In the exhibition area of Toyota Motor Corporation, a travelling 2012 paragraph Prius (Gallery Forum) plug-electric hybrid vehicles and charging station connected, aroused the interest of many people. The car is equipped with high-capacity lithium-ion battery that can charge of ordinary household outlet. According to Toyota Canada Inc.

GM's Chevrolet brand has a hybrid pickup. GM Canada company chief engineer Matt ・ Klaus, said that although the new Chevrolet VOLT pure electric cars, but this did not show up in the recent end of Vancouver Winter Olympics, the generic company as a sponsor-provided vehicles VOLT has been serving the Organizing Committee.

In addition, VW at the exhibition introduced the low emission of clean diesel locomotive Golf TDI. Volkswagen Canada corporate PR Manager Peter ・ waini said mass not long ago in the Geneva International Motor Show on the rollout of hybrid version turui (Gallery Forum) SUV driving very strong, although not in Vancouver and the public again, but this fall will be available for sale in North America.

"I hope that the case put on this, rather than temporarily come to a paragraph. ”

United States time, 1 April, the Federal Court in Washington, d.c., Daimler North America company PR hanjian construction (HanTjan) hurried out of 18, the Court, in response to a reporter on the Daimler corporate bribery event has made the question, answer above.

United States Government charges against Daimler company overseas bribery case, Daimler agreed to pay fines of $ 1.85 million to the United States Government, became a no suspense of reconciliation. Two United States Justice Department overseas bribery investigation counsel against a Daimler company consultants plus three lawyers throughout the war, only lasted 50 minutes. The parties did not argue that the judge had announced the results of the case, the journalists took a Daimler company paid PR is issued on the spot.

Daimler's current total of 4 companies are sued, respectively Daimler Germany Corporation and including Daimler China company, the other three branches. United States Government sued on the grounds that, Daimler company from 1998 to 2008 to between China's 22 national government officials, bribery, which in exchange for tens of millions of dollars worth of millions of dollars in contracts.

And reconciliation as a result, Daimler's Germany export and Trade Finance Branch and Russia branch quickly plead guilty, the Daimler group and Daimler China companies won forgiveness, postponed for two years before: If the two companies two years no longer violating the foreign corrupt practices Act, the Government will revoke their judicial proceedings.

This avoids determining results, with United States law experts pointed out that it reflects Western business interests prevail justice above the embarrassing situation, commercial interests, is the challenge of justice.

China branch "protected"

The United States Department of Justice on the Daimler China company sued grounds, and the other two Daimler subsidiary reasons there is no different, are violating the foreign corrupt practices Act provisions against bribery in. But Daimler export and Trade Finance Branch and Russia branch recognizes that bribery offences were sentenced to 2910 m and a fine of $ 2730, and ultimate success of Chinese branch has had pleaded guilty and to avoid paying a fine.

The reason, Lihua, said: Daimler and the Ministry of Justice consultation, the result is that companies do not have to be accused of bribery, therefore decided to postpone the trial of two years. In other words, if Daimler Chinese companies in the next two years without violating the foreign corrupt practices Act, the parties agree that the case, the accused will be revoked.

Although in the next two years, Daimler China companies must adhere to the self audit of the implementation of the law, and to report regularly to the trial court, but that price compared to the other two subsidiaries of the same offence, is a world of difference.

The importance of the Chinese Auto market, perhaps the Daimler is committed to protecting the root cause of the Chinese company. Daimler is the world's major automotive companies, but the profit decline in recent years, China is the world's small car sales growth of powers, it is expected that the 2010 Daimler China business will increase at least 15%.

Daimler Reynolds and negotiations had entered its final phase, this collaboration will involve small cross-shareholdings, sources said Daimler next month will buy Renault approximately 3% of the shares, but the final programme is expected to announce having a tough time. This heralded Reynolds and Union Nissan may increase the third partner.

Prior to this, there are reports that Daimler and Renault respectively hold each other "token" for minority interest, cross-shareholding will not exceed 3%, just above the shareholding situation must expose a threshold. Bilateral cooperation will involve sharing small sedan platform, joint development of light trucks and electric vehicles general parts, etc. Due to the small scale of production and the cost is too high, Daimler in small car business profitability has been poor, which makes their hopes for external cooperation to reduce the production costs of research and development of small cars.

In fact, in the small car market, cost savings, Daimler company blurred since 2007 and since the separation of Chrysler's "non-aligned" attitude, Daimler is ready to hand once again, the conclusion of cooperation Alliance, said Daimler and Reynolds talks maturing, or to raise funds for the purchase of 3% of Renault shares.

In sold off India company Tata 5% stake in a few days later, Daimler company President Choi-Chul has changed the policy, plan, before the purchase commitment to small cars make the Renault 5% stake in the company. Sources said Daimler will buy Renault approximately 3% of the shares, and will be replaced with Treasury shares in cash.

Daimler's aim is to create a new smart car, 4 May and Renault Twingo shared platform, even with Renault in Slovenia Novo mesto's production bases in production. In addition, Daimler also from its France cooperation Enterprise purchasing parts, such as the Renault 4 cylinder engine such large parts.

However, many commentators considered that, in fact, the two car manufacturers "and do not want marriage", but in view of the strategic partnership for progress, through symbolic stock to support this relationship more logical. An automotive industry analysts also warned against excessive superstitious Association in terms of cost savings, because the effectiveness of cooperation generally depend on the age and level of cooperation. The "3% of the shares, at this level, no one is obliged to do things seriously. ”
