  • Evaluating the Effect of US Domestic Content Requirements
    Cross-Border Markets: Evaluating the Effect of U.S. Domestic Content Requirements on the U.S.-Canada Economic Partnership WSHDC-RFP-004 September 15, 2017 Submitted by The Trade Partnership 1701 K Street, NW Suite 575 Washington, DC 20006 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study examines the effeCt of U.S. domestiC Content requirements on the U.S.-Canada eConomiC partnership. We examine the impaCts by ConduCting in-depth interviews with offiCials at Companies with signifiCant Cross-border trade where domestiC Content requirements do (e.g., Buy America or Buy AmeriCan rules) or Could (e.g., proposed rule requiring U.S. steel in pipelines) shape supply chains. We also spoke to U.S. government agenCies whose proCurement is subjeCt to suCh rules. We found: U.S. domestic content requirements can impact U.S. companies by limiting sourcing options and increasing product costs, both of which negatively impact U.S. jobs and competitiveness. • Buy AmeriCa requirements Can prevent Companies from purChasing some inputs from preferred suppliers, even if few alternative U.S. suppliers exist. • Many U.S. manufaCturing jobs exist in spite, not beCause, of domestiC Content requirements. • DomestiC Content requirements Can Create additional ComplianCe Costs for Companies selling similar produCts to both CommerCial and federally funded projeCts. • Taking additional steps to Comply with domestiC Content requirements Can inCrease the priCe of goods signifiCantly without leading to a similar increase in U.S. jobs. Proposed domestic content changes that could prevent companies from sourcing from Canada would disrupt existing supply chains and harm many U.S. businesses, particularly in the short term.

  • Harry Ricardo – a Passion for Efficiency
    The Piston Engine Revolution Harry Ricardo – A Passion for Efficiency David Morrison Harry Ricardo, born in 1885, was a true pioneer of internal combustion engine research and development, designing and building his first practical engine from the age of 16. His early life, especially at Trinity College, Cambridge, coincided with some key embryonic developments in internal combustion engines, which had a strong influence on his research, especially the work of Bertram Hopkinson and Sir Dugald Clerk. He was passionate about energy efficiency in both his business and private life. This paper covers Harry Ricardo’s early work, experimenting with stratified charge concepts as early as 1903, leading to his work in the early decades of the twentieth century which generated internationally-renowned designs in both diesel and gasoline road vehicle combustion systems. Of these, perhaps the Comet indirect injection system for diesel engines was the most prolific and persisted in various forms well into the 1980s. A very important opportunity for the company was the early work with Shell to study the influence of fuel properties, using a Ricardo variable compression ratio engine. During his time, he had none of the powerful simulation and visualisation tools we take for granted today. He had to use his vivid imagination by trying to visualise what the airflow and fuel mixing must be like inside a combustion chamber. Significant engines up to 1950 included the Dolphin two-stroke, the Comet IDI diesel engine for the world’s first production diesel car – the Citroen Rosalie, the Rolls-Royce diesel conversion for the Flying Spray land speed record car and many developments of spark-ignition combustion systems, including the Turbulent Head.

Attending trade shows is a big investment in time and money but works on a number of levels and it can be an extremely cost-effective way to develop leads and make sales if properly planned. Sustainable success is only likely to develop with regular year-on-year attendance at the same shows demonstrating your credibility, stability and long-term intention in the market. It may take several years of attendance at the same show before potential customers start to develop stronger interest in your company. Taking part in overseas shows and exhibitions is a considerable cost- although the SMMT UK Group Pavilion format and UKTI Tradeshow Access Grant scheme support can substantially reduce costs compared to “going it alone”. Skilful planning and execution, before, during and after the trade show, is essential to get results and the following checklist of 12 points might help you get the most from future events: 1. Set objectives – Understand what you want to achieve and who on the stand is tasked to do what each day. You may want to increase market share, introduce new products or services, check out competitors, meet and socialise with existing clients, meet / train agents or distributors, etc.

  • Gt500 Reborn As a Modern Thoroughbred
    GT500 REBORN AS A MODERN THOROUGHBRED: SHELBY, SVT CREATE MOST POWERFUL MUSTANG EVER "Mustang Dream Team" of Carroll Shelby and Ford SVT develop a worthy successor to the legendary Shelby GT500 of the late '60s Shelby Cobra GT500 has modern performance credentials: 450-plus-hp, supercharged V-8, 6-speed manual transmission, SVT-tuned suspension SVT functional features with Shelby design flare - LeMans racing stripes, aerodynamic enhancements and 19-inch wheels with cross-drilled brake rotors The driving zone - red leather seat and door trim, titanium-faced gauges SOUNDBITES: FORD SHELBY COBRA GT500 Click here to view the entire press kit. The most powerful factory-built Ford Mustang in history takes to the street next year, following a unique collaboration between performance car legend Carroll Shelby and the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT). Ford took the wraps off the 450-plus-horsepower Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 show car at the New York International Auto Show March 23. Designed in the unmistakable image of Shelby Mustangs of the 1960s, the Shelby Cobra GT500 melds SVT's modern engineering with the big-block performance that made the original GT500 the king of the road. "The all-new 2005 Ford Mustang is one of the hottest cars in many years," says Phil Martens, Ford group vice president, Product Creation. "Its chassis was engineered from the beginning to be the basis of a high-performance, world-class sports car from SVT, and the Shelby Cobra GT500 is it." Carroll Shelby lends his support to SVT, adapting his earlier role as a senior advisor on the "Dream Team" that was assembled to develop and build the 2005 Ford GT.

  • The Legend of Ford and Carroll Shelby, Changing the Course of Automotive History
    The Legend of Ford and Carroll Shelby, Changing the Course of Automotive History In the early 1960s, the advent of the American muscle car era would mean high-power V8 engines, quicker-shifting four-on-the-floor transmissions, bigger tires and improved suspensions for faster elapsed times as drag strips popped up across the country. This fierce competition for bragging rights on the weekends would lead to an increase in vehicle sales on showroom floors come Monday. With Henry Ford II determined his company could compete with the best and fastest in the world, a boisterous young man from Texas with a reputation for building winning race chassis powered by Ford engines came to the attention of executives in Dearborn. Soon a collaboration formed between Carroll Shelby and his Shelby America and Ford Motor Company – one that would change the course of automotive history. 1965 Shelby GT350 Shelby GT350, the first high-performance Mustang While Ford engineers worked in secret to develop the revolutionary Mustang pony car, Shelby was already hard at work building Ford-powered cars to take on the world at Le Mans. As the very first 1965 Mustangs came off the line, several were quietly shipped to Shelby America in California for engineering of the first high-performance Mustang – the Shelby GT350. Less than a year after Mustang began production, Ford and Shelby pounced with the first high- performance model, Shelby GT350. Powered by a Shelby-modified Ford 289 high-performance V8 churning out 306 horsepower, the 1965 Mustang Shelby GT350 competition models were built and homologated for SCCA competition, quickly winning the first race on February 14, 1965.
