The General Motors Solution to Meeting the 2007 Diesel Emissions Standards.pdf

November 18, 2009 · Filed Under General Motors · Comment  · Tags:

Taken from The 2007 Emissions Standards Challenge: All diesel engines produced starting January 1, 2007 must comply with the new regulations that require the reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC) by 50% and particulate matter (PM) by 90+% over the current 2004 emission standards. Further reductions of NOx, HC and PM will be required by 2010.
Emissions must be reduced in all types of operation, including stop-and-go situations. All diesel engine manufacturers will have to meet these stringent emissions standards, resulting in additional hardware, software and ultimately, higher costs.

Tachomaster: Drivers Guide to the Digital Tachograph.pdf

November 17, 2009 · Filed Under Auto Parts & 3rd Parties · Comment  · Tags: , ,

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’.

The Impact of Brand Personality on Brand-Aroused Feelings.pdf

Brand managers are increasingly using brand personality to differentiate and uniquely position their brand without really knowing its effects. This study begins to addresses this gap by examining the effects of brand personality on brand-aroused feelings across the product categories of sport shoes, mobile phones and surf wear. Using SEM to analyse the data from 324 usable surveys, the findings indicate that consumers perceive brand personality and brand-aroused feelings as two separate constructs and that brand personality has a substantial effect on brand-aroused feelings. On the basis of the findings, this study recommends that brand managers consider positioning their brand as original, imaginative, considerate and kind if they want to arouse positive brand feelings.
