   The first ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe
   
   The finishing touches are currently being applied to the first ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe as part of its final testing phase. And the new four-door coupe for the premium compact segment has engaged in a spot of self-promotion on its calibration drives around the Munich area. Adding an extra level of intrigue to the eye-catching multi-coloured camouflage of the test cars is a large QR code on the front doors directing curious eyes to www.bmw.com/2-series-gran-coupe. Ahead of the 2 Series Gran Coupe’s world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2019, this homepage will keep visitors supplied with bulletins of new information on this extravagant and innovative vehicle concept. The worldwide market launch of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will get underway in spring 2020.
   
   BMW is bringing the four-door coupe concept that has already enjoyed great success in higher vehicle classes into the premium compact segment. The first ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe celebrates its arrival with a fresh dose of individuality, aesthetic appeal and emotional engagement, backed up by innovative control/operation and connectivity tech, excellent everyday usability and exceptional dynamic capability. This show-stealing spin-off from the classical sedan format is underpinned by BMW’s cutting-edge front-wheel-drive architecture and shares an array of technological developments with the recently unveiled new BMW 1 Series. Like its premium-compact stablemate, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe employs groudbreaking chassis technology and innovative control systems to raise the bar in terms of dynamics and agility.
   
   One feature of the new car’s technical armoury is the ARB (near-actuator wheel slip limitation) technology featured in the BMW i3s (electric power consumption combined: 14.6 – 14 kWh/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 0 g/km*). ARB uses a slip controller positioned directly in the engine control unit rather than in the control unit for the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system. Eliminating long signal paths means that information is relayed three times quicker, while the driver perceives wheel slip being brought under control up to ten times faster. This innovative traction control technology teams up with the likewise standard BMW Performance Control (yaw moment distribution) to deliver a direct and intense driving experience with both front-wheel drive and the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive of the BMW M235i xDrive (fuel consumption combined: 7.1 – 6.7 l/100 km [39.8 – 41.8 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 162 – 153 g/km**). The sporty range-topping model is fitted with the most powerful four-cylinder engine in the BMW Group line-up, producing 225 kW (306 hp). It also comes as standard with the newly developed mechanical Torsen limited-slip differential, which gives the car an even sportier edge by creating a locking effect between the front wheels.
   
   The first ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe complements its elegantly sporty and extrovert lines with cutting-edge connectivity and generous levels of spaciousness. It therefore has all the ingredients to fuel the enthusiasm of new, design-led customers in urban areas for BMW’s hallmark driving pleasure. The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has been conceived as a global offering and represents an appealing addition to the model line-up, in particular in markets where the sedan body style enjoys strong popularity.

   Zware tijden voor autofabrikant Aston Martin
   
   Gepubliceerd op 31 jul 2019 om 08:52 | Views: 0
   
   LONDEN (AFN) - De Britse fabrikant van luxe auto's Aston Martin is in de eerste helft van dit jaar in de rode cijfers gedoken. Het bedrijf kampt met een tegenvallende vraag en zag zich vorige week al genoodzaakt zijn verkoopdoelstellingen voor heel 2019 flink te verlagen.
   
   Aston Martin boekte in het eerste halfjaar een verlies voor belastingen van bijna 79 miljoen pond (86 miljoen euro) Een jaar eerder werd nog een winst van 21 miljoen pond in de boeken gezet. De omzet viel met 4 procent terug naar 407 miljoen pond.
   
   Het aantal verkochte wagens nam wel toe. Aston Martin bracht in de eerste jaarhelft 2442 bolides aan de man, 6 procent meer dan in dezelfde periode vorig jaar. Maar de vraag naar de allerduurste modellen stond juist onder druk, mede als gevolg van onzekere economische omstandigheden.

   BMW handhaaft outlook ondanks winstdruk
   
   (ABM FN-Dow Jones) BMW heeft in het tweede kwartaal de winst met krap een derde zien teruglopen, maar houdt wel vast aan de eerder afgegeven outlook. Dit werd donderdag bekendgemaakt door de Duitse autofabrikant.
   
   In het afgelopen kwartaal daalde de nettowinst met 29 procent tot 1,48 miljard euro. De winst voor rentes en belastingen liep met 20 procent terug tot 2,2 miljard euro, ondanks een stijging van de omzet met krap drie procent tot 25,7 miljard euro.
   
   Volgens BMW lag de winst onder druk door kosten gerelateerd aan de ontwikkeling van toekomstige technologieën.
   
   In het automotive segment viel de EBIT-marge terug van 8,6 tot 6,5 procent. Sommige cijfers werden door BMW aangepast in verband met de nieuwe boekhoudkundige regels.

   All-new Ford 7.3-liter V8 set to drive
   
   Ford F-Series, America’s best-selling truck for 42 years, is once again raising the bar for capability with its all-new 7.3-liter V8 gasoline engine. The 7.3-liter engine in Super Duty pickup cranks out best-in-class gas V8 output of 430 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and best-in-class torque of 475 ft.-lb. at 4,000 rpm.
   
   No other competitor provides such a powerful and advanced gasoline engine in such a broad range of offerings – from Class 2 Super Duty pickups through Class 7 commercial trucks.
   
   Based on decades of commercial engine experience, the 7.3-liter V8 delivers class-leading performance in a compact package. The 7.3-liter V8 features an overhead valve architecture that generates power low in the rev range to help get heavier loads moving sooner and with greater confidence. It also features a variable-displacement oil pump, extra-large main bearings, forged steel crankshaft for durability, and piston cooling jets to help manage temperatures under heavy load.
   
   The all-new 7.3-liter will be available first in Super Duty F-250 and F-350 pickup models. It joins the 6.2-liter V8 gas engine in Super Duty’s lineup, along with the upgraded third-generation 6.7-liter Power Stroke® diesel V8. Additional power and capability numbers, including Super Duty towing and payload ratings as well as power numbers for the upgraded 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel will be announced later this year.
   
   A dyno-certified version of the 7.3-liter V8 producing 350 horsepower at 3,900 rpm and 468 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,900 rpm will be standard on F-450 chassis cab, F-550, the new F-600, F-650 and F-750 Medium Duty trucks, and F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models. The upgraded E-Series will also feature the 7.3-liter V8. An optional calibration intended to help customers reduce their fuel consumption will also be offered; more information will be made available at a later date.

    Ferrari H1 2019 Results Confirm 2019 Guidance with Improved Cash Flow
    
    Ferrari NV announced its consolidated preliminary results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019. Shipments totaled 2,671 units in the second quarter 2019, up 208 units or +8.4% vs. prior year. This achievement was driven by a 12.3% increase in sales of our 8 cylinder models, while the 12 cylinder models decreased by a few units. The performance was mainly led by robust deliveries of the Ferrari Portofino as well as the 812 Superfast. This was partially offset by lower volume from the 488 family, with the 488 GTB and the 488 Spider approaching the end of their lifecycles, partially offset by the 488 Pista ramp up and the first deliveries of the 488 Pista Spider.
    
    EMEA grew 11.4%, Rest of APAC was up 5.8%, while Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan were up 63.3% and Americas down 5.5%. Geographic mix shifted in favor of Mainland China as a result of the decision to accelerate client deliveries in advance of the early introduction of new emission regulations as was the case in the first quarter and with lower shipments to the U.S. reflecting the above mentioned model phase in and phase out within the 488 family.
    
    Net revenues for the second quarter 2019 increased to Euro 984 million, up 8.6% at current currency and up 6.8% at constant currency. Revenues in Cars and spare parts (Euro 766 million, +14.4% at current currency or +12.4% at constant currency) were supported by the ramp up of the 488 Pista and the 488 Pista Spider, as well as higher volumes of the Ferrari Portofino and the 812 Superfast, this was partially offset by the prior year shipments of LaFerrari Aperta as well as lower sales of the 488 GTB and the 488 Spider. Revenues growth was also supported by a strong positive contribution from personalization programs along with deliveries of the FXX K EVO. The erosion in Engines revenues (Euro 53 million, -34.8% at current and constant currency reflected lower shipments to Maserati. Sponsorship, commercial and brand revenues (Euro 131 million, +3.6% at current currency or +2.1% at constant currency(1)) slightly increased due to higher revenues generated by Formula 1 racing activities. Currency, including translation and transaction impacts as well as foreign currency hedges, had a positive impact of Euro 17 million (mainly USD).

    Niet beleggen in autoproducenten-aandelen nu! Teveel risico's op terugvallende vraag, kosten transitie investeringen naar EV's en diesel nasleep. Ik beleg in autobanden :) en aanverwanten. Continental, Michelin en Valeo. De koersen zijn hard gevallen maar de ondernemingen geven forse dividend percentages (3,5% a 5%) en zijn meer recessie bestendig; een versleten autoband of onderdeel moet toch vervangen worden.

    Bosch is paving the way for 3D displays in vehicles
    
    Bigger, more visually attractive, and with more and more features, digital displays are becoming a key feature of vehicle cockpits. Neither drivers nor passengers want to be without the display and control features they now enjoy on devices such as smartphones and televisions. But there is more to it than that: in the cockpits of the future, digital displays will play a key role in the interaction between drivers and their vehicles. With its new 3D display products, Bosch is responding to this trend. The products use passive 3D technology to generate a realistic three-dimensional effect that allows visual information to be grasped faster than when displayed on conventional screens.
    
    3D displays are the latest trend for vehicle cockpits. On the movie screen, a 3D effect serves primarily to enhance a film’s entertainment value. But in a vehicle, it’s a different case.
    
    When parking, moreover, the rear-view camera image is more realistic, allowing obstacles to be detected earlier. And drivers can get an even better idea of how much space they have left between the rear fender and, say, a parking garage wall. When navigating street canyons, this 3D effect also plays a decisive role, as the spatial depth of the map display makes it immediately clear which building marks the next turn. For its new display, Bosch makes use of a passive 3D technology, which works completely without additional features such as eye tracking or 3D glasses.
    
    The eyes are responsible for 90 percent of all human sensory perception. Simply showing information on a car display instrument is old hat. The future is all about interaction between users and displays. And Bosch is ready for this. Its portfolio includes applications of all kinds – from small and flat to large and curved, and sometimes in unusual shapes such as round or with trimmed corners. On top of this, interaction can take the form of voice or touch control – the latter also with haptic feedback. “Bosch is developing infotainment to suit any customer,” Berns says. And especially when the drivers of the future let their autopilot do the driving, the human-machine interface (HMI) will be crucially significant for the interaction between the car and its driver.
    
    As displays grow in size, become more multi-purpose and intelligent, and feature voice and touch control, more and more computing power is needed. This could mean many more control units. Even now, as many as 15 back-end processing units control the display and operating systems. Bosch uses just one cockpit computer to coordinate the entire HMI, and delegates all control functions to one central control unit. “We are putting intelligence into the cockpit,” Berns says. Fewer control units also means less weight, and vehicle development times are also reduced. Thanks to over-the-air updates, moreover, the infotainment system can be kept up to date just as simply as a smartphone.
    
    Vehicle displays are subject to rigorous safety standards. Especially when it comes to temperature fluctuations and vibrations, these standards are far higher than for consumer electronics. For example, car displays have to work perfectly whether the temperature is minus 40 or plus 120 degrees Celsius, and this over the vehicle’s entire service life. Even in the event of partial failure, drivers have to be able to rely on a minimum amount of vital information at all times. Bosch operating systems are tested thoroughly to make them fit for vehicle use.

    Ferrari krikt verwachtingen voor 2019 op
    
    Gepubliceerd op 4 nov 2019 om 13:27 | Views: 325
    
    MARANELLO (AFN) - De beroemde Italiaanse sportwagenfabrikant Ferrari heeft zijn winstverwachting voor heel 2019 naar boven bijgesteld. Ook over de omzet is de beursgenoteerde onderneming positiever gestemd dan voorheen.
    
    Het bedrijf rekent nu op een operationeel resultaat van bijna 1,3 miljard euro, terwijl eerder hooguit 1,25 miljard euro werd voorspeld. Voor de jaaromzet werd de verwachting opgeschroefd naar 3,7 miljard euro. Hier werd eerder op meer dan 3,5 miljard euro gerekend.

    Omzet BMW stijgt vermoedelijk
    
    FONDS KOERS VERSCHIL VERSCHIL % BEURS
    BMW AG
    73,07 1,47 2,05 % Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (Xetra)
    BMW AG
    73,00 1,60 2,24 % Gruppo Borsa Italiana
    
    (ABM FN) BMW zal in het derde kwartaal een hogere omzet boeken. Dit bleek uit de consensus samengesteld door FactSet.
    
    De omzet zal volgens de consensus in het derde kwartaal van 24,74 miljard naar 25,42 miljard euro stijgen.
    
    De nettowinst zal ook stijgen van 1,38 miljard naar 1,52 miljard euro, volgens de consensus. Hogere kosten zullen worden goedgemaakt door de lancering van nieuwe modellen, en het zwakke kwartaal van vorig jaar zal gemakkelijk te overtreffen zijn.
    
    Investeerders zullen aandacht hebben voor de vooruitblik van de Duitse automaker naar de rest van het jaar, gezien de sombere vooruitzichten voor de autosector.
    
    BMW opent woensdag de boeken.

    Bugatti Chiron Breaks 300 Mph Barrier
    
    Le Mans winner and Bugatti test driver Mr Andy Wallace reached the top speed of 490.484 km/h or 304.773 mph on August 2, 2019 on the test track at Ehra-Lessien in Lower Saxony in Germany while driving a pre production vehicle of a Bugatti Chiron derivative. The record run was recorded by a sealed GPS box, the certificate was issued by SGS-TÜV Saar. So as of August 2019, Bugatti is the first manufacturer to produce a car that runs faster than 300 mph, at a speed of 304.773 mph.
    
    He worked his way up to the top speed from 300 km/h in 50 km/h increments to make sure all the conditions were right and the Chiron was optimally balanced in terms of lift and downforce. After one lap to condition Andy Wallace accelerated out of the north curve to 200 km/h to reach top speed on the 8.8 kilometer straight. At a precisely defined braking point, he decelerated the Chiron back to 200 km/h to drive through the south bend. He had a distance of two kilometres in which to do so.
    
    For the world record, a team of engineers from various disciplines, under the direction of Bugatti’s Head of Development Stefan Ellrott prepared a pre production vehicle of a Chiron derivative. In addition to aerodynamic improvements the specialists attached great importance to safety. Andy Wallace was held in place by six-point belts and protected by an additional safety cell.
    
    It’s not the first time that Andy Wallace has set a speed record: in 1998, the Brit reached a speed of 391 km/h (243 mph) in at McLaren F1 on the same track, likewise setting a record.

    HELLA Develops High Resolution Digital Light SSL HD
    
    Lighting and electronics expert HELLA is making a further significant contribution to greater safety and comfort in road traffic with the new high resolution lighting system Digital Light SSL HD. With this lighting technology, more than 30,000 pixels can be controlled intelligently and individually, thus bringing about numerous new safety functions like optical lane markings. Furthermore, original equipment manufacturers and end customers can use SSL HD technology to implement and experience further options allowing enhanced individualization, such as coming and leaving home animations as well as communication functions.
    
    The SSL HD lighting technology not only further improves established lighting functions such as adaptive, glare-free high beam, it also enables additional light-based safety functions, for instance in the form of an optical lane assistant. This can, for example, indicate the optimum lane to take when driving past road works and thus provide the driver with additional support in order to achieve safe and stable vehicle guidance. Another possible safety-enhancing functionality is the projection of protection areas for cyclists or pedestrians.

    BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen Fined for Anticompetitive Practices in Purchase of Steel
    
    German competition body Bundeskartellamt has imposed fines totalling around 100 million euros on Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, Daimler AG and Volkswagen AG for anticompetitive practices in the purchase of long steel products. Bundeskartellamt president Mr Andreas Mundt said “Between 2004 and the end of 2013 representatives of BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen regularly met twice a year with steel manufacturers, forging companies and large systems suppliers and exchanged information on uniform surcharges for the purchase of long steel products. Scrap and alloy surcharges account for a substantial part of the purchase prices for long steel. Insofar as the surcharges were no longer negotiated individually with the suppliers as a consequence of these talks, price competition between the companies on these price components was eliminated.”
    
    It said “In their production processes the car manufacturers use many parts which are made from long steel including crankshafts, connecting rods, camshafts, gear wheels and steering rods. These components are either purchased from forging companies or are produced by the car manufacturers themselves in their own forges. For this purpose, long steel is purchased beforehand as a raw material. Long steel is usually sold by the steel manufacturers or forging companies based on a certain price model. This consists of a basic price and scraps and alloy surcharges. During the period of infringement the surcharges, which fluctuated according to amount, accounted on average for approximately a third of the end price of engineering steel, which is the main type of long steel concerned here. The purchase costs of long steel account for less than one percent of the total costs of a car. In contrast to the basic prices, the surcharges were traditionally not negotiated but calculated according to sector-wide uniform formulas and added to the basic price as separate price components. In 2003 and 2004 the steel manufacturers unilaterally made certain changes to the surcharge calculation, in some cases under the threat of refusal to supply. As a reaction to this the discussions between the car and steel manufacturers and forging companies were taken up under the umbrella of the German association for steel and metal processing (. In the talks the representatives of the car manufacturers ensured one another that they would adopt the changes introduced by the steel manufacturers and continue to adhere to the established practice of uniformly calculated price surcharges. They did so at any rate until January 2016.”
    
    It added “The companies acknowledged the facts as established by the Bundeskartellamt and agreed to a settlement. This was taken into account by the Bundeskartellamt when calculating the fines as well as the fact that the car manufacturers had cooperated with the authority throughout the proceeding.”

    ‘BMW heeft hybride technologie gestolen’
    
    BMW moet voor de Amerikaanse rechter verschijnen omdat het bedrijf hybride motortechnologie zou hebben gestolen van een Amerikaans bedrijf. Eerder werden Ford, Toyota, Hyundai en Kia al met succes voor de rechter gedaagd wegens diefstal.
    
    Erik Kouwenhoven 27-11-19, 20:01
    
    De auto-industrie blijft verbazen als het gaat om moraliteit. Na de sjoemeldiesels, vergaste aapjes en grootscheepse kartelvorming blijkt nu ook op grote schaal hybride motortechnologie te zijn gestolen. In de jongste aanklacht gaat het om BMW, dat volgens een Amerikaans bedrijf niet heeft betaald voor ontwerpen van hybride aandrijvingssystemen. Dat meldt Automotive News Europe.
    
    De aanklacht komt van de Amerikaanse firma Paice, die als een van de eerste bedrijven in staat bleek deze systemen te fabriceren. Volgens de firma is de technologie gebruikt in acht hybride en plug-inhybride voertuigen, waaronder de 330e iPerformance, 530e iPerformance, 750e xDrive iPerformance, i8 Roadster Plug-in en Mini Countryman Plug-in. ,,Wij deelden details van onze hybride voertuigtechnologie te goeder trouw met BMW”, zei Robert Oswald, ceo van de firma, in een verklaring.
    
    Paice ging ervan uit dat BMW een licentie zou afnemen, maar dat gebeurde niet. BMW is niet de enige die ‘vergat’ te betalen. Eerder al daagde Paice de autofabrikanten Ford, Toyota, Hyundai en Kia voor de rechter. Die zaken werden door het Amerikaanse bedrijf glansrijk gewonnen. Daarmee ziet het er voor BMW niet rooskleurig uit als het gaat om de uitkomst van dit geschil. BMW Duitsland heeft niet gereageerd op de aanklacht.
