Get your motors running: it’s the London Motorcycle Show

Posted by: Auto Buff  /  Category: General Motors

The MCN Motorcycle Show is under way at ExCel London.

Now an established event on the London motoring calendar, hundreds of companies will be there including all of the major manufacturers, from BMW and Honda to Triumph and Ducati.

The show is a great chance for the public to get their first close look at many of new models that will be gracing showrooms in the spring.

Some of the world’s top racers will also be on hand to launch new products and meet the public, and in some cases, to take part in spectacular stunt shows. It is also an excellent place to buy all sorts of equipment, from specialist parts, tools and gear to general kit and warm weather clothing, with huge discounts available.

We’re not talking a show isn’t just for hardened hairy bikers and city-slicker scooter riders either. Get On! will look to encourage those (men AND women) interested about getting on to two wheels.

Experienced riding instructors will be on hand to give visitors a free 20-minute taster lesson, introducing them to the controls and let them ride on a small course, as well as answering any questions they may have about learning and living with motorcycles or scooters. There’s no need to book for those interested in converting to two wheels – just pop over to the Get On! stand.

With ever increasing costs and congestion on the capital’s public transport network, and the prospect of worse to come this summer, the Get On! stand will, no doubt, be a popular place for Londoners wanting an alternative way of getting around town, just as last month’s cycle show was.

The London Motorcycle Show is open between 10.00-17.00 on Thursday and Friday, and 09.00-18.00 over the weekend.

Tickets cost £25 on the door for adults. Entry for a single accompanying child under 16 is free, with additional children costing £10.

In his remarks’, the Deputy General Manager (Ford Fleet), Cocharis Motors, Adenuga Olalekan, said the elaborate introduction of the all-new Focus underscored the high premium the Ford family placed on the brand in the country which is already paving the way of success for the vehicles in the market.

“When we started, it was only Ranger that we had, but today, the Ford brand is becoming so successful that if you look at any official convoy, you must see some Ford cars”, Adenuga told the guests, including family members and friends of the winners.
The Coscharis Motors Deputy General Manager predicted that considering the growing popularity of the brand, the quality

Blizzard 2011 survivors recall their day a year ago

Posted by: Auto Buff  /  Category: Motoring

A year ago today, the suburbs were snow-dazed.

The third-largest snowstorm since 1886 pounded the area with more than 20 inches of snow, drifts up to 10 feet tall and wind gusts up to 60 mph.

Well-traveled thoroughfares became snow-covered parking lots, trapping untold scores of motorists, many of whom simply abandoned their vehicles.

Schools and workplaces closed early after the snow began falling that Tuesday morning. Many remained that way the next couple days, giving students and adults alike some snow days to remember.

On this anniversary, we look back at some of the suburban tales of the Blizzard of 2011: a man trapped for 16 hours on Route 72 near Hampshire; Aurora police rescue efforts with a vehicle known as “the tank”; snow plows getting stuck in Arlington Heights; and entrepreneurs selling “snow-maggedon” T-shirts.

Stranded 16 hours

Frank Huss, 45, of Genoa was stranded for 16 hours — from 7 p.m. Feb. 1 to 11 a.m. the next day — in his 2010 Honda Accord on Route 72 west of Walker Road in Hampshire.

He eventually was rescued by snowmobilers but had to leave his car on the road until it could be towed.

Many would call that kind of experience something like “awful,” “terrible,” or “harrowing.” But Huss just said it was … irritating.

“Being stuck out there, you just can’t do anything,” he said. “All my family was worried because I’m a diabetic. If I could walk somewhere, I would have, if I knew how far west or east I was (from shelter).”

Huss was on his way home from Bensenville after finishing his shift as a truck driver. He had a full tank of gas and kept the car running on and off for warmth. Luckily, he also had food leftover from lunch — fruit, yogurt, soda and a candy bar.

Throughout the night, he listened to weather reports on the radio and talked via cellphone to his wife, Tracie, who in turn made tons of calls to relatives and friends to help rescue her husband.

Adding insult to injury, Huss said he had to pay a $300 towing bill to recover his car after the blizzard. Irritating.

‘Tank’ to the rescue

When the squad cars of officers trying to help stranded motorists began getting stuck themselves, Aurora police knew it was time to bring in the heavy equipment — the Special Response Team armored vehicle some refer to as “the tank.”

“It was one of the only vehicles we had access to to drive around town and make sure people weren’t stuck in their cars in snowdrifts,” Sgt. Ricky Ahlgren said about the 9-ton, four-wheel drive vehicle, manufactured by Massachusetts-based Lenco Armored Vehicles and available only to law enforcement

Survey Reveals Rising Petrol Prices Will Push 1 In 5 Drivers Off The Road

1 in 3 to Consider Hybrid or Electric as Next Car

• 78% reveal rising cost of motoring has affected how often they drive.
• 1% has already given up their car to cut household bills.
• 1 in 5 will give up car completely if petrol hits £2 per litre.
• 31% will consider purchasing a hybrid or electric for their next car
• 7% have already cut over 100 motoring miles a week.

An independent survey amongst over 1,000 motorists carried out by car insurance provider Hastings Direct has revealed the extent to which motorists are changing their driving habits due to the rising cost of motoring.

At the turn of the century petrol prices were about 77p per litre – they have nearly doubled in just 11 years and the trend is set to continue. The Hastings Direct survey asked motorists what they would do at key future price points for petrol.

Our survey clearly shows the pressure motorists are feeling on their finances.

• One in five drivers will give up their car completely if petrol hits £2 per litre, whilst more than one in ten (12%) will buy a hybrid or electric car at this price point.

67% of drivers currently use their car mainly for social use. When asked at what petrol price point drivers would stop using their car socially – over one in three (35%) will at £1.50 per litre, one in five (20%) at £1.60 and at £1.70, 18%.

The rising cost of motoring has already impacted drivers significantly in the last 12 months. Over three quarters (78%) say that the rising costs have affected how frequently they drive including one percent who has given up their cars completely.

Nearly three quarters (74%) have generally cut down on using the car – nearly half (49%) have cut back at least 25 miles each week, nearly a third (32%) by 50 miles per week and over 7% by in excess of 100 miles a week.   The drivers revealed that they now use their car less in the following situations: • 49% less to go out • 35% less to visit family and friends • 14% less to commute • 10% less to do the school run.

When asked how likely their next car was to be a hybrid or electric car nearly one in three (31%) said it would – 6% of whom will definitely buy an alternative powered car.

Tobias van der Meer, managing director, Hastings Direct: “Our survey clearly shows the pressure motorists are feeling on their finances. We know from our

Azure Dynamics Announces 45 Transit Connect Electric Sales

Azure Dynamics Announces 45 Transit Connect Electric Sales

PR Newswire — February 2, 2012

OAK PARK, Michigan, February 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –

- Global orders of Transit Connect Electric exceed $32 million since its introduction – New North American customers include orders through the General Services Administration, Verizon, an internet company, a Northeast university, a utility company and Ford Commercial Truck dealerships – New European customers include government authorities, and Ford dealerships

Azure Dynamics Corporation (TSX: AZD)(OTC: AZDDF) (“Azure” or the “Company”), a world leader in the development and production of hybrid electric and electric components and powertrain systems for light and medium duty commercial vehicles, today announced 45 new Ford Transit Connect Electric sales, including 20 units in Europe and 25 units in North America, which includes six initial units through the General Services Administration (the “GSA”) via Northside Ford in San Antonio, TX, a four unit order from Verizon and a four unit order from an internet company.

“We are pleased to have received several initial orders through the GSA as various U.S. government agencies, affiliated companies and military installations begin their procurement process for fiscal 2012,” said Scott Harrison, Azure’s CEO. “The Transit Connect Electric, offering low operating costs and zero tailpipe emissions, is the ideal versatile product that can serve a myriad of government fleet needs, particularly within the Armed Services.”

Since most commercial and government fleets spend a significant portion of their operational costs on fuel alone, there has been a dramatic surge in the demand for electrified alternatives. These fleet operators are increasingly seen as the logical starting point for electric vehicles due to typical drive cycles that include travel on predictable, short-range, routes with frequent stop and go driving that generally return to a central location at the end of a drive cycle making for efficient and convenient recharging over night.

“We are also pleased to see continued adoption among universities and large companies, such as Verizon,” continued Harrison. “Fleet operators, big and small businesses and colleges worldwide increasingly recognize the value the Transit Connect Electric offers in helping them reduce cost and meet their environmental goals.”

Azure is a leading provider of electric drive technology for light to medium-duty commercial fleet vehicles in North America and is the first authorized provider of electric and hybrid electric solutions on Ford’s market leading light-and medium-duty commercial vehicles.

“With these new orders, our global Transit Connect Electric sales exceed $32 million in less than 12 months of production,” continued Harrison. “And, our network of over 160 Ford dealers globally continues to drive our sales growth while providing outstanding service for our customers.”

Azure Dynamics has agreements with over 160 Ford commercial truck dealerships in key markets across North America, 90 of which support sales and service activities for Transit Connect Electric and in six countries throughout Europe representing 13 dealerships with 57 store locations.

Transit Connect Electric expands its customer base:

The 45 Transit Connect Electric vans announced today were sold to a variety of customers across North America and Europe as wells as to a number of Ford commercial truck dealers who will use the vans as customer demonstrators to increase awareness and appreciation of the product. These sales include:

The Transit Connect Electric utilizes an advanced lithium-ion battery from Johnson Controls to achieve a range of 50 to 80 miles depending on auxiliary usage and drive cycle and is rechargeable using either a 240-volt or standard 120-volt outlet. Commercial vans generally return to a central location at the end of each driving cycle making for easy overnight recharging. Use of the vehicles will also reduce fuel and maintenance costs, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
