    Hybrids Are One Solution to Cutting Fuel and Emissions, but Manufacturers Are Making Great Strides with Electric Vehicles

    P010_TENG_MAY10.qxp:Layout 1 22/4/10 10:45 Page 10 Hybrids are one solution to cutting fuel and emissions, but manufacturers are making great strides with electric vehicles. Dan Jenkins examines how technology and engineering may yet enable longer ranges and greater loads he next 18 months will deliver the most exciting developments in commercial electric vehicles (EVs) since the first Tplausible battery-powered vans arrived in 2005. Modec and Smith Electric Vehicles have virtually had the market to themselves for the past five years. But, by 2011, we will have experienced an explosion of new electric LCVs, from major OEMs including Mercedes-Benz, Ford and Renault. After a flying start, Modec’s striking 5.5t chassis cab has, by the company’s own admission, struggled to gain traction within the UK. The requirement for a C1 licence and O-licence means the Modec is simply unsuitable for widespread applications in LCV fleets. Martin Flach, product director at Iveco UK, sums up the challenge: “If you’re a supermarket doing home deliveries, you want to run 3.5-tonne vans from the back of the shop. Drivers mostly won’t Photo: Dean Smith, Camera Crew Photo: Dean Smith, have Class C driving capability or grandfather rights these days, so they’re limited to 3.5t on a B licence. Also, they don’t want to O-licence every one of their shops. Distribution centres are one thing, but not the shops.” State of the market Beyond the UK, Modec is enjoying good times – more than 90% of the company’s sales are exports, boosted by the recent joint venture with US truck manufacturer Navistar.

    The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders

    The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders InternationalInternational Automotive Automotive Summit Summit 2424 November November 2009 2009 Chief executive’s welcome I am delighted to welcome you here this afternoon to SMMT’s first International Automotive Summit. We meet at an extremely important time, having endured the most difficult economic conditions, and this event gives us the chance to look beyond the recession and recognise the opportunities that lie ahead. Across the political spectrum there is widespread recognition that the UK cannot thrive on financial services alone. Manufacturing, and particularly automotive manufacturing, has a vital role to play in a more balanced economy and will be one of the generators of jobs and prosperity in the years ahead. Government has recognised the strategic national importance of our sector and through its support for the New Automotive Innovation and Growth Team’s report, has committed to a long-term partnership with the motor industry. In terms of our future, we know the global demand for motor vehicles will return. The fast growing markets in Brazil, India and China will continue to embrace personal mobility at faster rates and the replacement cycle for vehicles in developed markets will return. But this future demand will be for cleaner, safer and more fuel-efficient vehicles that can be developed and manufactured anywhere in the world. The challenge for the UK motor industry, and the government, is how to ensure the UK retains and grows its share of the developing global market. The UK’s automotive strengths – efficiency, productivity, innovative R&D and a flexible workforce have already attracted a diverse presence of vehicle manufacturers from Europe, Japan, Malaysia, China, Kuwait, India and the US.

Never before has this famous line meant more. The roller coaster ride that the last two years took the global economy through, proved one fact – that a successful enterprise needs to have the resilience to withstand the highs and lows of a future that often comes unheralded. As a global enterprise, Tata Steel was not unaffected by the challenges of the last two years. Yet, the Company demonstrated resilience by taking several proactive initiatives across all geographies. A tough start to the year was balanced by a rebound in the second half, when these initiatives began to pay off. Undeterred by the economic turbulence, the Company continued to place emphasis on working practices in health, safety and corporate citizenship, with specific initiatives taken in all these areas. In addition, a continued focus on engineering solutions for customers, is helping it maintain its position of a product pioneer. Tata Steel believes in staying alert to future opportunities while never letting go of its core values. This is the philosophy that has underpinned its growth over the years and one that remains its key driving force. 001-011_Part01_TSAR10.indd 1 7/7/10 12:55:19 PM Inside the gas holder - part of the BOS gas recovery scheme at Port Talbot, UK.
