  • Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. Ltd. Assigned 'BBB-' Rating; Outlook Stable
    Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. Ltd. Assigned 'BBB-' Rating; Outlook Stable 19-Mar-2019 05:38 EDT View Analyst Contact Information We expect Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. Ltd. to continue to gain market share, supported by good product design, improving quality, and a strong pipeline of new models at its subsidiaries. This is despite uncertainties in global auto demand. In our view, the China-based automaker will maintain modest leverage, thanks to its stable profitability and strong operating cash flows. On March 19, 2019, S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BBB-' long-term issuer credit rating to Zhejiang Geely Holding. The stable outlook reflects our view that Zhejiang Geely Holding will continue to gradually grow its auto revenue and profit, and sustain moderate leverage over the next 12-24 months, despite a competitive and volatile market. HONG KONG (S&P Global Ratings) March 19, 2019--The rating on Zhejiang Geely Holding reflects our expectation that the company will continue to strengthen its position in the global and China's automotive industry over the next 12-24 months. In our view, Zhejiang Geely Holding could also improve its groupwide competitive position. This will be supported by sustained technology improvement, strong product pipeline, platform synergy, and successful marketing and sales execution of its major subsidiaries Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. (Geely Auto), Lynk & Co, and Volvo Car AB (Volvo Car). We expect Geely Auto to continue its solid sales momentum over the next 12-24 months, outpacing market growth. The sales momentum would stem from the sustained quality improvements on the back of its research and development (R&D) effort and comprehensive cooperation with Volvo Car.

  • When Will Cars Fly? Microtek Newsletter – April 2021
    When will cars fly? Microtek Newsletter – April 2021 I know the title sounds funny but it is a reality that we are inventing flying cars right now. The demand is there (in so- many-ways) and the technology is advancing to allow it to become a reality. As of March 20, 2021 – there were 14 prototypes of flying cars in development. We will discuss what is being developed now and where our flying-car future may evolve to. There are many billionaires with large funds to help develop the prototypes of this technology. When you combine the potential future profits and the “bragging” rights, you will understand that billions of dollars are being spent now with billions more to be spent in the near future. I would like to illustrate the different types of “flying” cars we have now. WHAT IS A FLYING CAR The definition of a flying car is a vehicle that can drive on the road and fly in the air. There are two main types of flying cars. You have models that follow the principals of an airplane and models that follow the principals of a helicopter/drone. The difference is defined in the following way. Airplanes need a runway to reach a certain speed before it can leave the ground. Helicopters/drones can go straight up into the air without needing to reach a certain speed first. Helicopters have one or two sets of exposed blades. Drones have two or more sets of enclosed blades. Enclosed blades are much safer on public vehicles and they are much more likely to be approved for use by non-professionals.

Renault Group, a global company with French roots and 120 years of history in the automotive industry, and Geely Holding Group, China’s largest privately-owned automotive group, today jointly announced an MoU framework agreement to create an innovative cooperation. The cooperation, focused on China and South Korea as initial key core markets, will allow Renault Group and Geely Holding to share resources and technologies. The focus will be on hybrid vehicles in the fast-growing Asian markets. Following the adoption by Geely Holding’s opensource strategy for its full vehicle architectures, Geely Holding will partner with Renault Group in the Chinese and Korean markets. In China, based on Geely Holding’s existing technologies and mature industrial footprint, both partners will jointly introduce Renault- branded hybrid vehicles. Renault will contribute on branding strategy, channel and service development, defining appropriate customer journey. In South Korea, where Renault Samsung Motors has over two decades of experience, the MoU allows Renault Group and Geely Holding to jointly explore localization of vehicles based on Lynk & Co’s energy-efficient vehicle platforms for local markets.

    1997-2014 Update to FAA Historical Chronology: Civil Aviation and the Federal Government, 1926-1996 (Washington, DC: Federal Aviation Administration, 1998) 1997 January 2, 1997: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an airworthiness directive requiring operators to adopt procedures enabling the flight crew to reestablish control of a Boeing 737 experiencing an uncommanded yaw or roll – the phenomenon believed to have brought down USAir Flight 427 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1994. Pilots were told to lower the nose of their aircraft, maximize power, and not attempt to maintain assigned altitudes. (See August 22, 1996; January 15, 1997.) January 6, 1997: Illinois Governor Jim Edgar and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley announced a compromise under which the city would reopen Meigs Field and operate the airport for five years. After that, Chicago would be free to close the airport. (See September 30, 1996.) January 6, 1997: FAA announced the appointment of William Albee as aircraft noise ombudsman, a new position mandated by the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-264). (See September 30, 1996; October 28, 1998.) January 7, 1997: Dredging resumed in the search for clues in the TWA Flight 800 crash. The operation had been suspended in mid-December 1996. (See July 17, 1996; May 4, 1997.) January 9, 1997: A Comair Embraer 120 stalled in snowy weather and crashed 18 miles short of Detroit [Michigan] Metropolitan Airport, killing all 29 aboard. (See May 12, 1997; August 27, 1998.) January 14, 1997: In a conference sponsored by the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security and held in Washington, DC, at George Washington University, airline executives called upon the Clinton Administration to privatize key functions of FAA and to install a nonprofit, airline-organized cooperative that would manage security issues.
