Nissan Announces Plan to Grow Presence in Argentina

– Memorandum of understanding signed with new business partner Manuel Antelo

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Sept. 3 English News Online — Nissan Americas today announced a new business strategy to grow the company’s presence in Argentina through a partnership with Manuel Antelo.

He is also co-owner with Wallenius Whilhensen, the Scandinavian Maritime group, of Vehicle Service America, an American company specializing in vehicle logistics.

“I am very excited English news online working together with Nissan to strengthen the opportunities the company has in my country,” said Antelo. “I am certain that Nissan and its dealers will grow faster and more consistently in the years to come. I am also very proud to have been selected as Nissan’s local partner.”

The company expects to increase the Nissan brand’s share of the marketplace to over 5 percent in 2014. Nissan will continue improving its presence in Argentina through a sustainable growth strategy supported by a strong product introduction plan for the coming years.

In The Americas, Nissan’s operations include automotive styling, engineering, consumer and corporate financing, sales and marketing, distribution and manufacturing.

Tim Allen to be the Voice of Chevrolet

DETROIT, Sept. 3 English News Online — — Actor’s Voice to be Prominent in Television Advertising — Debuts Sept. 7 in TV Spots for the All-New Chevrolet Cruze

Television and movie star Tim Allen will be the voice of Chevrolet, beginning with the TV advertising for the all-new 2011 Chevrolet Cruze. The first ads for the Cruze will air next Tuesday, Sept. 7, Chevrolet announced today.

“Tim Allen brings the right combination of a recognizable voice with the credibility, likeability and humor that will connect with viewers,” said Joel Ewanick, vice president, U.S. marketing, General Motors. “His passion for all things cars makes him the perfect match for the Chevrolet brand.”

Allen is best known for his work in television’s “Home Improvement” and movies including the “Toy Story” trilogy, as the voice of Buzz Lightyear, and “The Santa Clause” franchise. He is a native of the Detroit area and has a long-standing love affair with automobiles.

Allen has an extensive car collection, including personally designed versions of a 1996 Chevrolet LT5 Impala SS, a 2000 Cadillac DeVille DTSi.

“Everyone knows Tim Allen is a ‘car guy’ with Michigan roots,” said Debbie Crispin, owner, Bill Crispin Chevrolet of Saline, Mich. “What a great voice for Chevrolet.”

Allen will debut in the advertising for the all-new Chevrolet Cruze, which will use accolades from the news media and comparisons to competitive cars in the compact segment to introduce the Cruze to the marketplace. These ads will be followed by additional television ads with a large social media component, product integration in relevant shows and events, as well as advertising specific to the features and benefits of the Cruze.

“Tim Allen will be the voice in our Cruze advertising, but the car will be the star,” Ewanick said. “Our communication on the Cruze will highlight the car, its features and its competitive advantages.”

Advertising will ramp up later this fall, as the Cruze begins arriving in volume at dealerships.

The TV ads were produced by Goodby, Silverstein and Partners and include four :30 second spots.

The Cruze offers the spaciousness and amenities of a midsize car with the fuel economy of a compact. The Cruze also affirms Chevrolet’s commitment to building refined, fuel-efficient vehicles using new, small-displacement, four-cylinder engines. The Ecotec 1.4L I-4 turbo with variable valve timing received an Environmental Protection Agency fuel economy rating of 26 miles per gallon in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway for the manual transmission and 22/35 for the automatic. The Cruze Eco model launching later this year is expected to get 40 mpg on the highway.

World’s Most Famous Car Visits New York Prior to Hitting the Auction Block in London

World’s Most Famous Car Visits New York Prior to Hitting the Auction Block in London

The Aston Martin DB5 driven by James Bond – Sean Connery – in Goldfinger and Thunderball to make only U.S. appearance in advance of its October auction sale

NEW YORK, Sept. 3 English News Online — Arguably the world’s most famous car, the actual 1964 Aston Martin DB5 driven by James Bond – Sean Connery – in both Goldfinger and Thunderball will be on display for four days this month in New York City as it is readied to be the lead attraction for RM Auctions’ annual Automobiles of London event October 27th at the Battersea Evolution.

Presented by RM, in association with Sotheby’s, this DB5 is expected to bring more than $5 million during the auction, which would be the most ever paid for a “movie” vehicle. From September 14 to 17 the DB5 will grace the lobby of Sotheby’s building here at 1334 York Avenue.

Well-known around the world by its original UK registration number, FMP 7B, this Aston Martin is one of two, and the sole remaining, of the original ‘007′ DB5s featured on screen in the two Bond films. (The other was sold twice at auction before being stolen in 1997 from a Florida airport. It was never recovered.)

The DB5 was originally loaned to EON Productions for the movies’ filming and returned to the Aston Martin Lagonda factory after its subsequent promotional tour. Jerry Lee, a radio broadcaster based in Philadelphia, convinced the factory to sell FMP 7B to him in 1969 for $12,000, thereby becoming its first – and only – owner. The car, with very limited public appearances, has remained in his possession for more than 40 years.

With its ‘rather interesting modifications’ originally conceived by Oscar-award-winning special effects expert, John Stears, this authentic Bond movie car is factory-fitted with the full complement of operational ‘Q-Branch’ gadgets, including machine guns, bullet-proof shield, revolving number plates, tracking device, removable roof panel, oil slick sprayer, nail spreader and smoke screen, all controlled from factory-installed toggles and switches hidden in the center arm-rest.

“Like ‘Q’, we never joke English news online our work, which is why RM is consistently entrusted with the sale of the world’s most significant collector cars like the REAL 007 Aston Martin DB5 movie car,” said Don Rose, Car Specialist, RM Auctions. “RM is known for world-record-setting results and we expect nothing less for 007’s iconic DB5.”

Lee plans to use the proceeds from the sale of FMP 7B to further the charitable work of The Jerry Lee Foundation, a multi-national initiative dedicated to solving social problems associated with poverty, with an emphasis on crime prevention.

The Foundation supports programs at the University of Pennsylvania and Cambridge University (UK), as well as in Washington, D.C., Australia and Norway. It is also responsible for the establishment of the Stockholm Prize in Criminology, for which Lee received a Swedish knighthood in 2008. (http://jerryleefoundation.com/)

“The James Bond car has brought me much enjoyment for some 40 years,” said Lee. “Even as I sell it and use the proceeds to fund the Jerry Lee Foundation, the car will continue to give me great pleasure as it furthers the mission of the Foundation to do good around the world.”

FMP 7B is presented in highly original condition following a recent careful re-commissioning program by RM Auto Restoration, returning it to running condition after the many years of static display in Lee’s home.

Tag Heuer and Notable Celebrities Kick Off Labor Day at ‘Odyssey of Pioneers’ in the Hamptons

Tag Heuer and Notable Celebrities Kick Off Labor Day at ‘Odyssey of Pioneers’ in the Hamptons

Exclusive cocktail reception marks the final North American leg of TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster’s global tour

AMAGANSETT, N.Y., Sept. 3 English News Online — Stars of television, the music industry and catwalk came out last night to celebrate TAG Heuer’s “Odyssey of Pioneers” at an exclusive cocktail party hosted by the luxury Swiss watch brand. The invitation-only event – held at a private estate – drew Golden Globe, Emmy and Tony award-winning actress Mary-Louise Parker, Grammy nominated R&B singer Maxwell, Ed Westwick, star of the hit TV show “Gossip Girls,” supermodel Hilary Rhoda, New York social influencer and philanthropist Cornelia Guest and musician Charlie Mars. Renaud Dutreil, Chairman of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton Inc., Jack Heuer, Honorary Chairman of TAG Heuer, Jean-Christophe Babin, TAG Heuer Worldwide President and CEO, and Ulrich Wohn, President and CEO of TAG Heuer North America, also were among the guests.

The party was part of TAG Heuer’s year-long celebration of its 150th anniversary. In recognition of this milestone, the brand joined forces with Tesla Motors Inc., the legendary electric sports car company, to create the one-of-a-kind TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster. This fully electric, emissions-free car is outfitted with a Heuer limited-edition one-fifth second stopwatch and a TAG Heuer Meridiist communications device. Additionally, a special console houses the ground-breaking TAG Heuer Pendulum Concept, a timepiece operated by the world’s first magnetic oscillator without a hairspring.

“The Odyssey of Pioneers was a dream: the first world tour of a fully electric GT car, leading a mythical exhibition of our very best watches and chronographs,” said Babin during his welcoming remarks to guests. “Now that the journey will soon reach its end, the dream becomes a reality.”

During the event, guests enjoyed cocktails, including Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, and previewed an exhibition of key historical and current TAG Heuer product that underscores the brand’s passion for revolutionizing timekeeping. Highlights include: the Time of Trip (first dashboard chronograph), the Mikrograph (first stopwatch accurate to 1/100th of a second), the Monaco (first-ever self-winding automatic chronograph with micro rotor), the Monaco V4 (world’s first patented belt-driven watch movement) and the Carrera Calibre 1887 Chronograph (first TAG Heuer watch to be powered by the brand’s new Calibre 1887 chronograph movement). The TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster also was on display for guests to admire.

The Amagansett, NY-based event marked the 13th major stop the TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster has made worldwide. In March 2010, TAG Heuer brand ambassador and Academy Award-nominated actor Leonardo DiCaprio kicked off the car’s round-the-world, six-month “Odyssey” in Basel, Switzerland. Since then, the TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster has visited Monaco, the Great Wall of China and India, where Prince Albert, actor Chen Dao Ming and the Maharaja of India, respectively, drove it.

Brand ambassador and tennis champion Maria Sharapova welcomed the TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster when it arrived in the U.S. in early July, and drove it along the streets of Manhattan Beach, Calif. Throughout the summer, the car was driven cross-country and stopped in cities nationwide, including Malibu, Calif., where TAG Heuer hosted a cocktail reception with “Twilight” star Kellan Lutz, “True Blood” leading actor Joe Manganiello, Johnny Galecki of “Big Bang Theory”, and Tim Daly of “Private Practice.”

The TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster will travel to London and then Paris for the final leg of its global journey. At the Odyssey’s completion, the car will have traveled more than 25,000 miles over three continents. Follow the Odyssey at http://odyssey.tagheuer.com/.

Boeing Conducts Remote 787 Testing

EVERETT, Wash., Sept. 3 English News Online — Four of the five Boeing (NYSE:BA) 787 flight test airplanes are conducting remote test operations this week. ZA005 continues testing from its base of operations in Seattle.

ZA004 has spent an extended time operating out of Victorville, Calif., conducting flight loads survey testing. This testing measures external pressure distributions throughout the flight envelope. ZA004 is set to do testing in Glasgow, Mont., after it wraps up its California testing.

Artificial ice shapes have been affixed to the leading edges of the wings and horizontal and vertical stabilizer of the fifth 787 to complete another group of tests required for certification. Ice-shape testing verifies the airplane’s performance in the presence of ice. Natural ice testing has already occurred.

“Flight test is staying very busy,” said Fancher. “We continue to be very pleased with the performance of the airplane. We’re definitely putting it through its paces, subjecting it to the harshest environments and conditions to ensure it is ready for revenue service.”

The 787 flight test fleet has conducted more than 1,650 hours of flying over more than 540 flights.

Pilgrim’s Resumes Export Shipments to Russia

Pilgrim’s Resumes Export Shipments to Russia

GREELEY, Colo., Sept. 3 English News Online — Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (NYSE: PPC) said it will resume export shipments to Russia tomorrow after the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) finalized certificates that must accompany the shipments.

Pilgrim’s has four Russia-approved processing plants that are currently packing product for Russia. Those plants are located in Boaz, Ala.; Russellville, Ala.; Athens, Ga.; and Dallas, Texas. The company said it expects shipments to Russia to begin loading at U.S. ports tomorrow.

“Demand from Russia is very strong. We have sold out our entire Russian-approved production for the next 30 days and prices have continued to strengthen,” said Don Jackson, Pilgrim’s president and chief executive. “Russia is an important export market for U.S. chicken and the re-opening of the borders will be a significant benefit to our company and industry.”

In July, Russian officials signed a formal poultry agreement with the United States outlining new processing requirements for domestic chicken that is to be exported to Russia. Earlier this year, Russia had banned all U.S. chicken that had been processed with chlorinated water. Under the new requirements approved in July, U.S. chicken companies can replace the chlorinated rinse with cetylpyridinium chloride, peroxyacetic acid or hydrogen peroxide.

‘Thinking’ Car Key Predicts Driver Actions

‘Thinking’ Car Key Predicts Driver Actions

Micro Computer Knows When to Lock, Unlock Buick LaCrosse Doors

DETROIT, Sept. 3 English News Online — When Dave Proefke gets locked out of his car, it’s called “research.”

Proefke, a General Motors Technical Fellow, leads a team that has developed an advanced wireless car key that automatically knows when to lock and unlock the doors on the 2011 Buick LaCrosse and selected other General Motors models.

“It does a lot of the thinking for you,” said Proefke. “It tries to determine your intended action and perform that action for you.”

The new key doesn’t require a button press or even a keyhole. Instead it sends out a constant stream of data to the vehicle that includes where the key is located. That helps the car decide whether the doors should be locked or unlocked based on pre-programmed behavioral scenarios.

The LaCrosse can be equipped with push-button start with smart key technology. It knows whether or not the key is present inside the car. If it is, theft-deterrent encrypted coding allows the vehicle to start. The highly sophisticated system removes many of the mechanical systems such as wiring and cylinders that can make a vehicle easier to steal.

“With push-button start available on the CXL and standard on the CXS, LaCrosse owners can enter the vehicle, push a button to start the car and away they go,” said Proefke. “No more fumbling for keys.”

Buick’s thinking car key knows when it has been left behind in a vehicle. Automatically sensing a lockout situation, it will alert the driver that the keys are still inside the vehicle. If the driver attempts to manually lock the doors, the fob system will keep the doors unlocked.

One of the common key fob myths is that someone could capture its signal and use it to steal a car. With advanced key fob technology, signals are encrypted and change with every button push. Stealing signals is virtually impossible.

Proefke, who grew up around cars, has been working on vehicle security systems for Buick for more than 20 years, and he holds several patents in the area.

“In the future, the functions that are on the key fob could be built into smartphone apps,” Proefke said. “Also, key fobs will become smaller and more jewelry-like and could even be worn.”

Class-Exclusive Technologies Help Keep 2011 Ford Edge a Safety and Security Leader

Class-Exclusive Technologies Help Keep 2011 Ford Edge a Safety and Security Leader

DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 3 English News Online — — 2011 Ford Edge has class-exclusive AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control(TM)) standard, one of several technologies further enhancing the safety capability of the popular midsize crossover

— Traction control, Tire Pressure Monitoring System and available all-wheel drive also can bring peace of mind to customers

— Several class-exclusive driver assistance technologies available on 2011 Ford Edge include adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support and cross-traffic alert

The wealth of available class-exclusive features added to the 2011 Ford Edge include driver assistance technologies that bring peace of mind.

Leading the safety technology for the popular midsize crossover is Ford Motor Company’s (NYSE:F) exclusive AdvanceTrac with RSC. This electronic stability control system helps maintain a driver’s intended path by measuring side-to-side yaw through steering angle, lateral acceleration and yaw rate sensors and automatically making braking and throttle adjustments.

When wheel slip is sensed, AdvanceTrac reduces engine torque and applies selected brakes. RSC is an additional vehicle control software module that monitors and helps control vehicle roll rate.

“With class-exclusive safety technology and solid unibody construction, the 2011 Ford Edge will continue to be a leader in safety,” said Elaine Bannon, Edge chief engineer. “For families who place a premium on safety, the new Edge features several new available technologies that can help avoid an accident.”

New available driver assistance and convenience technologies added to the 2011 Ford Edge and how they help include:

— Adaptive cruise control allows the driver to set the vehicle’s cruising speed, using advanced radar technology to monitor traffic ahead and scan for slower vehicles. The system slows the vehicle to adapt for traffic conditions and maintain the preset distance between vehicles. Once traffic clears, the set speed returns. Gap distance settings can be customized from four predetermined options. — Collision warning with brake support helps reduce speed, automatically pre-charges brakes, provides a red warning light on the windshield as well as an audible beep and engages an electronic brake assist system to help drivers stop more quickly when the system detects a collision is imminent. — Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with cross-traffic alert is a feature that can help detect vehicles in blind spots during normal driving, as well as traffic approaching from the sides when reversing out of parking spots. — MyKey® is designed to allow parents to encourage teenagers to drive safely and more fuel efficiently, and increase seat belt usage. The standard MyKey feature allows owners to designate keys that can limit the vehicle’s top speed, audio volume and other features. — Rear view camera automatically engages when the vehicle is placed in reverse. The camera is located in the liftgate above the license plate, and video is shown on the available 8-inch center stack touch screen with an image providing vehicle centerline, rear bumper orientation and trajectory lines to relate an object’s proximity to the rear of the vehicle. — Hill start assist helps keep the vehicle from rolling backward, making it easier to pull away when on a slope or hill. With the brake pedal pressed, if sensors detect the vehicle is on a slope, the system is automatically activated. Brake pressure is held in the braking system and the vehicle remains stationary on the slope for up to two seconds after the driver releases the brake pedal.
