Toyota to launch new cars with bolder , stronger & more venturesome designs
Toyota to launch new cars with bolder , stronger & more venturesome designs
After decades of emphasizing staid reliability, Toyota wants to start running with the cool kids.
In a new approach announced Monday, the company, Japan's biggest automaker, said it was overhauling its development system to give engineers more freedom to experiment with bolder, more daring designs.
"We want to take more risks," Akio Toyoda, the automaker's chief executive and grandson of the company's founder, told reporters Monday at the main design lab at headquarters here in Toyota City, 200 miles southwest of Tokyo.
The company will give more power to its engineers, Toyoda said, and streamline design decisions, partly by reducing the number of executives involved in reviewing new designs. Previously, design changes could be reviewed by as many as 100 executives.
But the engineers will be under pressure to cut costs by using standard parts across different models, Toyoda said at a briefing at the tightly guarded lab, where reporters' cellphones and cameras were confiscated.
Toyota will also cede more research and development for emerging-economy nations to locally based teams, allowing designers to craft models specifically to local tastes, he said.
In many ways, Toyota is eager to reinvent itself after three disastrous years marred by problems of its own making as well as those beyond its control. A collapse in trade during the global economic crisis contributed to Toyota's biggest-ever loss, while widespread product recalls in 2009 tarnished its once-stellar safety record.
More recently, last year's tsunami in Japan and flooding in Thailand crimped production for months. And a strong yen continues to weigh on the company's competitiveness and bottom line.
But the 75-year-old company is also trying to refresh an even deeper-rooted issue: a design philosophy that has focused more on function, cost and efficiency than form.
Take the Camry, the sensible grocery-getter. Despite its status as the best-selling car in North America, its design has long been the butt of jokes.

Toyota to debut 2013 Avalon Concept at the 2012 New York International Auto Show
Toyota has announced today that it will be bringing an all new U.S. designed sedan to show off at the 2012 New York Auto Show.
The details are sparse on what the new car will be, with Toyota saying, “the sedan’s exciting new design features an elegant yet athletic look.” The new car could possibly be an all new 2013 Avalon , although we can’t be sure.
Designed in the U.S. (presumably at the brand’s Calty design center in California), it features some massive wheels, aggressive exhaust tops and even a rear-end that’s inspired by the new Scion FR-S sports car.
Toyota designers who worked on the car will be hosting a live video chat at 2pm on the day of the reveal &it will be answering the public’s questions regarding the new mystery car.

BMW recalls 1.3 million 5-series and 6-series vehicles worldwide recalled from model year 2003-2010
BMW recalls 1.3 million 5-series and 6-series vehicles worldwide recalled from model year 2003-2010
BMW AG is recalling 1.3 million 5- and 6-series cars from the 2003 to 2010 model years.
The company says that in rare cases a battery cable covering in the trunk was incorrectly installed.
The defect could prevent the car from starting and in extreme cases could lead to a fire. BMW says it knows of no accidents or injuries from the defect.
The recalls will be undertaken by dealers and are expected to take between half an hour and an hour. There will be no charge.
The numbers for the recall are pretty vast, though; 109,000 vehicles in the UK, 102,000 in China, 283,000 in Germany and 368,000 in the US.
BMW has also recently announced a rash of recalls of the German automaker's BMW, Mini, and Rolls-Royce divisions over water pump problems.

Michelin Tyres India targets 25 % growth by 2015
Michelin Tyres India targets 25 % growth by 2015
Michelin Tyres India is targeting ambitious double-digit growth of 25 percent in India by 2015 on the back of a robust distribution network for passenger car radials & two-wheeler tyres as well as manufacturing base for trucks and buses.
Michelin Tyres India had last year announced an investment of Rs 4,000 crore in a manufacturing facility at Chennai for producing truck and bus radials and had also signed an MoU with the Tamil Nadu government for the same. The investment would fan out over seven years and would be spread across 290 acres.
Thom Clark, managing director of Michelin India, said that the plant is on track with construction underway. Production was expected to roll off by end-2012 but with Michelin going slow on its expansion projects in emerging markets, as a result of the slowdown in the automotive industry globally, production is now expected to kick off sometime next year.
Clark projected that the demand for radial tyres for the commercial vehicle market is slated to rise from the current 15 percent to 50 percent by 2021 and Michelin is optimistic of piggyback riding on this growth with its new tubeless technology for tyres for the CV segment. In the passenger car segment, Clark foresees growth of radials in the 12 to 15-inch seat segment which cover a large number of cars ranging from the Maruti Alto to the Honda City. Michelin spends about Euro 500 million in R&D every year for its North American, Asian & European markets that includes innovating new tyre technologies.
Michelin Tyres India has also launched the new Michelin Energy XM2 tyre for passenger cars in India. The Energy XM2 is a new design which aims to improve fuel savings, mileage & safety. Compared to the previous-generation Energy tyre, the Energy XM2 uses less fuel thanks to an 8 percent reduction in rolling resistance, lasts up to 15 percent longer and stops 1.7m shorter.
The tyre incorporates Ironflex technology combining strength and flexibility. Coupled with an optimised casing design, the new tyre is better able to absorb and effectively dissipate peak stresses generated when it comes into contact with any type of road hazard. The new formulation of micro resilient tread compound provides a firm grip with the road surface which helps to reduce the braking distance and thus contributes to reducing accidents and improving safety. This tread compound also lasts longer giving more mileage potential.
The tyremaker says that the latest Michelin technologies from its global R&D activities have been designed into the new Energy XM2, from Alternating Bridging, Micro Adaptive Compound and Silica technology, to give the best performance for fuel saving, longevity and safety. The new tyre will be available in sizes ranging from 12 to 15 inches at prices ranging from Rs 2,475 up to Rs 6,075.

HONDA IS PLANING A COMPACT DIESEL ENGINES HUB IN INDIA
HONDA IS PLANING A COMPACT DIESEL ENGINES HUB IN INDIA
Honda Motors has almost finalized its plans of bringing its diesel motors to India. One of the major highlights of this plan is that India will become a global hub for Honda compact diesel engines.
Back at Honda's R&D centre in Tochigi, the Japan manufacturer is working hard on the development of 1.4 and 1.5 litres engines. "Honda R&D is currently developing a small diesel engine. However, we do not have anything specific to share right now," Jnaneswar Sen, senior VP, sales & marketing, told ET recently. Sources close to the Japan manufacturer’s plan are saying that initially, only 1,00,000 diesel cars, including exports, will be manufactured before a larger capacity facility might be set up.
The Honda had recently unveiled a 1.6 litre diesel engine at the Tokyo Motor Show. We reported that this motor will find a home under the hood of the Civic in the European markets. Honda also boasts if a bigger, 2.2 litre oil burner that can be found powering the Accord and CR-V in Europe. "While it is technically possible to downgrade both these engines, the low volumes of the Accord and CR-V (in India) do not justify it. Also the engines for the European market have been developed taking into account the low sulphur content in the diesel there, unlike in India," says Sen.
It may be noted that a lack of diesel’s option is costing the manufacturer quite some sales in the country. This Japan car maker, which came to us some 15 years back, was recently overtaken by Volkswagen, a relatively new entrant. And it takes no genius to guess that the diesel’s motor are working wonders for the German car manufacturer.
