short info about Renault India as given on its official website

Renault Logo

On March 17, Renault-Nissan Alliance Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn inaugurated Chennai plant with the presence of representatives of state government of Tamil Nadu. The first dedicated Alliance global plant will have a production capacity of up to 400,000 units per year. It will operate in full compliance with Alliance global manufacturing processes and quality standards. Its production management system, launched for the first time at any plant of Renault and Nissan, is based on mutual knowledge sharing and the best practices from both companies

At the AutoExpo 2010 (in New Delhi), Renault announced its will to introduce a full range in India in a 4 years timeframe. Most of these vehicles will be produced in Chennai. Fluence et Koleos models will be launched in 2011. An extensive distribution network through the country will be completed before August 2012. A minimum of 35 cities will be covered (14 were opened as of May 2011). In addition, a Sales & Marketing team was organized within Renault India.

These elements demonstrate Renault's ambitious strategy for the indian car market. For the record, Renault entered the Indian market in 2005 when it signed a partnership with Mahindra & Mahindra. In April 2010, this partenership was restructured so M&M is now responsible for the management of the Logan in the Indian market. Renault will continue to support M&M and the product through a License Agreement and supply of key components, including the engine and transmission.

To Prevent Car Thefts, The Home Minister wants a GPS tracker in every car.

rules-that-ensure-that-all
four-wheelers-have-a-GPS-tracker.

I hope this move will be welcomed by all vechical owners :)

As thefts go up, RR wants a GPS tracker in every car

Over 5,000 vehicles are stolen in Mumbai every year and less than 600 recovered. The Home Minister has now told the transport department not to issue fresh registrations to vehicles without the device

With car thefts on the rise and recovery statistics falling alarmingly, the government is on the verge of making GPS trackers mandatory in all four-wheelers registered in the state.

Home Minister RR Patil, after reviewing motor-vehicle theft numbers (on an average 2,000 are stolen in Mumbai each year and only 600 found), has asked the Transport Authority to not issue registration papers for all new cars not fitted with a global positioning system. He has asked for rules to be framed in this regard, and for them to be implemented at the earliest.

A GPS tracker, not to be confused with a GPS navigator installed for the drivers’ convenience, costs approximately Rs 4,000. It maps the latitude and longitude of the vehicle at all times, and relays that information to owners on their mobile phones via sms.

Car theft statistics reveal that some luxury four-wheelers, such as the Scorpio and the Pajero, are the favourites of thieves, who sell them with forged documents in some states in northIndia.

“We’ve been demanding that the five BMC octroi posts in Mumbai be equipped with CCTV cameras so that any vehicle being moved out could be captured on CCTV along with its driver. But the response from BMC has been lukewarm. Hence we want car owners to take initiative and install GPS,” said an officer from the Traffic police, who asked not to be named.

working-of-a-car-GPS-tracker

Police sources said car thieves had been improvising their modus operandi and skills, making it difficult to trace stolen vehicles. “There are multiple gangs involved nowadays in the process. So even if we catch one, the remaining leads cannot be traced,” he added.

Mumbai Police had written to prominent car manufacturers last year, asking them to take certain precautions regarding the lock and keys of cars. But the car manufacturers did not revert back to them.

Cops said another problem was lack of support from insurance companies, which paid the owners in cases of theft and did not bother to pursue tracing the stolen car.

Two months ago, approximate 250 cars from across Maharashtra were recovered in Rajasthan, but only a handful were claimed by insurance firms.

Apart from cars, 3,000 two-wheelers are stolen in the city each year, and only 1,000 are found.Transport Commissioner Dilip Jadhav, in a high-level meeting with the Chief Minister all evening, was unavailable for comment.

How GPS tracker works

• The device captures the GPS location information apart from other vehicle information at regular intervals to a central server.

• If the vehicle is stolen, you and cops can locate your car from any computer with an Internet connection.

• You can even immobilise your car sitting on a computer from anywhere in the World.

• The other vehicle information of a GPS device include fuel amount, engine temperature, altitude, door open/close, tire pressure, cut off fuel, battery status, and a lot more

Le Mans 24 Hours 2011 -results & post review-quick recap

Le Mans 24 Hours 2011; From Disaster to Triumph for Audi

Audi turn disaster into triumph and win the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The 79th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours was a real rollercoaster ride for the Audi Sport team. The 2011 race had extreme lows during the race, but ended on the best possible high when the No. 2 Audi Sport Team Joest car crossed the line to win at Le Mans. The combination of young drivers, Marcel Fässler, André Lotterer & Benoit Tréluyer took the chequered flag a nail biting 14 seconds ahead of the next nearest car; The Peugeot 908.

It seems a long time ago, but 56 cars started the race in dry conditions on Saturday afternoon in front of packed grandstands and viewing areas all around the circuit. After a hectic fist lap where cars were 3 abreast along the Mulsanne straight, things began to settle with the 3 Audis setting the early pace and the Peugeots pushing them all the way.

Le-Mans-2011-start

Disaster struck the Aston Martin Racing LMP1 effort very early. Having completed a mere 6 laps between then both the 007 & 009 AMR-Ones were officially retired. This race came a year too early for this project. After 10 and 11 laps in race conditions the leaders were coming in for their fist pit stops. This was a sign of things to come as the quicker Audis pitted a lap before the Peugeots.

Just before the hour mark there was a major accident. Silence fell over the whole circuit after the No. 3 Audi, with fan favourite Allan McNish at the wheel, clipped the Luxury Racing Ferrari near the Dunlop chicane. The minimal impact between the two cars was enough to send the Audi off the track at great speed. The car bounced across the gravel and impacted against the tire wall with great force, scattering photographers fearing for their lives. In the Audi garage hands were on heads and jaws were on the floor as emotional commentators described the wreckage. Everyone feared the worst. Marshalls were quickly on the scene and managed to pull the remains of the car out from the tyres. There was cheers and applause of relief as McNish himself climbed out of the remains. Clearly in shock and bruised it was an amazing escape. (As a precaution McNish was taken to hospital for checks and later returned to the circuit).

The race continued for over an hour behind the 3 safety cars as the barriers were repaired. Once the green flag was waved the battle commenced again with Audi and Peugeot racing through the traffic at speed. The diesels quickly opened up a large gap between themselves and the chasing petrol powered cars and the lead changed at every pit stop between the Peugeots and Audis. The strategies were clear. Audi were going for outright speed, whilst the Peugeots were opting for a more conservative approach and hoping their better fuel economy would see them develop a lead over time. The reality was, neither team could build a sufficient lead, all 5 cars were on the lead lap and the see-saw of leaders continued in to the night.

Le-Mans-2011

As darkness fell little problems befell the leaders. Peugeot’s Mark Gene had issues with a door catch and Audis drivers complained that the GTE class traffic was getting in the way and making overtaking dangerous. These were prophetic words.
Having secured an Audi 1-2 Mike Rockenfeller was putting in some quick laps. However just after the Mulsanne Corner, the No.1 Audi swerved to the right whilst overtaking a Ferrari GTE car. The Audi hit the barriers head on, disintegrating on impact. The spinning wreckage hit barriers either side of the road before coming to halt in a shower of carbon fibre. Only the safety cell around the driver was left visible as part of the car. Once again silence befell a shocked track. Marshalls were on the scene immediately and medical assistance was called for. In the darkness of this part of the track it was unclear what had happened to Mike Rockenfeller, however word was relayed back that amazingly Rockenfeller himself had climbed out of the cockpit remains and hauled himself over the nearest barrier. He was later removed on stretcher and taken by ambulance to the medical centre and then to hospital. This was another miraculous escape as Rockenfeller only suffered bruising and a cut to his arm.

The resultant safety cars remained on track for nearly 2½ hours as the barriers were repaired and the wreckage removed. Even the safety cars needed refuelling during this extended period.

Le-Mans-2011

Once the race went green the sole remaining Audi was heading the field but the 3 Peugeots were soon hunting him down. The Oreca Matmut Peugeot had an off and managed to return to the pit with what appeared substantial damage, however the car returned within 15 minutes following sterling work in the garage.

Just before dawn the race was halted again following a crash involving the No. 13 Rebellion Racing Lola at the Porsche Curves. The driver, Jean-Christophe Boullion walked away with minor bruising the car fared less well. There was also further safety car hold ups when the No. 48 Oreca Nissan left the circuit and the Luxury Racing Ferraris both retired.

Once racing began in earnest again, the cool air helped the lead cars start to find very quick times. Andre Lotterer in the Audi and Sebastien Bourdais in the lead Peugeot lead the way as all the diesels went under 3 minutes 30 seconds on a regular basis. The quickest times set were even quicker than the pole qualifying time set on Thursday evening.

Le-Mans-2011

As the sun came up so the safety car came back out. This time the leading Corvette collided with the Felbernayr-Proton Porsche causing both cars to retire, but from the moment racing was on again the fight between Peugeot and Audi was on again. Over the next few hours the lead changed consistently at each pit stop between the leading Peugeot and the Audi. Neither team could gain supremacy. The No. 8 Peugeot dropped off the leading two cars after being called in for a stop-go penalty and the No.7 Peugeot fell behind after coming off the circuit at Indianapolis. This left a head to head race between the remaining No. 2 Audi and the No. 9 Peugeot. The other Peugeots were however going to play a part going in to the last few hours.

Following an amazing five stint run with Treluyer at the wheel the baton was passed to Lotterer who continued the good work. Treluyer had encountered problems trying to pass Anthony Davidson in the No. 7 Peugeot even though he was now a lap behind the Audi. Allegations of blocking were waved away by Peugeot.

Le-Mans-2011

Moving in to the last few hours there was a further twist as rain began to fall around the famous Le Mans circuit. Although having to reduce speed dramatically Lotterer’s Audi stayed out on slicks, but the Peugeot of Pagenaud appeared to cope better and any lead that the Audi had built up was soon being eaten away. The No. 8 Peugeot did change to intermediate tyres but the on-off showers never really allowed them to have much effect.

The relationship between the two rivals hit a new low when Lotterer’s Audi, then in the lead, approached the No. 8 Peugeot of Mark Gene. Despite being 4 laps down, the Peugeot refused to let the faster Audi pass and on one occasion nearly forced the quicker Audi off the track. Accusations of more blocking were being thrown when finally Lotterer managed to make a pass and keep his lead. After the previous accidents the dangerous driving of Gene was not appreciated.

The Audi could never quite shake the presence of the stalking No. 9 Peugeot and going in to the last hour the gap was only seconds. However, the Audi was now staying ahead even when trading pit stops.

With minutes remaining the Audi pulled in for its last pit stop. With everyone predicting a quick splash and dash for the finish line, it was a surprise to see the Audi mechanics change tyres as well. Peugeot decided to pit at the same time but chose not to change tyres in an attempt to get out ahead of the leading Audi. Their attempt was in vain and the Audi managed to exit the pit lane a rather close 7 seconds ahead of the Peugeot.

Le-Mans-2011-winner-Audi-Andre-Lotterer

From here it was a straight race for the line and although the Peugeot kept the gap steady it could never get up behind the Audi. And so at 3pm on Sunday 12th June 2011 the No. 2 Audi, driven by Andre Lotterer, crossed the line to win the Le Mans 24 Hours. Peugeot showed what a great car they have by finishing in 2nd, 3rd and 4th but the disappointment was there for all to see.

It was an emotional win for Audi made all the more poignant by the absence of their team mates Allan McNish and Mike Rockenfeller who were both recovering from their horrendous accidents. Audi definitely had the quicker car. Peugeot had the more economic car. In the end outright pace won the Le Mans 24 Hours 2011.

ALL-NEW-2012-VW-BEETLE-INTERIOR

Official Press Release

Wolfsburg / Shanghai / Berlin / New York – When the first Beetle rolled off the production line, it was called simply the Volkswagen — “the people’s car” — but its distinctive shape inspired nicknamesacross the globe: Beetle, Käfer, Vocho, Coccinelle, Fusca, Maggiolino or ???! In total, 21.5 million cars were sold.

More than 60 years later, in 1998, the “New Beetle” rekindled the spirit and imagination of the original to a new generation of Volkswagen owners. The second generation version sparked another round of uplifting and joyous enthusiasm known as Beetle Mania.

Today, the Beetle opens a new chapter in its remarkable story. The third generation of the internationally beloved Beetle is celebrating a transcontinental world debut simultaneously in Shanghai, Berlin and New York.

Updating an icon

Only someone who knows and respects the Beetle’s heritage could produce a new generation of this storied vehicle. The task for Volkswagen engineers was clear. They had to develop a modern interpretation of the Beetle, with all the benefits of today’s technologies and efficiencies, and the driving characteristics that define the Volkswagen brand. The result had to remain affordable and stay true to the Beetle’s spirit and great heritage.

The design of the new Beetle presented another challenge. How does one reinvent a look that is so recognizable and unique? Volkswagen Group Design Chief Walter de Silva and Volkswagen Brand Design Chief, Klaus Bischoff, welcomed the task and set an ambitious objective: “Design a new original!”

The designers wanted to develop the new car around the earliest Beetle profile rather than the 1998 New Beetle. They wanted a car that respects the past but looks toward the future. And that is what they created.

Exterior

The 2012 Beetle is an automotive icon reinvented. Placing the original Beetle and the 21st Century Beetle next to one another, it’s clear that the lines of the rear sections are nearly identical, but the overall look is bolder and more dynamic. The Beetle also breaks free of the design geometry defined by three semi-circles (front wing, rear wing, domed roof above it).

“The Beetle is now characterized by a clean, self-confident and dominant sportiness. The car not only has a lower profile; it is also substantially wider, the front hood is longer, the front windshield is shifted further back and has a much steeper incline. All of this creates a new dynamism,” explains Klaus Bischoff.

The 2012 Beetle is 71.2 inches wide (3.3 inches wider), 58.5 inches tall (.5 inches lower) and 168.4 inches long (6 inches longer). The new focal point is the C-pillar. The development team also increased the car’s track widths and wheelbase. All of this gives the Beetle a powerful appearance with muscular tension.

Another feature is the rear spoiler that is integrated into the design (standard on 2.0L TSI engines with 200 hp). The top surface of the rear spoiler is black, while the underside is painted in body color.

The Beetle is sportier, offering both turbo-charged TDI® Clean Diesel and turbo-charged gasoline engines, in addition to dual exhaust, performance-handling packages, 19-inch wheels, sport seats and new, sleeker styling. Volkswagen will offer a panoramic roof, a range of audio options, including the Fender® Premium Audio System, and a customization program for the 2012 Beetle with a large number of personalization options, including a wide variety of colors and wraps along with an annual theme model.

Interior

The 21st Century Beetle offers an agile, driver-oriented coupe experience with a quality of materials that goes beyond all class limits. The car’s styling, ergonomics and quality interact to create a new, friendly car with a highly individual nature.

The shape and use of color in the painted or carbon-look dashboards harkens back to the design of the first Beetle.

Three round instrument gauges are arranged in front of the driver (tachometer, speedometer, fuel gauge) providing all key information at a glance. A multifunction display is integrated in the speedometer in middle position. The steering wheel is specially designed with optional painted accents in the spokes depending on the equipment line.

Framed by two air vents, the selected audio/navigation system is optimally located in the driver’s visual field on the dashboard. Within easy reach, climate controls are situated just below.

Similar to the original Beetle, the new car has an extra glove box integrated into the dash. The lid folds upward, while the standard glove box opens downward. Another classic feature: the optional auxiliary instruments above the selected audio/navigation system: oil temperature, clock with stopwatch function and boost pressure gauge.

The “cathedral ceiling” dome roof of the New Beetle has been replaced with a sleek and sporty roofline. Front and rear passenger headroom remains plentiful. In the rear seating area, the longer roof section results in more space. The trunk is significantly larger, offering 10.9 cubic feet of space. A split-folding rear seat and a wide opening trunk lid ease loading and unloading.

Engine and Transmission

The 2012 Beetle will offer three engines: the 2.5L gasoline five cylinder, the 2.0L TDI® Clean Diesel and the 2.0L TSI® turbocharged gasoline engine. Transmission choices will include a 5-speed manual or optional 6-speed automatic on 2.5L models. Volkswagen’s acclaimed DSG® 6-speed dual-clutch transmission will be offered on the TDI Clean Diesel and 2.0L TSI turbocharged gasoline models, while a 6-speed manual will come standard.

The 2012 Beetle 2.0L TDI Clean Diesel is the most fuel-efficient Beetle ever. The quiet, four cylinder 2.0L TDI Clean Diesel engine produces 140 hp and 236 lb.-ft of torque. It meets all U.S. emission limits and offers manufacturer estimates of 40 mpg highway, 29 mpg city, and 33 mpg combined.

Fuel economy values are also improved up to 10 percent over prior 2.5L five cylinder engine models. Mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, it offers manufacturer estimates of 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. The optional 6-speed automatic offers manufacturer estimates of 22 mpg city, 29 mpg highway. The five cylinder engine produces 170 hp and 177 lb.-ft of torque.

The Beetle 2.0L TSI is the sportiest model offered. With 200 hp and 207 lb.-ft of torque, power delivery will remain smooth and direct across the rpm range. The four cylinder turbo engine is estimated to provide 30 mpg highway fuel economy. To ensure that power is applied properly in challenging conditions, the 2.0L TSI model features the XDS® cross differential (limited-slip) system. The system electronically monitors input from various wheel sensors and, in the event of slippage, transfers extra torque to the wheel or wheels with the most traction.

Premium Features

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle will be available in two trim lines “Design” and “Sport.” Each has a unique character. The Beetle can also be customized with a wide choice of optional features. Key features include:

Radio-CD and radio-navigation systems. Standard in the Beetle is the RCD 310 sound system with 8 speakers (includes dual tuner). The premium VIII top audio system is the RCD 510 with integrated CD changer, interface for SD cards and touchscreen. For the first time ever, navigation will be offered in the Beetle, with the RNS 315 featuring a 5-inch touchscreen, CD player and SD card slot.

Panoramic roof. The transparent, panoramic tilt/slide glass sunroof is 80 percent larger than on the previous model. The insulating glass blocks 99 percent of UV radiation and 92 percent of heat energy.

Fender Premium Audio System. The 2012 Beetle will also offer concert quality sound with an optional Fender Premium Audio System equipped with an additional subwoofer and 400 watts of output power. Embedded in the vehicle design is proprietary Panasonic® speaker technology. The system covers the cabin with directional sound from front door speakers that generate imaging beyond the capabilities of traditional speaker designs. It cuts through the noise and other distractions with front dual voice coil speakers, with extended range for all musical genres. Those choosing this sound system also receive adjustable interior ambiance lighting.

Keyless Access. Volkswagen’s automatic keyless entry and starting system, which allows the driver to operate without a door or ignition key,is appearing for the first time in the Beetle. When one of the front door handles is touched, the system detects access authorization from a transmitter, then unlocks the Beetle and starts the engine with the push of a button.

BI-XENONTM headlights and LED daytime running lights. For the first time, the Beetle will be offered with Bi-xenon headlights. These will be available on future Beetle models, framing the xenon module on the outer perimeters of the headlights and serving as the daytime running lights and parking lights.

Safety

The 2012 Beetle features both active and passive safety. It includes Volkswagen’s advanced Intelligent Crash Response System, which initiates automatic safety protection in some types of collisions — the electrical supply to the fuel pump is shut off, the doors unlock and the hazard lights switch on. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is standard, as are driver and front passenger airbags and Side Curtain Protection® airbags in front and rear.

The 21st Century Beetle is also covered under the no-charge Carefree Maintenance Program. All scheduled maintenance is covered for the length of the New Vehicle Warranty – three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Additionally, all current Volkswagen vehicles use synthetic oil, which, when combined with state-of-the-art German engineering, eliminates the need for a 5,000 mile oil change, and allows owners to go farther between scheduled oil changes.

Volkswagen of America, Inc.

Founded in 1955, Volkswagen of America, Inc. is headquartered in Herndon, Virginia. It is a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. Volkswagen is one of the world’s largest producers of passenger cars and Europe’s largest automaker.

All 2011 Volkswagen vehicles come standard-equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
