Relentlessly delivering powertrain excellence, Chrysler LLC has earned Ward’s "10 Best" award six times in the last seven years with the iconic 5.7-liter HEMI engine. "The HEMI earns the honor not on pure emotion or brute force but with advanced new technology such as variable valve timing, which allows cruising in four-cylinder mode about 40 percent of the time, which is twice as much as the previous-generation Multi-Displacement System cylinder-deactivation system," said Tom Murphy – Executive Director of Ward’s AutoWorld magazine. "A number of Ward’s testers managed to top 19 mpg (12.3 L/100 km) with the HEMI, putting it in line with certain premium V-6s tested." With improved Multi-Displacement System (MDS) technology for increased fuel efficiency, added refinement and more power, the all-new 2009 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine delivers world-class performance and technology in nine Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles.

  • Internationalisation of Companies and Local Upgrading of Peripheries the Example of VW Navarre in the European Automobile Production System
    Internationalisation of companies and local upgrading of peripheries The Example of VW Navarre in the European automobile production system Martina Fuchs, University of Cologne Department of Economic and Social Geography Albertus-Magnus-Platz 50923 Cologne Tel: +49-221-470-7729 [email protected] Paper presented at the 45th Congress of the European Regional Science Association in Amsterdam, 23-27 August 2005 Draft – Please do not quote Abstract The presentation shows that there is a close interdependence between the international division of production inside of a transnational company and the opportunities for local upgrading in a foreign plant. The paper discusses the example of VW Navarre. It argues that the international division of products inside of Volkswagen is important for the prospects of the plant in Navarre. Thus, the paper discusses product upgrading in the context of internationalisation as being important for the perspective of a plant: it is a central issue for the future of a location which type of car, or which different types of cars, are produced. With regard to regions which are dependent on a specific international investor, as Pamplona in Navarre is, the topic of product upgrading is central to regional development, too. Having been the driving force of regional economic development for a long time, now we have to consider growth problems at Volkswagen Navarre. A reason for this is the specialization on the low volume model Polo. While in the 1980s and 1990s the production of low volume cars was a common strategy of Volkswagen and other automobile industries, as Opel and Ford, in Spain, the situation has changed now.
