  • Alfa Romeo Opens the Doors to Its Historical Museum in Arese Alfa
    Alfa Romeo opens the doors to its Historical Museum in Arese Alfa Romeo is celebrating its 105-year anniversary by opening its historical museum in Arese, Milan, Italy to the public; the museum – named “La macchina del tempo” - is the heart of a genuine “brand centre”, and it hosts a bookshop, café, documentation centre, test drive track, events venues and a show-room with a customer delivery area: it is the perfect bond between past, present and future. Inaugurated on 24th June during the world preview of the new Giulia, “La macchina del tempo – Museo storico Alfa Romeo”, is set to open to the public on 30th June and it will be open to visitors every day, except Tuesdays, from 10 am to 6 pm, with extended opening hours until 10 pm on Thursdays (www.museoalfaromeo.com). The Museum is home to the most significant pieces in Alfa Romeo's historic collection, which was put together from the early 1960s onwards. It was inaugurated in 1976 and was open to visitors by reservation only. Following the decommissioning of the Arese production plant and the ensuing loss of the Centre's directional role, the museum was closed in 2011. As part of Alfa Romeo's global relaunch plan, the Museum in Arese - symbolic location for the company's history – has been identified as the fulcrum of the brand's rebirth. At the end of 2013, the architect Benedetto Camerana was called upon to propose a new design that would integrate the relaunch objectives with the need to preserve the building. The works started in summer 2014, and in less than 12 months, a major restoration project affecting the entire complex was completed and achieved by FCA Partecipazioni.

  • Iniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club
    Iniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Summer Drive Coming Up on August 8th! This year the summer drive will include two hours of glori- ous cruising through the tall trees east of Woodinville fol- lowed by a very special point of interest in Kirkland. During the driving portion of the event we will circumnavigate Du- vall while exploring the Snoqualmie valley. After this beautiful back road drive we will head to Lake Washington Institute of Technology. The fine folks at Lake Washington Tech have agreed to show us their automotive program. For those who don't know the automotive pro- gram at LWIT has become quite extensive. Not only do they graduate gurus of wrenching but also artists of collision re- pair, painting and restoration. In fact, they have recently been lovingly restoring an ancient ALFA hard top. (Now that's a noble pursuit!) LWIT also provides education in a number of other programs covering health care, the culinary arts, horticulture and others. But really, none of these compare in importance to restoring old ALFA's. On August 8th at 11 AM, we will be leaving from the Starbucks at 18404 120th Ave NE in Bothell 98011. This is the unit across from the Home Depot near the intersection of Hwy 522 and I-405.

This is intended to be more manageable for readers; we now exclude much of the detail on historic developments at each vehicle company, information which can be found in previous editions of the report available on the SMMT website. www.smmt.co.uk. In addition, the model level information for vehicle production outside the UK is excluded from the current versions, although this data is available from Ian Henry of AutoAnalysis. Our focus is increasingly on developments in the UK, to make the report more relevant for UK suppliers; many of these companies should see major new business opportunities with increased sourcing at the tier 1 level in the UK especially, as well potential business too for smaller suppliers at the tier 2 and 3 level.

  • GAC Fiat Chrysler Automobile Case Study
    Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Nutanix Supports GAC Fiat Chrysler Provides Simple and Low-Cost Management, Fast Deployment, Automobile Sales’ Successful Trial of and Flexible, Horizontal Scale- Out of IT Infrastructure Hyperconverged Solutions CHALLENGES Headquartered in Shanghai, GAC Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Sales Co., Ltd. (GAC FCA) quickly evolved as the trailblazer in the post-joint- venture era of China’s auto industry with its successful sales of Jeep vehicles, especially its Cherokee, Renegade, and Compass domestic models. One of the main drivers of GAC FCA’s success story is its bold innovations in IT infrastructure and the use of new applications. As a young joint-venture, GAC FCA does not have any previous legacy of traditional IT infrastructure, giving it more freedom in how it develops IT systems. However, it still faces many challenges. First, rigid demands for the launch of a business made it imperative to choose an innovative infrastructure. If GAC FCA had chosen traditional IT infrastructure, it would have made it difficult for the business to take off in such a short time, both from the perspective of staffing and the launch time of the infrastructure itself. Second, in terms of cost, GAC FCA’s headquarters are in an office building where space constraints would make it difficult to cost- effectively build a significant datacenter with strong disaster recovery and load capacity. With more than 400 servers, it would have been a huge effort and massive challenge to put such a large datacenter in a regular office building. In addition, with future increases in business, the system would need to handle a growing number of services and amount of data.
