  • Barriers – Our Flexibility Is Our Strength
    A‐SAFE (UK) LTD • Introduction • 3D Warehouse & Barrier Application • Barrier Suitability & Loading • Fixing bolt data • General maintenance • A‐Safe – A Green option Click on image to play video A-SAFE BARRIERS – OUR FLEXIBILITY IS OUR STRENGTH A-Safe is the most innovative safety barrier system on the market. So innovative in fact, that it effectively makes conventional steel barriers obsolete by offering significant benefits in safety, cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. WHY IS A-SAFE SO DIFFERENT? A-Safe products are Polymer-based, so they are far more flexible and durable than conventional steel barriers. Hit them with a vehicle and they will spring back into shape, rather than bending or buckling, thus cutting maintenance costs by greatly reducing the need for damage repairs. A simple concept and one that is already used in many other applications. For instance, the motor industry started fitting plastic bumpers to their vehicles years ago. A-Safe decided to use the same principle for their products, with outstanding results. SAFETY FIRST Although they are flexible, A-Safe barriers are extremely strong, effectively protecting your workforce, machinery, buildings and vehicles. All products are designed to meet the most stringent Health & Safety guidelines and are load tested to British Standards. COLOURING YOUR VIEWS A-Safe barriers feature a yellow and black colour scheme as standard, which enables both pedestrians and drivers to see at a glance where they should be and where they shouldn’t be. These colours are solid and highly resistant to scratching too, so no repainting is required. CUTTING YOUR COSTS Not only does A-Safe improve safety standards, it can also provide significant cost savings.

  • Combination of Brexit and Ceta - Moving Vehicle Platforms from 1
    COMBINATION OF BREXIT AND CETA - MOVING VEHICLE PLATFORMS FROM 1 UK TO CANADA Combination of Brexit and CETA - Study on the Possibility of Motor Corporations Moving Vehicle Platforms from UK to Canada Junxi YU Engineering and Public Policy, McMaster University COMBINATION OF BREXIT AND CETA - MOVING VEHICLE PLATFORMS FROM 2 UK TO CANADA Abstract With the help from Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) signed in 2016, enormous opportunities and benefits have been created for the automotive industry in Canada. Specifically, European Union(EU) tariffs immediately eliminated on all Canadian auto parts that exported to EU. In the European market, UK has been a competitor to Canada in the automotive industry. After Brexit, without the benefits of free trade within EU, vehicles manufactured in the UK will start to lose their appeal in price gradually. In the thesis, a comparison on the current situation of five motor corporations in Canada and the corresponding motor corporations in the UK was made. It was found that only Honda Canada and Honda UK have an identical vehicle platform referred as Honda Civic platform, which produces same vehicle models, namely Honda Civic Type R and Honda CRV. On the contrast, the other four auto corporations don’t possess a same vehicle platform, producing same vehicle models in Canada and UK. A thorough analysis on Honda Motor Company was conducted. The total costs including vehicle price, shipping costs, tariff and currency exchange rate for EU consumers to purchase a car from the same platform in Canada and UK was calculated separately. By comparing the total costs of the two purchasing routes, the conclusion and recommendations was provided.
