  • Husqvarna Enduro Team by CH Racing Team-Presentation 2012
    Husqvarna Enduro Team by CH Racing Team-Presentation 2012 Content Husqvarna: the story of enduro Husqvarna Enduro Team by CH Racing The Team Riders o Matti Seistola o Lorenzo Santolino Sanchez o Ricky Dietrich o Juha Salminen o Alex Salvini o Romain Dumontier o Andreas Lettenbichler Races 2012 The bikes o Husqvarna TE250 Factory o Husqvarna TE310 Factory The Sponsors Husqvarna: the story of enduro Husqvarna is a synonym for enduro. Before the term enduro was coined every country had its own name for the sport. The first European title in "regolarità", as it was called in Italy, was taken by Husqvarna in 1982 with Italian Gualtiero Brissoni in the saddle. After several European titles were taken by iconic names such as Thomas Gustavsson and Sven Erik Jonsson, in 1990 the sport was given the title World Enduro Championship by the FIM and Otakar Kotrba won the honour for Husqvarna, the first in a long series. To date Husqvarna has taken 49 world enduro titles and a total of 82 in motocross, enduro and supermotard events in the company's 100+ year history. Enduro is endurance, in all conditions with special tests over different types of terrain. Both rider and bike must reach the finish line after many hours of off-road trails without any external assistance apart from the brief time controls. It is the experience gained from these victories that has produced the Husqvarna enduro series, which year by year incorporate the technical advances made on the tracks. In 2012 Husqvarna will officially compete in the Enduro World Championship, represented by Team CH Racing, and will also be present at major national events in Spain, France, Germany, UK, Italy, the U.S., Australia and Japan.

  • David Knight Press Release Erzberg
    PRESS RELEASE David Knight Press Release Red Bull KTM Off Road Race Team Knighter opts not to compete at Erzberg ‘08 Red Bull KTM Off Road Team rider and current leader of the ’08 US Grand National Cross Country series David Knight has made the difficult decision not to compete in the ’08 edition of the world famous Erzberg Rodeo, staged in Eisenerz, Austria. Following discussions with the Red Bull KTM Off Road Team after the sixth round of the US GNCC series it was decided that due to increased testing commitments it would be best for Knight not to compete in the word’s toughest one-day extreme race. Although more than 40 pints ahead of his nearest XC1 Pro class rival in the ’08 US GNCC series Knight is focused on claiming the best results he can in the three events that remain before the championships two-month summer break. Heading to Austria on Monday, May 19 for several days of testing Knight would have next to no time to prepare himself for the Erzberg event. David Knight: “My goal this season is to successfully defend my US Grand National Cross Country title, which is why I have decided not to compete at Erzberg this year. Things are going extremely well for me in the States at the moment and I have a 41‐point lead in the XC1 Pro class championship, which is largely due to having spent many, many hours practicing, training, testing and racing on my 450 XC‐W. The down side of all this time spent riding my 450 is that I have had no time to prepare for Erzberg, where I planned on riding a 250cc two‐stroke.

  • Transitioning Beyond Coal: Lessons from the Structural Renewal of Europe’S Old Industrial Regions
    Crawford School of Public Policy Centre for Climate Economics and Policy ___________________________________________________________________________ Transitioning beyond coal: Lessons from the structural renewal of Europe’s old industrial regions CCEP Working Paper 1709 November 2017 Stephanie Campbell Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute, University of Melbourne [email protected] Professor Lars Coenen Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute, University of Melbourne [email protected] Abstract It is often assumed that a transition to a low-carbon future will have highly disruptive and potentially devastating effects on coal regions and their communities. However, evidence from the experience of industrial decline and attempted renewal in Europe’s old industrial regions demonstrates that successful regional transition is—while not inevitable—indeed possible. Fundamental transformation of existing industrial, institutional, social and technological structures is not an easy nor straightforward process but fraught with the challenges of creative destruction: while new industrial activities and structures emerge, existing ones are broken down. Drawing on the literature of regional resilience and innovation, the paper offers lessons, insights and cautionary warnings from the experience of renewal initiatives in Europe’s old industrial regions and illustrates the ways in which some of the seeds for a ‘just’ regional transitions to zero-carbon economies may, in fact, lie in a careful understanding of the potential to build on the specific historical context of the regions industrial development and capabilities. | THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY Key words: coal transition, old industrial regions, regional development, regional innovation JEL codes: O38 and R11 Suggested citation: Campbell, S., Coenen, L.

  • Post-Mining Regions in Central Europe
    Umschlag_Wirth_Mining_165x235_4c_Layout 1 10.05.12 12:06 Seite 1 This volume is about post-mining regions in Central Europe, where people have taken up Peter Wirth, Barbara erni Mali, the challenge of overcoming the crisis provoked by the cessation of mining. Although the Wolfgang Fischer (Editors)Č č situation in these regions is mostly difficult, the book is not about decline and desperation. It is about concepts and strategies for shaping new perspectives at the beginning of the 21st century. It is about people who envisage new leisure attractions where excavators left a lunar landscape a few years ago, who create new technology centres on the sites of aban- doned processing plants, and who plan to extract clean energy from mine-water flowing Post-Mining Regions hundreds of meters under the surface; people intent on exploiting so-called »post-mining potentials« – the central topic of this volume. Mali, (Editors) Fischer W. After more than three years of common research, a group of scientists from Austria, the č in Central Europe Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Slovenia present an overview of the current erni Č situation and development perspectives in seven post-mining regions of Central Europe. They show that sustainable post-mining development is a highly relevant subject in our times. Problems, Potentials, Possibilities Despite the innumerable problems, a positive conclusion can be drawn: change is possible, and cooperation across the borders of European countries can contribute to its success.
