wollen Sie dort installieren - und wo? De Meo: Es ist zu früh dazu etwas Konkretes zu sagen. Wir haben die wesentlichen Entscheidungen noch nicht getroffen. Ich bin erst seit wenigen Wochen auf diesem Posten und möchte mir die Strategie noch einmal genau anschauen. In Sachen Produkt-Strategie ist ziemlich klar, was wir brauchen: Automatik-Getriebe, Sechs-Zylinder-Triebwerke, Limousinen und SUV. Nun ist es unsere Aufgabe zu sehen, was wir in welcher Zeit machen können. Welches Marketing-Budget planen Sie ein, um die Marke in den USA bekannt zu machen? De Meo: Alfa Romeo ist keine Marke, mit der wir ein übermäßiges Marketing-Budget einplanen müssen. Die Marke ist weltweit bekannt. Der CX-over kommt erst Mitte 2010. Macht es Sinn, den US-Vertrieb zu starten, bevor dieser SUV verfügbar ist? De Meo: Für mich macht es Sinn, mit einem vollständigen Portfolio anzutreten. Aber wie gesagt: Details kann ich Ihnen noch nicht nennen. Vergangenes Jahr haben Sie weltweit 142.000 Einheiten verkauft. Was planen Sie dieses Jahr? De Meo: Unseren Absatz wollen wir dieses Jahr bei rund 142.000 Einheiten stabil halten - so wie schon im Vorjahr. Und das wäre eine gute Performance, weil unser Werk zwei Monate geschlossen war.

Saab è all'ultimo appello, tentano la strada del marchio prettamente ecologico e inoltre avremo una maggiore simbiosi proprio con OPEL. pianale DELTA II (futura astra) per 9-3 . 9-1 , epsilon II per 9-5, ecotec 1.4 turbo per saab per 9-1

manco hanno realizzato una plancia ad hoc per la delta ,tu vuoi l'impossibile.

aggiungo sempre da leftlane. The primary engineering and development will come from GMDAT — General Motor’s Korean partner (although there will still be a strong input from the North American and European planning groups). The next Cobalt will share many components as well as styling features with the next Daewoo Lacetti, including a large portion of sheetmetal. Obviously Chevrolet’s Cobalt and the Daewoo Lacetti will not be 100% identical, as each will have different styling cues on the front and rear clips, headlamps and taillights, although these prototypes do appear to have a grille that strongly resembles the new Malibu and upcoming Transverse. Chevrolet will also offer another version for markets outside of the United States, know as the Optra. In addition to these, there will likely be up to 15 different cars for GM’s global markets based on this new “Global Delta” architecture. Codenamed GMX071, the next Cobalt will begin production in July or August of 2009 at the Lordstown plant. The coupe and sedan will carry the same name, but the coupe is expected to carry a sportier look with a turbo option. May 20, 2008

inoltre il marchio vuole posizionarsi in una fascia di mercato più alta relegando SATURN e CHEVROLET in una fascia più bassa nonostante che in alcuni mercati vengano offerti modelli cloni o realizzati usando i suoi prodotti come base. Non intende certamente insidiare da vicino mercedes e bmw ma offrirà prodotti molto simili come prezzi,la forbice sarà compresa tra l'1 e il 3 %,l'investimento da parte di GM di ben 14 miliardi di dollari e il lancio di 20 modelli entro il 2012 giustifica tutto ciò secondo la casa anericana.

buona lettura, tratto da WARDS. Diesel-Led PSA Developing Small Gasoline Engine By William Diem WardsAuto.com, May 19, 2008 9:42 AM PARIS – A new small gasoline engine under development by PSA Peugeot Citroen marks a significant change in strategy for the auto maker, which is the recognized leader in European diesel engines. The French auto maker plans to build 1.2 million 1.0L gasoline engines annually staring in 2013, more than 25% of its intended production of 4 million cars. The new engine is expected to emit less than 100 g/km of carbon-dioxide, in PSA’s small cars such as the Peugeot 107 and Citroen C1. Because it will burn gasoline instead of diesel fuel, it will meet Euro 5 and Euro 6 emissions mandates at a considerably lower cost than diesels requiring particulate filters and oxides of nitrogen traps. PSA says the engine will enable the auto maker, currently the leader in the low CO2-emitting vehicle segment, to maintain its competitive advantage. The aim is to offer vehicles with CO2 emissions below 100 g/km with no additional technology. Up to now, PSA has emphasized the contribution to CO2 reduction made by its diesel engines, so the investment shift to gasoline is an important signal that it foresees a similar change in the market. Aftertreatment for future diesel engines could double their cost disadvantage compared with gasoline engines – currently about €1,000 ($.1,548 ). Plus, the price of diesel in Europe is rising at service stations faster than gasoline prices due to high demand and limited refining capacity. New engine to emit less than 100 g/km of C02 in small cars such as Peugeot 107 (above) and Citroen C1. PSA apparently sees a reversal in demand for diesel engines, which have grabbed market share from gasoline engines over the last two decades and now account for 53.3% of the new-car market, according to the ACEA, the European automotive trade association. Sales of diesel-powered light vehicles rose 5% to 7.8 million units in 2007, while deliveries of gasoline versions fell 4% to 6.9 million. PSA’s decision to develope the new 3-cyl. gasoline mill on its own is significant. The auto maker’s current diesels were developed with Ford Motor Co. under PSA leadership, _WHILE ITS SMALL GAS MILLS WERE DEVELOPED WITH BMW AG, UNDER BMW LEADERSHIP_ . Toyota Motor Corp. provides the 3-cyl. gasoline engines for the C1 and Peugeot 107. It is not known whether PSA approached BMW about a joint development, but BMW is unlikely to have an interest in such a small engine. The 1.4L/1.6L mills the two auto makers developed together only have been offered in the Mini up to now, although BMW is expected to offer them in the 1-Series. Automotive consultant Jean-Michel Prillieux, of Mavel SA in France, says PSA wants to rebuild its image as a leading engine developer. “It has been a champion of diesels, and it wants to be champion of a new generation of gasoline engines.” The new gasoline engine will be turbocharged and produce 70 hp to 100 hp in different versions. The entry-level version will weigh no more than 132 lbs. (60 kg), some 55 lbs. (25 kg) less than PSA’s smallest engine today. The weight reduction fits with the auto maker’s announced intention to reduce the mass of future vehicles, and the horsepower is intended to offer similar performance in PSA’s small cars while reducing fuel consumption. Besides the C1 and 107 built in cooperation with Toyota at Kolin, Czech Republic, the new gas engine will be fitted to PSA’s Platform 1 cars that include the Peugeot 208 and Citroen C2 and C3. It also may be used in the small light-commercial vehicles PSA builds with Fiat Automobiles SpA in Bursa, Turkey – the Citroen Nemo and Peugeot Bipper. PSA will construct two assembly plants for the new gas engine. One will be in Tremery, France, where it manufactures its diesel and gasoline engines now. Tremery, founded in 1979, builds the 2.0L/2.2L DW diesels and the 1.4L/1.6L EW gasoline mills. In 2007, the plant produced 1.74 million engines. The addition of 600,000 engines in 2011 will add 500 employees to the current 4,100 workforce. The other plant will be located in Eastern Europe to be close to PSA’s Czech and Turkish factories, as well as its Platform 1 assembly facility in Slovakia. PSA is considering four countries: Romania, Turkey, Ukraine and Poland. The auto maker says it will make a choice by the end of the year and open the plant in 2012. Each plant will involve an investment of €300 million ($450 million). PSA’s choice of a major investment in France pleases French politicians and newspapers. A PSA spokesman says Tremery was chosen because it is a world-class plant with competitive costs. Its engine lines are organized in the same way for each product. One side has machining lines for principal components such as cylinder heads, crankcase, piston rods and crankshafts. The engine assembly line is located on the opposite side. Between the two highly automated lines are the maintenance workshops.

la batteria resterà di tipo non comune (agm) ma nel proseguo delle applicazioni della filosofia EFFICIENT DYNAMICS sarà affiancata, in serie, ad una serie di condensatori che forniranno carica ,tramite un convertitore cc-cc ,alla batteria. Sarà necessario il loro ausilio per sfruttare appieno la sopra citata E.D, visto che durante il funzionamento dell' EPS , da solo, oppure in combinazione con gli altri apparati si potrebbero manifestare cadute di tensione di un certo rilievo ( tensione sotto carico 11 v), inoltre la loro introduzione aumenterà l'efficienza della frenata rigenerativa e della tecnologia microibrida.
