So why am I reviewing it again you ask? Well, there’s a story... Rear-hinged roof provides plenty of living area headroom.

And 700 and is being ordered in is that it is a campervan, not Mini Touring Test: Trakka Trakkadu AT 32 Above and below: From any angle the Trakkadu AT is an impressive looking vehicle. a mini motorhome. By that I mean it’s intended for people who like to live outdoors and are (probably) used to camping. It’s a vehicle you use as a base for outdoor activities rather than sitting inside and enjoying the outdoor view. Interior space, whilst generous, is limited in the ultimate terms, as is the sleeping accommodation, while the lack of a bathroom requires night time weewee walks or a porta potty inside. The flipside is that this is a vehicle that can be your only car and even double as a small people mover, so it’s family in many garages. In fact its range comes in five flavours, friendly (a roof bed for kids is features and abilities make it starts at $87,500 drive away optionally available).

Importantly, after an eon, Volkswagen finally offers its popular and advanced 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox to T5 customers. What’s DSG?

Much quicker: About 8 milliseconds for an upshift and 600 for a downshift. It’s a totally different system to the automated manual transmission in a Fiat Ducato, for example, which is a normal manual transmission with a bolt-on computer control module that makes all the gearshifts for you. There has been much negative press recently surrounding the So easy even; guess I’d better not say that! Volkswagen DSG gearbox, but the good news for T5 owners is that the seven speed unit in it is different to the six speed unit being recalled. Getting back to the engine, the twin-turbo arrangement is designed to offset the engine’s lack of capacity by providing one turbo for off-idle (low speed) work and the second for mid-to-high range power. The figures of 132 kW and 400 Nm from such a small engine Dash is as modern and well finished as most luxury cars. 34 Mini Touring Test: Trakka Trakkadu AT 35 No matter the road surface the Trakkadu AT is remarkably sure footed and confidence inspiring.

  • Communication and PR in Crisis Situations
    Theoretical and Applied Economics FdraganF Volume XXIII (2016), No. 3(608), Autumn, pp. 361-370 Communication and PR in crisis situations Claudia Elena PAICU Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Romania [email protected] Laurențiu Gabriel FRÂNCU Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Romania [email protected] Abstract. Nowadays, more than ever, society is a genuine environment for conducting organizational identity and image. Organizational identity proves to be a central element of the activities and organizational strategies. However, organizations can not hide behind images and brands of its own portfolio. If the organization would be wrong, surely this will be felt strongly at the image and at the organizational identity and also at the level of publics, including here consumers, suppliers, shareholders, employees and the community generally. Therefore, it is important to understand that, in times of crisis, communications and PR programs must be thought and targeted both externally, by organizational branding, and internal, through a program of vision. But these are two directions intertwining, so that organizational branding will be felt internal, inspired by the internal values and the organizational culture, and the vision will be the one who is going to transmit the corporate identity to external publics. This article aims to analyze, from this perspective, one of the latest image crisis, in the auto market, the one of the German producer Volkswagen. Keywords: communication, public relations, organizational branding, image crisis, competitiveness. JEL Classification: D00; M14; M21; M31. 362 Claudia Elena Paicu, Laurențiu Gabriel Frâncu Introduction The communication and PR programs are designed and implemented from an internal and external perspective.
