  • Combination of Brexit and Ceta - Moving Vehicle Platforms from 1
    COMBINATION OF BREXIT AND CETA - MOVING VEHICLE PLATFORMS FROM 1 UK TO CANADA Combination of Brexit and CETA - Study on the Possibility of Motor Corporations Moving Vehicle Platforms from UK to Canada Junxi YU Engineering and Public Policy, McMaster University COMBINATION OF BREXIT AND CETA - MOVING VEHICLE PLATFORMS FROM 2 UK TO CANADA Abstract With the help from Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) signed in 2016, enormous opportunities and benefits have been created for the automotive industry in Canada. Specifically, European Union(EU) tariffs immediately eliminated on all Canadian auto parts that exported to EU. In the European market, UK has been a competitor to Canada in the automotive industry. After Brexit, without the benefits of free trade within EU, vehicles manufactured in the UK will start to lose their appeal in price gradually. In the thesis, a comparison on the current situation of five motor corporations in Canada and the corresponding motor corporations in the UK was made. It was found that only Honda Canada and Honda UK have an identical vehicle platform referred as Honda Civic platform, which produces same vehicle models, namely Honda Civic Type R and Honda CRV. On the contrast, the other four auto corporations don’t possess a same vehicle platform, producing same vehicle models in Canada and UK. A thorough analysis on Honda Motor Company was conducted. The total costs including vehicle price, shipping costs, tariff and currency exchange rate for EU consumers to purchase a car from the same platform in Canada and UK was calculated separately. By comparing the total costs of the two purchasing routes, the conclusion and recommendations was provided.

  • General Motors WE CARE Case Study Air Filter Refurbishment Program
    General Motors WE CARE Case Study Air Filter Refurbishment Program Moves Forward GM Vehicle Operations, Flint Truck Assembly, Flint, Michigan: Recipient of a 2002 WE CARE Award for Materials Conservation/Pollution Prevention Description of the Facility: The General Motors (GM) Flint Truck Assembly plant is located in Flint, Michigan. The 3.2 million square foot facility is situated on 159 acres and employs over 3,100 people. Flint Truck produces the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Crew Cab and the new 560 Medium duty truck. Description of the Opportunity: Air filtration systems that utilize cylindrical air filters are used extensively throughout GM Assembly, Metal Fabricating, and Powertrain Operations. These air filtration systems filter particulate matter from the air that is generated from plant production activities, such as welding. Therefore, these systems help keep plant indoor air clean. The system uses filters, which are changed on a regular basis when dirty as indicated by pressure differential. The filters are typically two feet in height, 15 to 20-inches in diameter, and weigh 12 to 15 pounds new. They consist of a mesh metal cylinder, metal end caps, neoprene seals, and a polyester-blend pleated media. In the past, used filters were placed in a 20 or 32-yard waste gondola. When the gondola was full, it was removed and the filters were placed in a landfill. Description of the Improvement: Flint Truck Assembly was the first GM plant to utilize a new development in air filter reuse and recycling. The process involves a GM supplier who built a mobile recycling unit, based on GM recommendations.

The Camaro shared its platform and major components with the Pontiac Firebird , also introduced for Four distinct generations of the Camaro were developed before production ended in The nameplate was revived on a concept car that evolved into the fifth-generation Camaro ; production started on March 16, Before any official announcement, reports began running during April within the automotive press that Chevrolet was preparing a competitor to the Ford Mustang , code-named Panther. Hope you can be on hand to help scratch a cat. Details will follow It was the first time that 14 cities were connected in real-time for a press conference via telephone lines. Estes then announced a new car line, project designation XP , with a name that Chevrolet chose in keeping with other car names beginning with the letter C such as the Corvair , Chevelle , Chevy II , and Corvette. He claimed the name, suggests the comradeship of good friends as a personal car should be to its owner and that to us, the name means just what we think the car will do The Camaro name was then unveiled. Payen-Payne printed in Lund and Mr. Rollett found the word camaro in the French-English dictionary was slang , to mean friend, pal, or comrade. The article further repeated Estes's statement of what the word camaro was meant to imply, that the car's name "suggests the comradeship of good friends, as a personal car should be to its owner".
