    VEHICLE SAFETY RATINGS ESTIMATED FROM POLICE REPORTED CRASH DATA: 2006 UPDATE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND CRASHES DURING 1987-2004 by Stuart Newstead Linda Watson & Max Cameron Report No. 248 June 2006 Project Sponsored By ii MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGE Report No. Report Date ISBN Pages 248 June 2006 0 7326 2318 9 90 + Appendices Title and sub-title: VEHICLE SAFETY RATINGS ESTIMATED FROM POLICE REPORTED CRASH DATA: 2006 UPDATE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND CRASHES DURING 1987-2004 Author(s) Type of Report & Period Covered Newstead, S.V., Cameron, M.H. and Watson, L.M. Summary Report, 1982-2004 Sponsoring Organisations - This project was funded as contract research by the following organisations: Road Traffic Authority of NSW, Royal Automobile Club of Victoria Ltd, NRMA Ltd, VicRoads, Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia Ltd, Transport Accident Commission and Land Transport New Zealand, the Road Safety Council of Western Australia, the New Zealand Automobile Association and by a grant from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau Abstract: Crashworthiness ratings measure the relative safety of vehicles in preventing severe injury to their own drivers in crashes whilst aggressivity ratings measure the serious injury risk vehicles pose to drivers of other vehicles and unprotected road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. Updated crashworthiness ratings and aggressivity ratings for 1982- 2004 model vehicles were estimated based on data on crashes in Victoria and New South Wales during 1987-2004 and in Queensland, Western Australia and New Zealand during 1991-2004. Both crashworthiness and aggressivity were measured by a combination of injury severity (the risk of death or serious injury given an injury was sustained) and injury risk (the risk of injury given crash involvement).

  • Completed Acquisition of Two Vauxhall Dealerships from Riders' Garages Limited by Eden
    Completed acquisition of two Vauxhall dealerships from Riders’ Garages Limited by Eden (GM) Limited ME/6474-14 The CMA’s decision on reference under section 22(1) on 24 October 2014. Full text of the decision published on 17 November 2014. Please note that [] indicates figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. Summary 1. Eden (GM) Limited (Eden) operates Vauxhall franchised car dealerships. Its two Devon dealerships, Exeter and Honiton, supply new and used Vauxhall cars to private customers as well as repair and maintenance services to Vauxhall cars. 2. Eden acquired two Vauxhall dealerships in Newton Abbot and Torbay (the Riders dealerships) from Riders Garages Limited (Riders) (the Merger). The Riders dealerships supply new and used Vauxhall cars to private customers and repair and maintenance services to Vauxhall cars. Eden and the Riders dealerships together are referred to in this decision as the Parties. 3. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) considers that the Parties are enterprises that as a result of the Merger have ceased to be distinct and that the share of supply test is met. The CMA therefore believes that it is or may be the case that a relevant merger situation has been created. 4. Eden and the Riders dealerships overlap in the supply of new and used Vauxhall cars and the supply of repair and maintenance services for Vauxhall cars in the Exeter, Newton Abbot and Torbay areas. 5. In relation to the supply of new and used Vauxhall cars, the CMA does not consider there to be competition concerns based on the constraints faced by the Parties locally from dealerships of other car marques including other sellers of used cars (both Vauxhall and others).

    Automobile industry in India 30 Automobile industry in India The Indian Automobile industry is the seventh largest in the world with an annual production of over 2.6 million units in 2009.[1] In 2009, India emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of automobiles, behind Japan, South Korea and Thailand.[2] By 2050, the country is expected to top the world in car volumes with approximately 611 million vehicles on the nation's roads.[3] History Following economic liberalization in India in 1991, the Indian A concept vehicle by Tata Motors. automotive industry has demonstrated sustained growth as a result of increased competitiveness and relaxed restrictions. Several Indian automobile manufacturers such as Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra and Mahindra, expanded their domestic and international operations. India's robust economic growth led to the further expansion of its domestic automobile market which attracted significant India-specific investment by multinational automobile manufacturers.[4] In February 2009, monthly sales of passenger cars in India exceeded 100,000 units.[5] Embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s. Following the independence, in 1947, the Government of India and the private sector launched efforts to create an automotive component manufacturing industry to supply to the automobile industry. However, the growth was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s due to nationalisation and the license raj which hampered the Indian private sector. After 1970, the automotive industry started to grow, but the growth was mainly driven by tractors, commercial vehicles and scooters. Cars were still a major luxury. Japanese manufacturers entered the Indian market ultimately leading to the establishment of Maruti Udyog.
