  • ADESA Partners with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Pilot Next Evolution of Simulcast Sale
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADESA Partners with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Pilot Next Evolution of Simulcast Sale Hosts Exclusive Livestreaming Sale from Four Locations as Part of FCA Inaugural CPOV Meeting CARMEL, Ind. – September 19, 2019 – ADESA, a business unit of global automotive remarketing and technology solutions provider KAR Auction Services Inc. (NYSE: KAR), partnered with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to pilot an ADESA Simulcast sale outside of the physical auction sale-day environment. As part of FCA’s inaugural national CPOV (certified preowned vehicle) dealer meeting, vehicles were launched into auction from four ADESA auction locations — ADESA Golden Gate, ADESA Indianapolis, ADESA Kansas City and ADESA Las Vegas. FCA CPO dealers attending the event were able to participate in fast, live bidding action. “We were extremely pleased to work with our strong partners at FCA to demonstrate the powerful potential of ADESA Simulcast to this sophisticated and tech savvy group of dealers,” said John Hammer, ADESA president. “ADESA Simulcast allows us to bring the auction right to our dealers — exposing sellers to a broader buyer base and helping buyers access the hard-to- find inventory they need. We were honored to pilot this with FCA and to add to the excitement and energy of their annual meeting.” Launched earlier this year, ADESA Simulcast is a cloud-based auction solution that allows dealers to participate virtually in multiple in-lane sales occurring in any location. As part of ADESA Simulcast, participating dealers can easily access detailed condition reports, photos, valuation tools and transportation options for purchased vehicles. The FCA sale was the first use of the technology to launch from multiple sites in a non-sale-day environment to a defined, exclusive group of dealers.

  • Chrysler Group Global Electric Motorcars LLC Remains Segment Leader in Industry
    Contact: Nick Cappa Dianna Gutierrez Chrysler Group Global Electric Motorcars LLC Remains Segment Leader in Industry Global Electric Motorcars (GEM) has sold more than 40,000 electric vehicles worldwide, logging almost a half billion emissions-free miles GEM vehicles have saved more than 19.5 million gallons of gasoline and reduced CO2 emissions by more than 93,000 metric tons CO2 reduction is equivalent to planting nearly a half-million CO2 absorbing trees Chrysler Group LLC celebrates 10 years with GEM subsidiary January 24, 2010, Washington, D.C. - Chrysler Group LLC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Electric Motorcars (GEM), has reached a milestone in the Low-speed Vehicle (LSV) industry by selling more than 40,000 GEM battery-electric vehicles. The GEM vehicle line is 100 percent electric and emits zero tailpipe emissions. GEM vehicles have been driven almost 500 million emission- free miles, saving more than 19.5 million gallons of gasoline. This translates into a CO2 reduction equivalent to planting nearly a half-million trees. “GEM is a successful example of how Chrysler Group is reducing CO2 emissions while answering customer needs for alternatively powered vehicles,” said Steve Bartoli—Head of Regulatory Affairs and Engineering Planning, Chrysler Group LLC. “GEM is directly responsible for cutting CO2 output by more than 93,000 tons by replacing gasoline-powered vehicles with electric vehicles.” The Fargo, North Dakota based manufacturer was acquired 10 years ago by Chrysler Group to assist the major automaker in their continuing efforts and commitment to developing, producing and selling environmentally-friendly vehicles. GEM Battery-Electric Vehicles – The Eco-Friendly, Cost-Effective Transportation Alternative Classified as Low Speed Vehicles (LSV) or Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the GEM vehicle line is street-legal in most states on roads posted 35 mph or less.

The Halifax Regional Municipality, a body corporate duly incorporated pursuant to the laws of Nova Scotia c.o.b. under the name of Metro Transit and Joey Williams Defendants D E C I S I O N Judge: The Honourable Justice Christa M. Brothers Heard: December 13, 14, 18, 19, and 20, 2017, in Halifax, Nova Scotia Decision: June 20, 2018 Counsel: Wayne Bacchus and Igor Yushchenko, for the plaintiff Guy Harfouche and Brandon Knill, Articled Clerk, for the defendants Page 2 Brothers J.: Overview [1] On the afternoon of May 16, 2011, the plaintiff, Mr. Orlov, boarded a Metro Transit Bus instead of walking to work at Mount Saint Vincent University (“MSVU”), where he was employed as a Librarian. It was a rainy, wet day. Metro Transit Bus No. 971 (the “bus”) stopped at 357 Bedford Highway, headed towards Halifax when the plaintiff boarded. The plaintiff was an experienced bus passenger. While holding his wallet, a bag and a transfer, the plaintiff walked 2018 NSSC 152 (CanLII) toward the back of the bus, fell, and broke his ankle (the “accident”). The sole issue for determination is liability. Damages have been agreed to by the parties. [2] What caused the plaintiff to fall? The plaintiff advanced four theories of causation: 1. The speed of the bus leaving the stop was excessive; 2. The floor of the bus was worn and caused the plaintiff to slip; 3.

  • To All Chrysler Employees, Dealers, Suppliers and Other Stakeholders
    To all Chrysler employees, dealers, suppliers and other stakeholders: With this week’s announcement of our nonbinding agreement for a strategic alliance with Fiat, I want to update you on where we stand in our continuing efforts to manage our business through the current economic downturn and put Chrysler on a path to long-term success. This potential alliance has the opportunity to greatly benefit America by preserving American jobs, stabilizing the economy including the important domestic auto industry and expanding the availability of small, fuel efficient automobiles. Throughout this process we will work with the U.S. government to ensure Chrysler meets all the terms of the U.S. Treasury loan agreement, including the submission of a restructuring plan that assures Chrysler’s long-term viability, timely loan repayment and energy efficiency. It is important to note that no U.S. taxpayer funds would go to Fiat. Our Vision, Mission and Strategic Framework Continues One year ago, we began our first full year as an independent company with a three- part strategic framework to help focus our efforts and align our resources toward our goal of returning to profitability. The framework is comprised of three basic principles: Enhance our core: invest in product enhancements; strengthen our customer focus; improve our relationship with our dealers; and recommit the entire organization to a new level of quality. Extend our business: develop or establish partnerships to provide new products; build off of existing products to extend into new segments; explore new and adjacent market opportunities; and accelerate new technologies and innovation. Expand our market: pursue global alliances to fill gaps in our product portfolio and open new geographic opportunities; increase global sales by building from our existing dealer network; and invest closer to our global customers by enhancing regional business operations and global engineering centers.
