British Car Brands – All British Car Companies The history of the British automotive industry traces its roots in the late 19th century when automakers tried to make some new vehicles but relying on German and French advances in car manufacturing. However, by 1900 Herbert Austin introduced an entirely British four-wheel car. His company – Wolseley Motors Limited – has actually become the largest car manufacturer in the UK. And other car producers took up the initiative opening the automotive era for Great Britain. By 1922 the country estimated 183 automakers and in the 1930-s it even outbid France to become the largest car manufacturer in Europe.

  • Vauxhall ,Pecial
    r~---- ' VAUXHALL ,PECIAL ... VOLUME 4 NUMBER 9 60 ---·l. .. 1 ... 11®®?7 Vauxhall workers have for years been the cinderellas of the motor industry. Their wages are far lower than those received elsewhere. At the same time management, with the direct assistance of the local union officials~ have been able to enforce a regime within the factory which allows the boss · to do exactly as he likes in a way unheard of in decently organized firms. For yèars there was 'industrial peace' and Vauxhall became known to car workers as the 'cabbage patch'. But the worms have turned. Spearheaded by the militant Paint Shop (where workers have not only been able to exercise some control over the speed of the line but also to win substantial increases in wages, an unheard of situation at Vauxhall), the rest of the factory has begun to move. In the last year there have been a number of walk-outs and other 'incidents~~ Negotiations have been under way since the beginning of the year for a substantial wage increase. Even if won in full this would still not bring Vauxhall wages in line with those paid nationally. On July 10, hiding behind the government•s Incomes Policy, the management issued a number of proposals in relation to what it called 'production and efficiency aspects•. These proposals in our view would be unacceptable at any price. On September 13, workers at Luton, Dunstable and Ellesmere Port, fed up with the way things were going, initiated a work-to-rule and overtime ban. They have insisted that negotiations on the company's proposals don't drag on and that the wage_rises be obtained forthwith, without strings.

  • Chassis and Impact Attenuator Design for Formula Student Racing
    CHASSIS AND IMPACT ATTENUATOR DESIGN FOR FORMULA STUDENT RACE CAR MECH 5825M Professional Project Chassis and Impact Attenuator design for Formula student Race car Ahmed Oshinibosi Project Supervisor: Prof. D.C Barton 30th August 2012 AKNOWLEGDEMENT Firstly, I would like to appreciate the effort of my supervisor, Professor David Barton who is the head of school of mechanical engineering for his invaluable contribution towards the successful completion of this project. Secondly, I am indebted to my employer, Tallent Automotive Limited who did not only provide financial assistance to me in order to pursue this postgraduate Master’s degree, but also gave me the permission to utilise the company’s software packages to carry out this project. I also want to use this opportunity to thank the faculty of engineering for awarding me the International Excellence scholarship which also contributed towards my tuition fees. ABSTRACT Generally, in the automotive industry, weight reduction, cost of engineering design and reduction in vehicle development cycle time are becoming increasingly focused on. In order to tackle this, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is popularly being used to lead design process. This is more efficient than just using CAE as a verification tool. In the design of the F15 chassis, suitable Finite Element Analysis (FEA) optimisation techniques have been adopted from the early design stage. The design problem in view of weight reduction and increasing torsional stiffness has been solved by means of topology optimisation and also by applying gauge optimisation at the later stage of the design phase to optimise the size of structural members of the chassis.

  • Mclaren AUTOMOTIVE STRENGTHENS GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS TEAM with the APPOINTMENT of NEW HEAD of PR
    Media Information EMBARGOED: 13:46.BST, 22 May 2012 McLAREN AUTOMOTIVE STRENGTHENS GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS TEAM WITH THE APPOINTMENT OF NEW HEAD OF PR McLaren Automotive has appointed Wayne Bruce to the position of Head of Public Relations, with ultimate responsibility for the company’s global automotive PR strategy incorporating all brand and product matters. The move is effective immediately. Bruce joins McLaren Automotive with more than 15 years’ Public Relations and Communications experience, most recently at Nissan’s luxury brand, Infiniti, where he was responsible for establishing its Communications function across Europe. Previously he also worked for Nissan, SEAT and Volkswagen. Prior to working in PR, Bruce was an automotive journalist with UK based CAR magazine. He will report to McLaren Automotive’s Sales and Marketing Director, Greg Levine, and also to McLaren Marketing’s Group Head of Communications and PR, Matt Bishop. Commenting on the appointment, Levine said: “I am so excited to have Wayne on board particularly at this time when McLaren Automotive is about to embark on a period of growth through the launch of new products and new markets. He brings with him not just the respect of the industry but also a wealth of relevant experience and knowledge. Wayne is a petrolhead, too, a vital qualification for working at McLaren Automotive.” In reply, Bruce said: “I have been watching the launch of the MP4-12C from the outside and to be invited to join the team who have already achieved so much was an opportunity that I couldn’t refuse. Especially at this point in time when McLaren Automotive is entering the next chapter in its exciting story.” Bruce succeeds Mark Harrison, who recently took the post of Regional Director for McLaren Automotive Middle East and Africa, and will be located at the McLaren Technology Centre in Southern England.
