History of Volvo

The Swedish mark which emblem is the symbol of the steel of the ancient alchemists and whose name means “I roll”, it comes to our blog of the engine like one of the companies most worried by the safety of the motorcar. At the end of the 50 it was the first one in installing in one of his models the safety belt of three points.

• Volvo; Sweden.
• Founded in 1927.
• Emblematic models: OV4, PV444, 122, 140, 144, 240, 260, 740 … …
• Models in production: C30, C70, XC70, S60, S80, XC80, XC90 ….

Volvo was born of the union of the engineer Gustaf Larson and of the financier Assar Gabrielsson. Both decided to mount a business of manufacture of motorcars in Goteborg. His first model, the OV4, was known in Sweden like Jakob. In his beginnings, Volvo, he was devoting himself to assemble simply pieces of other manufacturers and mount the motorcar. Until 1935 it continued with this way of working, and in the same year I throw his first model with closed bodywork and engine of six cylinders.

Volvo decides to quote in bag and the good march of his actions allowed him to absorb immense most of his providers and to turn this way into a real manufacturer. Most of his production in those years was consisting of light industrial vehicles. Before the big World war his production reached 40.000 units. During the conflict it suspended the motorcars manufacture and devoted itself completely to the armoured vehicles assembly for the army.

Concluded the war, his model PV threw the signature 444, the first one in arranging of bodywork autoamble, to this one, the Amazon followed him, in the 50s. With both models there grew the reputation of Volvo and his interest in the safety of the vehicles. Reputation that consolidated with the arrival of the series 140, 240 and 260. With the safety like motto, it was not strange in the 70s to see the Volvo announced with photos, of the test realized to verify his safety, hitting concrete walls.

In 1972, Volvo bought Daf and extended his scale of models. In 1974, the most sold model of his history appeared with three million units, 240, more than half of who had the bodywork Station Wagon (relative), of which Volvo was a precursor in Europe.

Volvo eliminated Daf and supported conversations with Renault to collaborate in the construction of different models, the agreement did not go so far as to take shape for a few inopportune declarations of a member of the French Government. After breaking the agreement with Renault, he signed one of collaboration with Mitsubishi, with which it has created the company Nedcar, which makes products for both signatures. In 1998, Volvo happens to be part of the Group Ford.

Must the tires change in winter?

The question that we rise to ourselves in this engine blog it can have a very rapid answer, according to whom he answers it. There will be the one who says flatly that yes, since they are supporters of using a few tires in winter and others in summer. But before the question: must the tires change in winter? there will be the one who says that it does not need. Then: what do we do?

- To increase lightly the pressure of the tire during the storage period.

- To mark the position of the tire: it is suitable to mark the position in every tire with a chalk piece in order that, in the following change, every tire is mounted again in the same wheel in which it was (DD = right forward, I GAVE = left forward, etc.).

- To verify the profile of depth of the tires: the European law passes that the legal depth minimum is 1.6 mm.

The practice of changing the tires and some have for the winter and others for the summer it is advisable, since the changes of temperature and the climatological conditions can affect to the life of the tire. Nevertheless, although it is an advisable practice, very few drivers realize it, since he supposes an expense of tires (you must have at least eight) and of time considerable, since every six months it is necessary to change them.

History of Rolls Royce

Symbol of the luxury on four wheels, today he visits our blog dedicated to the engine, Rolls Royce. British company dedicated to the construction of the most exclusive and elegant cars, also it is capable of making powerful engines for the air and naval industry.

• Rolls Royce; the United Kingdom.
• Founded in 1906 by Henry Royce and Charles Stewart Rolls.
• Emblematic models: Silver Ghost, Phantom I, II, III and IV, Silver Shadow, Corniche.
• Models in production: Dealerships, Phantom, Goodwood, Ghost.

In 1884 Henry Royce opened a workshop of mechanics and electricity of the motorcar. In 1904, of his factory of Manchester there was going out his first creation, a model called Royce. In May of the same year it met C.S. Rolls and they came to an agreement so that the last one was commercializing all the cars that Royce was making. In the contract it remained clear that the cars would be called Rolls Royce and that the exclusivity of his commercialization was relapsing into Rolls. The company was founded on March 15, 1906, and moved his facilities to Derby in 1908.

Silver Ghost, which was supported in production for 19 years, was the principal causer of the good reputation that the signature already acquired in his first years. Considering the strong demand, Rolls Royce, turned out to be forced to open a plant in the United States, specifically in Springfield, Massachusetts. The above mentioned factory opened his doors in 1921 and closed them in 1931 after making 1.701 motorcars.

In 1931, the company was bought by Bentley, whose economy could not overcome the big depression. Since then and until 2002, the models of both marks have been almost identical, it was possible only to differentiate them for the broilers of the radiators and some small detail more.

The British signature moved in 1946 to Crewe. After the economic disaster provoked by the development of the new turbojet RB211 for the aviation, Rolls Royce, was nationalized by the government in 1971. Two years later, the motorcars business separated of the mark as Rolls Royce Motors. In 1980, Vickers buys Rolls Royce to get rid of her in 1998, I joust when the tendency begins to grow for vehicles and marks inspired in the past.

The big marks of the industry went out in the hunting of Rolls Royce and although BMW was already giving him components, the elected one was Volkswagen that offered 430 million pounds sterling for the British signature. Nevertheless, the division of engines of aviation decided to sell the patents and licenses of the name and logotype of Rolls Royce to BMW and not to Volkswagen who had acquired the rights of the emblem of the mark “Spirit of Ecstasy” and of the design of the radiator. BMW paid 40 million pounds sterling for the logotype “RR“, for many the most valuable property of Rolls Royce.

After a series of agreements between both companies and from 2003, alone BMW might use the mark Rolls Royce, and Volkswagen the mark Bentley.

System 4Control of Renault

The third generation of Renault Laguna arranges of a system, 4Control, that offers him a high precision in the direction. In our blog dedicated to the world of the engine we analyze as there works this system and the advantages that it contributes to the vehicle that mounts it.

Four wheels guidelines with which the Lagoon is provided, provide to the berlin of Renault exceptional, of a stability and manageability. The key of the system 4Control there are a few rear wheels which draft angle is governed electronically according to the speed to which the vehicle journeys.

This system is not completely new in the car industry, since it is used for any time by trucks and buses of three or any more axes to help them to reduce his draft angle, facilitate his handling and maneuver capacity. The Deep Japanese signature developed it for some of his models but his implantation did not turn out to be viable and left the project. At present and thanks to the development of the electronics in the cars it is possible to direct the wheels of sure and efficient form.

You mark of both prestige and BMW, it 7 already include in his Series ó in the ceiling of scale of the series 5, the GT. Renault saw in this system an important help for the conduction and an increase in the safety of the car. 4Control it makes the conduction more relaxed since it is necessary to turn the frill less times in maneuvers like a parking or on having gone along along much toned mountain highways.

How does it work?:

When the car circulates below 60 km / h, the wheels of the rear axis turn in the sense opposite to those of the forward for a major agility. The radio reduced of draft facilitates many of the maneuvers that we carry out especially in city. Four wheels guidelines the movements of the frill stretch the being to be more limited, what helps to avoid the weariness when we circulate along narrow highways or with many curves.

Click here to view the embedded video.

If we circulate over 60 km / h, the behavior of the rear wheels is identical to that of the front parts, turning the four in the same sense. On having taken a curve, the rear train adapts itself perfectly to the trajectory and the vehicle obtains a maximum stability and a perfect maintenance of the direction.

With this system 4Control the radio of draft of the Lagoon goes on from the habitual 12,05 meters to 10,8 meters, 10 % less.

His car division was re-baptized in 2002 as GM Daewoo and it is controlled by General Motors with 42 % of the whole of the actions.

• Models in production: Cruze, Nubira, Epic, Captiva, Tone …

The industrial holding Daewoo was created in 1967 by Kim Woo-Choong. Kim, made use of the intentions of his Government of industrializing the country and with the support of the same one, developed and grew at a vertiginous speed. In 1970 and after reaching an agreement with the North American giant General Motors, it began to make his cars under license. The agreement was very beneficial for both parts, since to Daewoo there allowed to gain access to the last technologies and to General Motors to make cars with a very cheap labor.

In 1994 the agreement between both parts was cancelled. For that one then, the south-Korean signature was enjoying certain acceptance on the European market, especially in the United Kingdom. Although his products were not especially attractions, if it it was his price, test of it was the Tone thrown in 1998 and that it reached a few interesting sales levels. The constant Daewoo growth led him to including more fields than it could and in the year 2001 he declared himself insolvent.

History of Opel

There comes to our blog dedicated to the engine the history of one of the most fashionable marks, unfortunately, lately. The German Opel crosses one of his worst crises and his future is in the air. General Motors had announced his sale not long ago and nevertheless in the last weeks it seems to have changed idea. Briefly we tell you something of his glorious past.

• Opel; Germany. Head office in Rüsselheim.
• Founded in 1862 by Adam Opel.
• Emblematic models: Vectra, Ascona, Kadett, Calibrates, Senator, Rekord, Kapitän, Admiral ….
• Models in production: Corsican, Insignia, Astra, Zafira, Antara, Agila.

In his beginnings Adam Opel made bicycles, until in the year 1899 he decided to buy the factory of motorcars that belonged to Friedrich Lutzman. With him it worked for two years until both decided to continue different ways. In the year 1902 there appeared the first proper design of Opel, a vehicle of 12 PH, of which in 1906 more than 1.000 units had already been made.

In the middle of the 20s, Opel, injected an important money quantity into his business to introduce new chains of assembly and to increase the production. The measurement was very positive, Opel, it achieved this way that his products were reducing costs and were coming to the market with a much more competitive price, be enough to say, that the first model that went out of his chain of assembly, Free Fog, happened of costing 4.500 frames to 1.990. In 1928, Opel already had a market share in his fatherland of 37,5 %, which cost him to turn into the biggest builder of cars of Germany.

In full crisis of 29, Opel turned out to be forced to look for the help of more powerful signatures, there General Motors appears. The American giant buys the Opel totality but it leaves entire autonomy to him to keep on making motorcars as his philosophy. The following decade, it was that of the expansion of Opel, it turned into the biggest manufacturer of cars of Europe and thanks to General Motors one opened to the international market. Before such a growth in the production of motorcars, the German signature, it turned out to be forced to sell his bicycles division in 1937, up to this date he had constructed nearly 2,7 million units.

After the Second World war, Opel recovered quite rapidly and in 1950, his plant of Germany was already ready to make 100.000 cars a year. In 1957, Opel reaches 200.000 cars made a year and achieves 17 % of market share, to celebrate it makes a special edition of the model Kapitän. In 1962 and coinciding with his 100 anniversary opened another plant in Bochum.

At the beginning of the 70, Opel, he is the biggest manufacturer of cars of Germany again with 20 % of the entire production. In full crisis of the oil, it changes strategy and chooses to make cars of limited dimensions and of low consumption. In 1982 it opens the factory of Saragossa for the construction of the Corsican, one of his biggest successes of sales. Compromised with the environment, Opel introduced in his models, the catalyst, vital element for the reduction of pollutant emission to the ambience. His engines ECOTEC have been an example of reduction of consumptions and emission.

Mitsubishi: in full form in 2009

Objectively speaking this one there is one of the marks that surprises and it loves to a users' big quantity, and this is not a product of the coincidence since really Mitsubishi is one of the manufacturers who devotes himself to satisfy of good form all the needs for a users' wide scale, since it presents comfortable models, sports others and also some that mix one and another characteristic of different segments surrendering to the market like a viable alternative inside the variables that today manage in the entire world.

There is for everything it previously saying that beginning in 2009 Mitsubishi presented a calendar nourished of good piece of news for all those who think about how to buy to themselves an exception car.

Undoubtedly 2009 was the year of the model Lancer, since it is a question of that one that presents more versions than in the last time, since scarcely the year 2008 receives a compact variant of five doors that is recognized under the name of Sportback, for what is not a surprise many find today the muscular version of all the previous ones. Entering in 2009 finally there are known the versions diesel and other one of gasoline, which enter the Ralliart denomination and are based on the recognized mechanics of the models “Evolution“.

Hello we come to March of the present 89, finally the light happened in what is known as Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart, which is not another thing than the average model between that car Lancer of absolute access to the users and that of high yield that receives the nickname of Evolution X, that's why was a quite exciting month for many. The model in question counts with a block of 2.0 l that is the same propellent that has been used in the last time, although the prudence has been exempted somewhat, having a yield now of 240 horsepowers to 6000 revolutions per minute.

The propellent earlier commented, he is completely associated with an automatic double gearbox I will send, which knows each other technically under the name of Twin Clutch SST. One approximately, there knew the version diesel of the same model with an engine 1.8 l DiD, which is provided with a proper development.

In spite of having been the year 2009 for Mitsubishi one in which he rewards the model Lancer, there was a user group that proved to be altered enough for knowing the good piece of news of presenting the new scale of cars Colt, which is neither more nor less than a compact model that was made by the Asian mark several years ago behind and that had not only perfect sports esthetics, but also it had a performance on the asphalt more than efficient, going so far as to turn frequently for many one that was bordering on the sports performance.

It is the model earlier mentioned here that it presents itself as the most important innovation in this 2009, since beyond a network without esthetics, he presents new engines to gasoline, inside which we recognize the following ones: 1.1 liters of 75 horsepowers, 1.3 liters of 90 and 5 horsepowers and 1.5 liters of 109 horsepowers. Perhaps it does not seem to many that the propellents earlier commented are precisely of sports performance, but we still have not said that a propellent should exist 1.5 liters turbocharger that will generate 150 horsepowers, which will be reserved precisely for the version Ralliart that comes like the whole champion to the Mitsubishi house.

GM preserves Opel and cancels the dealing with Great

Many people will be able to remember a big quantity of news that were prepared and published in the means in Internet to show him to the entire world the future deal that GM would realize to sell the well-known Opel mark to a so called consortium like Great, nevertheless for diverse situations we come on November 3 of the present year 2009 with the new order to cancel everything worked previously for the sale earlier mentioned, since it seems that with good results during the year finally they have decided for preserving his exemption and keeping on producing cars with this recognized name.

Without a doubt that it is a somewhat strange change with regard to everything what we saw several months ago, nevertheless the director of the company decided to end with the sale process to support this mark inside his absolute control and this way to be able to keep on making these cars. In accordance with the specifications that there has given the spokesman of the American company, the changes that there has had the market and the good results obtained by the company spent the latter months, they allow really to be able to take the decision to cancel the sales process and to preserve the mark to give him a new redesign and this way to compete of good form with the market in the one that we are.

Although it is true we have mentioned in the previous paragraph that there will be a restructuring of the mark of Opel, the true thing is that this procedure would have an approximate cost of approximately 3 trillion euros, what would be an equivalent to 4.4 trillion dollars, and would have considered to raise a new strategy for the German division and that of other governments trying with it to favor of good form to this industry and also to the company opposite to a competitive market that it has passed enlarged to the modernization for what it comes in 2010.

In spite of everything, the president of GM and CEO of the company, Fritz Henderson, has pointed out that what has been seen during the last months is going to think to us that really we are in a process in which the European cars market has managed to become stable of good form after having crossed an extremely serious crisis, and that delivers true hopes of a successful restructuring on the part of the marks that are a part of GM, what makes us think really that it is not the best strategy to sell Opel, therefore we have decided to support it and thank from any form to all the work that the German government has realized and to the rest of the countries that shape the European Union.

Peugeot dresses himself of gala for the year 2009

Some of the comforting thing is not doubt that it means to do a brief remembranza of everything what was indicated like an advance for 2009 in his beginnings by different manufacturers of the world, this way the French understood that the best thing that they could do was to prepare a model that was the perfect miscellany between a monovolume and all way, and the fact is that from this concept one manages to captivate to a new market that is not really satisfied with the idea of having one or another car, but both alternatives fused in only one, hence there arises the prototype known under the nomenclature of 3008, which is provided with an esthetic paragraph of exception and a few expectations that leave to many other that you shape.

Without a doubt that it is a year of a lot of activity for the mark of León, and is that in spite of being in one year objectively difficult, there present before themselves three new models between which 107 one can emphasize for example the face wash for the small and compact model, as well as also the panacea gone out for the market of the almighty model 308 RZ C, more the monovolume quite ways 3008.

It seems that the fact of living through complex times in 2008 and of being tricked in one more complicated 2009 still does not stop to the French mark expert at making exception cars, and this allows to be made out in all the models that he was announcing at the beginning of 2009, since already in January there received the update of the famous model 107, which gave re-formulated his esthetics with obvious progress in his frontal part in comparison to those of the rest of the models of the mark of Sochaux.

Also come in March, the spring arrival coincides and finally is understood itself how it works and shows the convertible version of the model 308 CC, which is provided with a design much showier than his predecessor thanks to esthetics that presents big arguments to optimize the sales. It is provided with a retractable hard roof and also four real squares, although as we it were suspecting the rears they are not provided with sufficient space how to have four persons stayed at his interior. On the other hand this rubbish dump counts with a design somewhat modified as regards the model conventional 308, what many like but it seems simply slightly indifferent to others.

History of Skoda

The Czech manufacturer, who today visits our blog dedicated to the engine, is characterized for constructing sober, robust and economic models. At present Skoda perhaps is the signature with better relation quality / price of the market, after being absorbed by the German Group Volkswagen.

• Skoda; Czechoslovakia.
• Founded in 1924.
• Emblematic models: Type 430, Popular, Rapid, Favorit, 1102, Felicia.
• Models in production: Fabia, Octavia, SuperB, Roomster, Yeti …

The Skoda origins enough is necessary to look for them before the date of his foundation and in two different companies, Laurin Klement, who was devoting himself to the bicycles construction from 1899 and who began to construct cars in 1906, and ASSZ (Akcieva Spolecnot Skodovy Zavody), a powerful corporative group that they were devoting themselves to the armament. When ASSZ decided to enter the world of the motorcar, he bought Laurin Klement and his plant placed in Czechoslovakia.

Before being absorbed, Laurin and Klement made the best and most wished cars of the East, this cost him to open delegations in all the western countries. One year, after being bought by ASSZ, the cars that it was making received the name of Skoda. In 1933 there appeared the first pure Skoda, the Type 430, with engine of four cylinders, frame of central beam and suspension of oscillating axes. 430 it was breaking with traditionally made by Laurin and Klement and he supposed a big success of sales. Thanks to him, Skoda increased his scale with models like the Popular one, the Rapid and the Superb with engine of six cylinders.

After the second big warlike conflict, Czechoslovakia stayed in the area of influence of the USSR, and Skoda happened of making luxurious cars to more modest and robust models for imposition of the planned economic policy of the Soviet giant. A new factory was constructed in Mlada Boleslav and there bottoms kept on constructing Spartan vehicles with engine and haulage until middle of the 80. In 1987 the Favorit designed by Bertone appeared and with front haulage, this model supposed an inflection point for the mark. Skoda was capable of making cars very similar to those of the rest of Occident.

When the wall of Berlin fell down, Skoda turned into target of several car groups. In the end it was the German group Volkswagen who took charge of the mark in 1990.

Thanks to the technology of Volkswagen, Skoda, he lived through the second youth. The throwing of Octavia and of Fabia with German engines supposed a big success of sales and allowed to increase the production up to 350.000 cars at the end of the 90. The quality of the Skoda has grown in an exponential way, leaving this reputation of Spartan and mediocre, now there keep on being cars robust but loaded with technology and at very interesting prices.
