  • The Automobile in Japan
    International and Japanese Studies Symposium The Automobile in Japan Stewart Lone, Associate Professor of East Asian History, Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra Japan and the Age of Speed: Urban Society and the Automobile, 1925-30 p.1 Christopher Madeley, Chaucer College, Canterbury Kaishinsha, DAT, Nissan and the British Motor Vehicle Industry p.15 The Suntory Centre Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Related Disciplines London School of Economics and Political Science Discussion Paper Houghton Street No. IS/05/494 London WC2A 2AE July 2005 Tel: 020-7955-6699 Preface A symposium was held in the Michio Morishima room at STICERD on 7 April 2005 to discuss aspects of the motor industry in Japan. Stewart Lone discussed the impact which the introduction of the motor car had on Japan’s urban society in the 1920s, especially in the neighbourhood of the city of Kyoto. By way of contrast, Christopher Madeley traced the relationship between Nissan (and its predecessors) and the British motor industry, starting with the construction of the first cars in 1912 by the Kaishinsha Company, using chassis imported from Swift of Coventry. July 2005 Abstracts Lone: The 1920s saw the emergence in Kansai of modern industrial urban living with the development of the underground, air services; wireless telephones, super express trains etc. Automobiles dominated major streets from the early 1920s in the new Age of Speed. Using Kyoto city as an example, the article covers automobile advertising, procedures for taxis, buses and cars and traffic safety and regulation. Madeley: Nissan Motor Company had a longer connection with the British industry than any other Japanese vehicle manufacturer.

  • Designing a Rapid Deployment Emergency Services
    Designing a Rapid Deployment Emergency Services (RapiDES) Vehicle for 2020: Addressing the problem of ever increasing traffic delaying the emergency services vehicles in big cities by Martin CS Tee A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design in Industrial Design Department of Art and Design University of Alberta © Martin CS Tee, 2015 ABSTRACT This thesis/project is about the design process of designing a conceptual vehicle design that responds to a growing global phenomenon of ever increasing traffic congestion delaying emergency response times of various emergency services. This thesis aims at establishing the case for a smarter, smaller and more responsive emergency services vehicle design by first looking at the phenomenon of ever increasing traffic volume in big cities around the world particularly in North America, examining the causes and consequences of traffic congestion, and identifying the most critical impact it causes which is on the emergency response times of various emergency services which makes a difference between life and death with a minute’s delay to the scene. The thesis then attempts to offer a solution with the accompanying practical project focusing on designing a Rapid Deployment Emergency Services (RapiDES) vehicle for the near future (2020) to meet the challenges of saving lives and properties in a quick and responsive way. This design of RapiDES will serve as a baseline model for the North American context and can be modified to suit the needs and requirements for other markets. The design requirements and key features of RapiDES are generated and described in the Design Brief of RapiDES as a result of rigorous research mapping exercise and scenario studies of RapiDES in action for the three emergency services of EMS, fire rescue and law enforcement.

    MASTER EN INGENIERÍA DE AUTOMOCIÓN ESCUELA DE INGENIERÍAS INDUSTRIALES TRABAJO FIN DE MÁSTER ANÁLISIS DE LA INDUSTRIA DE AUTOMOCIÓN EN EL REINO UNIDO Autor: D. Diego Santos Sancho Tutor: D. Francisco Tinaut Fluixá Valladolid, Septiembre de 2015 Escuela Ingenierías Industriales Fundación Cidaut Depto. Ingª Energética y Fluidomecánica Parque Tecnológico de Boecillo, 209 Paseo del Cauce s/n 47151 Boecillo (Valladolid) 47011 Valladolid España (España) SECTOR AUTOMOCIÓN EN REINO UNIDO ANÁLISIS DE LA INDUSTRIA DE AUTOMOCIÓN EN EL REINO UNIDO RESUMEN Reino Unido (R.U.) es un país peculiar, con multitud aspectos diferentes respecto a otros países, y más concretamente en la forma de conducir y en su red de carreteras. Cuenta con una gran tradición automovilística desde principios del siglo 20, y a lo largo de este tiempo han surgido importantes marcas. En cuanto al panorama actual de su industria automovilística, está experimentando un crecimiento considerable después de las inversiones de años anteriores, y la recuperación de la economía global. Reino Unido está siendo uno de los países con mayor número de contrataciones actualmente. Mucha gente piensa que su industria automotriz ha estado en un estado de decadencia desde la década de 1960. Pero aunque no hay grandes fabricantes de automóviles de propiedad británica, la industria está en muy buena forma. Empresas como Nissan y Honda se instalaron en Reino Unido; marcas icónicas como Rolls-Royce y Bentley, ahora en manos de los gigantes alemanes BMW y Volkswagen, respectivamente (BMW también es propietaria de Mini, que se hace en Oxford), todavía están diseñando y fabricando en Reino Unido; y Tata de la India ha revitalizado Jaguar y Land Rover, con nuevos modelos.

  • Coastal Classics
    CHAIRMAN’S CHAT. Coastal 39s 5d As I sit here writing this, I reflect on this current year of isolation for many and restrictions for others. Its been a year of being able to get those necessary jobs done on the classics for Classics many with the lack of shows. Let’s hope we can see an end to this and hopefully next year be able to get out and about again. Somehow, we will soon have a committee meeting, social distanced of course, to decide on events for next year and to whether the AGM, scheduled for February can go ahead or do we postpone it for a few months. The later looks likely but we shall try to keep you informed of any necessary developments. The same will Covid Car Show apply to our Annual Dinner which was due to take place in January. Should you be wondering why you have not received a reminder about your Membership well its been decided that this will be suspended for this year and hopefully will start again in 2021. For those that have paid this year a free year next year will be given too you. As you can imagine the lack of our two shows has hit us fairly hard so we shall have to postpone our usual donations to charities this year with reluctance I must admit. What more can I say other than keep safe and let’s hope this dreadful virus comes to an end soon so we can get out and about again and back to normality? Your Chairman.
