Based on Renault Group's EV technologies, RSM is currently developing a locally optimized EV model, SM3 Z.E. The company also participates in a smart grid test bed and other technologies in Jeju for further technical validations. It also formed partnerships with local leading companies such as LG Chem, LSIS, and SK Planet for EV production and developing a variety of initiatives such as EV rental service with POSCO ICT and EV used car business for the commercialization of EV. In addition to SM3 Z.E., RSM is also displaying SM3 2.0 Turbo Racing Car, which will debut at Korea's largest on­road car racing competition Super Race. SM3 Z.E., Genuine EV Leader SM3 Z.E. is RSM's main display model for BIMOS this year. The model is the company's 100% electric vehicle, which is to be produced and sold as the first Korean­made mass market sub­midsized EV. The EV model will feature a variety of newly developed technologies of Renault Group and RSM. Z.E. in SM3 Z.E. stands for Zero Emissions, which means that the car emits no carbon dioxide. SM3 Z.E. runs up to 182km in UDDS (Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule) mode on a single charge. The highest speed is 135km/h, and the engine has a maximum output of 70kW and maximum torque of 226Nm. The 24kW lithium­ion battery for SM3 Z.E. is vertically installed in the trunk, and the energy recovery system starts operating at low speed to recharge the battery. LG Chem's 24kW lithium­ion battery will be installed in the output from 2013. Three different charging methods are available for the battery of SM3 Z.E., which will begin to be mass­produced for retail sales in 2013. First, drivers can recharge the car battery with the 220V power supply at home or in the office under the normal charging mode. Second, the 400V AC quick charging system enables the recharge to be completed in 30 minutes. Lastly, drivers will be able to exchange their batteries through the Renault Group’s “Quick Drop” technology which takes only a few minutes. The quick drop method helps to extend the driving distance of EVs to facilitate long­distance driving with a single charge. RSM is currently developing various business models such as car sharing plans, car rentals, and EV taxis with several local partners. It plans to offer competitive EV products through attractive business models compared to regular gas­powered vehicles in consideration of the EV infrastructure establishment plans and state subsidies.

  • Es Renault a Évolué Au Cours Du Temps, Tout Ceci De Façon Succincte Et, Dès Lors, Forcément Approximative
    INTRODUCTION Les articles sur le Ping en entreprise sont habituellement présentés en deux parties : l’une consacrée à l’entreprise support du sport corpo et l’autre à notre discipline, retraçant le passé et le présent du club pongiste qui lui est associée. Avec Renault qui se situe dans le top 10 des entreprises françaises, que ce soit par le chiffre d’affaires ou par les effectifs, aussi par son histoire des plus mouvementée tout au long du 20ème siècle, le bulletin en entier n’y suffirait pas, avec le risque d’écraser ce qui constitue notre propos : parler avant tout du tennis de table en entreprise et surtout faire œuvre de neutralité pour préserver le sport de toute injonction philosophique, politique ou religieuse. Je propose donc d’occulter tout ce qui a constitué des faits de société pour s’en tenir à ce que l’entreprise Renault, par ses employés et dirigeants , a laissé de grandiose à l’histoire industrielle de notre pays et comment l’entreprise créée par les frères Renault a évolué au cours du temps, tout ceci de façon succincte et, dès lors, forcément approximative.. L’ENTREPRISE L’île SEGUIN appelée Billancourt ou le « Paquebot », siège historique de l’usine Louis RENAULT, a été acquise en 1929 et a fermé ses portes le 31 mars 1992, après 70 années de loyaux services et de dur labeur. Il a donc existé une autre adresse durant les 30 premières années, rue Emile Zola, toujours à Boulogne-Billancourt. La dernière voiture produite y fut la Renault Super 5. Le paquebot abrite désormais, à sa proue, la Seine musicale du conseil Général des Hauts-de-Seine.

    Automobile industry in India 30 Automobile industry in India The Indian Automobile industry is the seventh largest in the world with an annual production of over 2.6 million units in 2009.[1] In 2009, India emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of automobiles, behind Japan, South Korea and Thailand.[2] By 2050, the country is expected to top the world in car volumes with approximately 611 million vehicles on the nation's roads.[3] History Following economic liberalization in India in 1991, the Indian A concept vehicle by Tata Motors. automotive industry has demonstrated sustained growth as a result of increased competitiveness and relaxed restrictions. Several Indian automobile manufacturers such as Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra and Mahindra, expanded their domestic and international operations. India's robust economic growth led to the further expansion of its domestic automobile market which attracted significant India-specific investment by multinational automobile manufacturers.[4] In February 2009, monthly sales of passenger cars in India exceeded 100,000 units.[5] Embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s. Following the independence, in 1947, the Government of India and the private sector launched efforts to create an automotive component manufacturing industry to supply to the automobile industry. However, the growth was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s due to nationalisation and the license raj which hampered the Indian private sector. After 1970, the automotive industry started to grow, but the growth was mainly driven by tractors, commercial vehicles and scooters. Cars were still a major luxury. Japanese manufacturers entered the Indian market ultimately leading to the establishment of Maruti Udyog.
