This is intended to be more manageable for readers; we now exclude much of the detail on historic developments at each vehicle company, information which can be found in previous editions of the report available on the SMMT website. www.smmt.co.uk. In addition, the model level information for vehicle production outside the UK is excluded from the current versions, although this data is available from Ian Henry of AutoAnalysis. Our focus is increasingly on developments in the UK, to make the report more relevant for UK suppliers; many of these companies should see major new business opportunities with increased sourcing at the tier 1 level in the UK especially, as well potential business too for smaller suppliers at the tier 2 and 3 level.

  • 2015 Geneva Motorshow Press
    Press Kit 2015 Geneva Motor Show March 3, 2015 The Renault KADJAR, The crossover with the power to seduce The Renault Kadjar was revealed on February 2, but the wraps come off the new model completely at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The Swiss show provides the first detailed presentation of the Kadjar’s interior and introduces the specific X-Mod and Bose ® versions of the model. The Kadjar stands out, too, as a particularly fuel-efficient crossover with the availability of two diesel versions with CO2 emissions amongst the segment’s very lowest, at 99g/km* . This compact crossover shakes up established thinking with a new, innovative approach to the segment, plus attractive styling. The Kadjar sees Renault extend its crossover line-up with a C-segment model that slots between Captur and Koleos in the range. In this fast-expanding market, the Kadjar is poised to help Renault to meet its ambitious international growth targets. In 2016, it will also become the first Renault to be made in China which was the world’s leading automobile market. In 2014, total sales exceeded 22 million vehicles, 26 percent of which were crossovers. Built on the shared Renault-Nissan CMF C/D platform, the Kadjar benefits from the Alliance’s expertise in the realm of crossovers. The Kadjar’s flowing, athletic lines mark a fresh take on crossover styling, while its sporty, refined interior is set off perfectly by the use of high quality materials and an equally high quality finish. Packed with quality, modern equipment, the Kadjar ensures advanced connectivity with R-Link 2 and peace of mind thanks to the latest driving aids.

Duwaisan said the decision is expected to be misused by women against innocent expatriates or by security officials and service- men who could use it to threaten foreigners or settle personal grudges against them. Head of the Criminal Investigation Department Brig Gen Mahmoud Al-Tabbakh said a few days ago that the Interior Ministry will immediately deport expatriate males who are caught harassing women without send- ing them to court. Thousands of expatriate drivers were deported last year without trial for allegedly commit- ting serious traffic offenses including running the red light, ferrying passengers and others. The measure has been tempered after criticism by international human rights bodies. Tabbakh did not set any rules or conditions for con- victing an expatriate of harassment, apparently leaving the judgement to security men. Duwaisan however considered the measure as a “punishment stick” that could be falsely used against innocent expatriates by women and the security agencies as well, who do not need to provide any evidence.
