Puzzeled to find online insurance?

Hi,

It is very hard at present time to find a good insurance for some one. If you got the one help to others…

PHILIPPINE AUTO PARTS MAKERS TO PRODUCE PINOY ELECTRIC JEEPNEY

MANILA, Jan 25 Asia Pulse – The Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturers Association of the Philippines, Inc. (MVPMAP) comprising local auto parts makers on Thursday said they will be locally designing, developing and manufacturing 44 units of electric jeepney.

These electric jeepneys will be distributed to selected cities identified by the Green Renewable Independent Power Producer, Inc. (GRIPP).

Chosen as pilot areas for the program are Bacolod City, which has received four units of the electric jeepney for pilot testing and Makati City with two electric jeepneys.

MVPMAP and its Filipino engineers will design, develop and produce the local version of the electric jeepney under its Philippine Utility Vehicle (PhUV) Program and will call it the ‘e-PhUV’.

Unlike the initial six China versions which were just bigger and modified versions of a golf cart, the local e-PhUV will be a replica of a real PUJ as the Pinoy icon that Filipinos are familiar with.

MVPMAP has decided to make the electric jeepney as part of its PhUV Program since it is already included in the 2007 Investments Priority Program (IPP) of the Board of Investments.

This will qualify all assemblers and local parts suppliers participating in the PhUV program to various incentives such as income tax holiday and duty free importations of raw materials and capital equipment.

Whatever parts and components for the e-PhUV that cannot be produced locally will be imported while MVPMAP members will supply the local parts to complete the e-PhUV.

MVPMAP expects to present the prototype to GRIPP by the end of February 2008. Mass production will then commence after the prototype is tested and approved.

Outside of the initial 44 units ordered by GRIPP, MVPMAP is also targeting sales of the e-PhUV to entities which have shown early interest in the vehicle.

Among these are other local government units not part of GRIPP’s Climate Friendly Cities Program, homeowners’ associations of exclusive villages, resorts, schools, industrial zones, theme parks, golf courses, malls and even federations of jeepney operators and drivers.

They are attracted by the relatively low operating cost of an e-PhUV compared to a conventional diesel or gasoline powered jeepney.

It can be charged overnight for eight to 10 hours at a cost of approximately P200 (US$4.87) using an ordinary wall outlet.

It can then be operated for as much as 100 kilometres thereafter, thus costing only about P2 per km. to operate. This is about half the operating cost of a diesel or gasoline powered jeepney.

Under GRIPP’s Climate Friendly Cities Program, the e-PhUV will just be one of its three major components. In fact, it will just be a beneficiary of the product of the two other major components.

These two are a small power plant which is a biodigester using biological wastes from nearby households and commercial establishments and a depot to serve as the charging station and terminal for the e-PhUV units.

To supply fuel to the biodigester, it will become imperative for Local Government Units to implement the Waste Segregation Program as mandated by law, so that the biodegradable wastes can be converted into electric power at the e-PhUV depot.

Thus, only the non-biodegradable wastes will be sent to the dump site.

The entire Climate Friendly Cities Program will therefore complement the Waste Segregation Program of the government, convert biodegradable household wastes into electric power, then use this electric power to charge and operate smoke-free electric jeepneys to provide transport in an environment-friendly public transport system and help save the environment.

GRIPP is a partnership spearheaded by Greenpeace International organized in pursuit of its Climate Friendly Cities Program.

It includes MVPMAP and is funded by a Dutch NGO, the DOEN Foundation, which will fund 50 units of the emission-free electric jeepneys for the program.

Detroit Auto Show Draws Excited Fans

Desmond Parks was torn between a sports utility vehicle with high-tech features and a colorful coupe, both by Infiniti.He’s 13 and has plenty of time to choose before he’ll actually drive anything, but he decided he was most impressed by the Infiniti FX45 SUV at the first public day of this year’s North American International Auto Show. “The moving seats, navigation system, steering wheel, XM Radio — I could actually drive this,” he said before running to the next shiny display.

Desmond and his sister Travey Parks, 32, were among the thousands of visitors who flocked to the show in Cobo Hall as temperatures outside were in the teens.

Travey was looking forward to an escape from her leaking 1995 Dodge Neon, what she called a “$500 special.”


“My dream car is a Cadillac,” she said. “Any kind of Cadillac.”

First-timer Mitchell Mattice liked the Jeep display and concept cars.

“The Jeep display with the waterfall blew me away,” said Mattice, 30, of Omaha, Neb. “The auto show back home is nowhere near the size or magnitude of this show.”

His brother, Clayton Mattice, 28, of Elkhorn, Neb., was impressed by the Pontiac G8, which had its own spinning platform and presenter. He said the car was aimed more at his generation.

“The style of it and the attention to detail give it a bit more of an edgy feel, but not over the top,” he said.

Mel and Mary Lou Swetland, of Jackson, Mich., tested a model of their current vehicle at the auto show a few years ago. The 71- and 70-year olds returned to check out the new Ford F-150 they’d seen advertised on television.

“Ford impressed me with the step on the back and the step on the side” of the new F-150, Mel Swetland said.

One auto show frequenter was a bit disappointed about the lack of entertainment — other than the vehicles.

“I haven’t been to opening day in forever,” said John Andzelik, of Belleville, Mich., who said he is “thinking green” after seeing hybrids at the auto show.

“It’s a Saturday, it’s opening day, let’s get some excitement going on here.”

The show continues through January 27.

Enhanced cooperation and Mini John Cooper

As AMG inseparably linked with Mercedes, Audi Quattro that has and M GmbH no longer be imagined at BMW will also John Cooper Works an integral part of Mini. Het verhaal is vergelijkbaar met dat van Fiat en Abarth. The story is similar to that of Fiat and Abarth. De Formule 1 technicus John Cooper Works begon in de jaren ’60 met het tunen van de Mini Cooper en ontwikkelde sportpakketten voor het Britse icoon. The Formula 1 engineer John Cooper Works began in the’60s with the tuning of the Mini Cooper and sportpakketten developed for the British icon. Ook tegenwoordig nog worden sportpakketten en accessoires ontwikkeld voor het inmiddels Duitse merk. Also still be sportpakketten and accessories developed for the now German mark. Maar BMW had de behoefte om het tuningsprogramma te integreren binnen de productontwikkeling van Mini en kocht vorig jaar de rechten op het label. But BMW had tuningsprogramma the need to integrate within the product development of Mini and last year bought the rights to the label. Daarmee worden de banden nauwer aangetrokken. This ignores the closer ties attracted.

Nieuw logo, nieuwe producten New logo, new products
In de toekomst zullen alle producten van het JCW-tuningsprogramma integraal worden ontwikkeld met nieuwe Mini-producten. In the future, all the products of the JCW-tuningsprogramma integral development of new Mini products. De productie van deze modellen zal – net als bij AMG, Quattro en M GmbH – in een aparte fabriek plaatsvinden. The production of these models will – as with AMG, and M Quattro GmbH – in a separate plant. Uiteraard wel volgens de strenge kwaliteitseisen van moederbedrijf BMW. Of course accordance with the stringent quality requirements of parent company BMW. De ommezwaai is onder meer terug te zien in het nieuwe logo. The change is more reflected in the new logo. Bovendien zullen we in de toekomst veel meer JCW-producten en modellen gaan vinden. In addition, we will in the future much more JCW products and models go. Mini tilt daarmee het sportieve imago naar een hoger plan. Mini thereby tilt the sporting image to the next level.
