2006 Aston Martin - A Guide.pdf
Taken from Aston MArtin The Present: The 21st Century has seen an astonishing change of pace at Aston Martin. With production during the final four years of the previous century running between 620 and 660 models a year, the year 2000 saw a huge jump to 1,029 units, 1,000 of which were the newly developed V12 powered DB7 Vantage.
Production rose by almost 50 per cent in 2001 to 1,506 cars. Again the lion’s share was of DB7 variants, but 204 Vanquish models helped make up the total. In 2003, Aston Martin created a sales record of nearly 1,600 cars and another record was created in the US with 500 cars sold representing 33% of production volume. Records were surpassed again in 2004.
Vanquish production also continues at Newport Pagnell, but now in the form of the fastest ever production Aston Martin – the Vanquish S, capable of over 200mph and offering the ultimate high performance Aston Martin. The Vanquish S has been designed to deliver even greater performance, complemented by subtle suspension and steering changes and a number of interior and external style revisions.
Newport Pagnell is also home to the Works Service department for development of customer-driven specialist projects and accident repair, as well as Heritage Operations, which restores older Aston Martin models.
The company’s new state of the art Gaydon facility begins a new chapter in Aston Martin’s history. As the new company headquarters, Gaydon will house production of the DB9 and V8 Vantage as well as all future Aston Martin models.
In 2005, Aston Martin returned to international motor sport with the DBR9 based on the road going DB9.
Tachomaster: Drivers Guide to the Digital Tachograph.pdf
Taken from The Digital Tachograph Vehicle Unit: The Digital Tachograph Vehicle Unit (VU) is an electronic device that is able to record and store driver and vehicle records. The VU must have the ability to store this data for at least 365 days and must make it possible to download that data. Operators based in Great Britain are obliged to download the data at least every 56 days, and then store it safely and make it available for inspection by the authorities for the next twelve months.
Data recorded by the VU include vehicle speed, distance traveled and other system related parameters. General vehicle speed data is limited to 24 driving hours and is recorded only in the memory of the Digital Tachograph Vehicle Unit. It is NOT written in the Driver Card. Details of excessive speeds (overspeeds) are recorded however, and analysis of the data can show these events and other useful information such as ‘harsh braking’.
