"The world is thinking small like never before: Smaller fuel consumption, smaller CO2 footprint, smaller overall emissions. Today small is beautiful and Hyundai is ready to answer the call to small with our new Kappa inline four cylinder engine," said President and Chief Technology Officer Lee Hyun­Soon. Hyundai's i10 minicar with a 1.25 liter Kappa engine will deliver a fuel economy rating of 5.0L/100km (47 mpg) in the European combined test cycle­­for best in class performance.

    Séminaire Management de l’innovation n n n Séance du 21 novembre 2018 Comment un équipementier français organise ses activités en Chine : l’expérience de Valeo par n Édouard de Pirey n Vice-président du groupe de produits Systèmes d’électrification, Valeo En bref La Chine va vite, très vite. Usine du monde il y a deux décennies, elle est désormais une source majeure d’innovation, en particulier en matière d’intelligence artificielle, et elle bénéficie d’un marché intérieur en pleine expansion. Pour Valeo, équipementier mondialement reconnu pour ses technologies et présent en Chine depuis plus de vingt ans, le challenge est dorénavant de répondre aux exigences croissantes des constructeurs automobiles locaux, tout en s’intégrant aux nouvelles ambitions globales de l’empire du Milieu. Être chinois en Chine tout en restant un groupe international, développer localement des produits répondant aux exigences internationales les plus élevées, faire confiance et développer les compétences locales, tels sont les défis relevés aujourd’hui avec succès par Valeo Chine et ses équipes. Compte rendu rédigé par Pascal Lefebvre L’Association des Amis de l’École de Paris du management organise des débats et en diffuse les comptes rendus, les idées restant de la seule responsabilité de leurs auteurs.
