    NEWS RELEASE 10 December 2009 LowCVP Technology Challenge winners present eco-innovations to car industry leaders Six small businesses at the leading edge of low carbon innovation in the automotive sector today have the undivided attention of senior executives from global car companies at a LowCVP event chaired by Richard Parry-Jones, co-chair of the new Automotive Council. Axon Automotive, Brunel University, Controlled Power Technologies, EVO-Electric, Libralato and Oxy-Gen Combustion are today announced as the Winners of LowCVP’s Technology Challenge. Winning the Challenge provides these up-and- coming companies with the unique opportunity to pitch their ideas directly to industry leaders. Demonstrating serious interest in sourcing low carbon car solutions are senior executives from Nissan, Jaguar Land Rover, Ford, Tata Motors, General Motors, McLaren Automotive, Modec, Alexander Dennis, SMTC UK, Denso, GKN, Kautex- Unipart, Shell International and TRW. “The Technology Challenge provides a unique opportunity for some of the best of the low carbon automotive technology companies to access potential partners and customers and to learn more about some very innovative technologies” says LowCVP’s Managing Director Greg Archer. “The strong support from major vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers is an indication of their commitment to finding solutions to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and confidence in UK companies’ ability to deliver these solutions.” The LowCVP challenged emerging businesses to help manufacturers achieve less than 80g/km of CO2 from their conventional, internal combustion passenger cars. The event aims to provide an opportunity for collaboration between the developers of new technology and the mainstream automotive industry, in line with one of the recommendations of the New Automotive Innovation and Growth Team (NAIGT) and the activities of the new Automotive Council.

  • A Time of Unprecedented Change in the Transport System
    — History — Governance — Trends A time of — People — Future — Scenarios for 2040 unprecedented — Geography change in the transport system January 2019 The Future of Mobility Preface Transport is critical for the economy. It creates opportunities for growth, generates jobs, and fa- cilitates trade and realises economies of scale. It enhances UK competitiveness by improving con- nectivity across local, regional and national areas. Mobility is central to the whole of society. It allows people to connect with places, and shapes how we live our lives. Social changes in the last twenty years have greatly altered how and why we use the transport system; shifts over the next twenty years will likely be even more significant. Changes such as the growing, ageing population will meet technological advances in electric power, digitalisation and automation. These technologies will bring opportunities, offering fresh innovation to existing needs, as well as radical new approaches. They will also bring challenges, however. Realising the full potential of technology requires us to consider how users’ travel behaviour will respond to it, and how all of society and our economy can benefit. To be truly transformational, we need to view transport as a system: to consider it as a whole. The future of transport needs to balance a wide range of considerations. Capacity has a role to play, but it must be linked to making travel more sustainable overall, be this through lower emissions, less travel or better linking our journeys to housing and work. A focus on people is central to the future of mobility. Understanding how citizens and businesses make decisions and interact with technology provides an opportunity to place the user at the heart of an integrated system.

    Auto & Motorcycle Titles Spring 2020 {IPG} The Brown Bullet Rajo Jack's Drive to Integrate Auto Racing Bill Poehler Summary The powers-that-be in auto racing in the 1920s, namely the American Automobile Association’s Contest Board, prohibited everyone who wasn’t a white male from the sport.

In The Brown Bullet, Bill Poehler uncovers the life of a long-forgotten trailblazer and the great lengths he took to even get on the track, and in the end, tells how Rajo Jack proved to a generation that a black man could compete with some of the greatest white drivers of his era, wining some of the biggest races of the day.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.
