Ach ja, die Schreibfaulheit… .

Wie auch immer: Bei der Arbeit tauchte ein offenbar von einem Auto entferntes Logo auf – von Skoda. Nun entnehme ich der Wikipedia, dass das Skoda-Logo einen geflügelten Pfeil darstellen soll. Mag ja sein, solange es das Logo als Grafik gibt, aber in der Realität erinnert mich das Logo nicht an einen Pfeil, eher an einen Phallus. Der geflügelte Phallus, dass ich nicht lache… .

So, das Niveau liegt weinend unterm Bett, dann hab ich mein Tagwerk ja getan und kann mich in selbiges legen. Gute Nacht, Internet.

Skoda has commenced production of a new four-cylinder engine which will be shared between itself, Audi, Volkswagen and Seat.

The all-new 1.2-litre design is a supercharged, direct fuel injection unit capable of producing 77kW and will carry the TSI (Turbo Stratified Injection) family name.

Skoda BOD chairman, Reinhard Jung, said the engine was designed specifically to minimise CO2 emissions and fuel consumption.

“This brand new TSI engine provides a unique opportunity of combining environmental friendliness with a well-balanced driving performance.

“With substantially lower CO2 figures, this new engine needs to be seen as a contribution to a significant reduction of average emission volumes in our cars,” he said.

The new engine has forced the expansion of Skoda’s manufacturing plant in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic, which yesterday celebrated 110 years of constant engine production.

Skoda’s head of engine manufacturing, Milan Stanek, was delighted with the decision to produce the new TSI at Mladá Boleslav, a site that made more than 270,000 engines and half a million transmissions last year.

“This new unit is going to be one of the most important engines for the company, and we are indeed pleased that it is our plant that is going to manufacture it.”

November 18 marked the 110th anniversary of the first official ride on a Laurin & Klement motorbike produced at Mladá Boleslav in 1899.

Skoda Works acquired the engine plant in 1925 which later went on to become the Skoda Auto we know today.

Alberto Hevia afronta la última prueba del Campeonato de España de Rallyes, el Shalymar, con la ilusión y las fuerzas del primer día para conseguir una difícil victoria que cerraría un final de temporada sensacional.

La prueba madrileña será la quinta y última participación de Hevia esta temporada en el Nacional de Asfalto. El asturiano ha conseguido dos victorias, un segundo puesto y un tercero. Hevia sabe que en la última prueba del año, los GT tienen todas las papeletas para adjudicarse el rallye. Los tramos del Jarama no son los más adecuados para el Skoda Fabia Super 2000.

 “El Shalymar no es muy buen rallye para nosotros, ya que el desarrollo de dos de los tramos cronometrados en el Circuito del Jarama favorece mucho más a los potentes GT, que nos toman una gran ventaja en el circuito, muy difícil de recuperar en el resto de los tramos. Aún así, intentaremos ganar la carrera para acabar la temporada con un buen sabor de boca. Esta última prueba es importante para nosotros, ya que con las buenas actuaciones que hemos tenido hasta ahora nos gustaría demostrar que somos competitivos en todos los terrenos y devolver de esta manera a Škoda España y a todos nuestros patrocinadores, la confianza que han depositado en nosotros”. Manifestó Berti.

Hevia no pierde la esperanza y derrochara todo sus fuerzas para lograr un buen resultado en el Rallye Shalymar, cerrando de forma extraordinario la temporada: “Los resultados conseguidos este año nos hacen afrontar la próxima temporada con todas las garantías. Hemos visto que somos competitivos en terrenos muy diferentes y que podemos aspirar a la victoria en cualquier rallye”.

IRC-sarjan viimeisen ja toiseksi viimeisen osakilpailun välillä oli kahden kuukauden tauko, joka ei sarjan intensiteetin kannalta ei ollut paras ratkaisu. Vielä kun britti Kris Meeke meni ja varmisti mestaruuden jo San Remossa, niin kiinnostus Skotlannin osakilpailua kohtaan oli vaarassa. Merkit saarivaltiosta kuitenkin osoittavat, että pientä rallikuumetta pukkaisi ja viikonlopun ralli käydään mielenkiintoisissa merkeissä.

Kris Meeke on jälleen vahvin voittajasuosikki. Jännä nähdä myös miten Guy Wilks tuo ensi kertaa Fabia S2000:sta. Muuten IRC-sarjan perusnaamoja on mukana vähemmän, sillä esimerkiksi Skoda-tiimin Kopecky/Hänninen tyytyvät vain nuotittamaan rallin.

13 erikoiskokeen ralli alkaa torstai-iltana yleisöerikoiskokeella ja päättyy lauantaina.

O chefe de vendas da Volkswagen AG, Detlef Wittig, alertou aos investidores para que não interpretem os bons resultados da marca em outubro como um sinal de recuperação da indústria.

“As vendas globais de automóveis de passeio ainda não se reestabeleceram completamente, o que nos faz prever que 2010 será um ano muito difícil e desafiador”, afirmou em um comunicado divulgado nesta sexta-feira, 13 de novembro.

No último mês, a VW registraram um crescimento de 11,1%, com 557.300 veículos comercializados entre suas oito marcas. O resultado fez com que as vendas acumuladas da empresa subissem pela primeira vez em 2009.

Entre as marcas, a Volkswagen computou um aumento de 17% nas vendas, especialmente pela alta demanda em países como China, Brasil e Alemanha. A checa Skoda também se destacou, com um aumento de 33% em suas vendas, totalizando 65.600 unidades comercializadas em outubro. Até mesmo a Seat, que vinha apresentando sucessivos prejuízos, mostrou um aumento de 1,9%.

The new Octavia from Skoda was displayed at the motor show in Geneva in 2004 and as a station wagon in Paris in the same year. The model is based on the Golf V’s floor panel, power transmission systems and many other mechanical components. The new Octavia has become a rival for many vehicles in the medium car segment with its unique external dimension and utility values.

The new Octavia is available with a wide range of engines: the basic petrol 1.4-liter 75 hp and 1.6-liter 102 hp units, the modern 1.6 FSI 115 hp and 2.0 FSI 150 hp units with a direct fuel injection system and the renowned diesel 1.9 TDI 105 hp and 2.0 TDI 140 hp engines. This is the first Skoda which comes with a modern DSG 6-speed automatic transmission options. The station wagon with 2.0 FSI or 1.9 TDI engines is also available with Haldex four-wheel drive, used in the old Octavia and various VW models, combined with a manual 6-speed gearbox.

Michael E. Porter defines a Strategic Group as ‘the group of firms in an industry following the same or a similar strategy along the strategic dimensions.’  This essentially means that a Strategic Group, within an industry, is a group of firms that operate in a similar fashion in terms of their respective Specialization and Vertical Integration. If we take the example of the Passenger Car Industry, a group of firms are characterized by broad product lines, heavy advertising, medium integration, extensive distribution, mass-market appeal and widely-available service, lets call this Group A, while another group of companies would be characterized as extremely narrow product lines, minimal, often no advertising, high integration, selective distribution and service and superior performance, lets call this Group B. The firms that fall in Group A, internationally, are to the likes of Hyundai, Ford, Chevrolet, Volkswagen, Fiat, Toyota, Renault etc., while firms like Ferrari, Bugatti, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Maybach etc, belong to the latter group. Then there exists a group in between wherein performance meets mass-market appeal. This, Group C, would consist of firms like BMW, Audi, Daimler-Benz (Mercedes), Porsche, Alfa-Romeo, Nissan etc., which are a match between performance and luxury, and wide-appeal through narrow product lines. Another group of manufacturers, say Group D, such as Proton, Tata Motors, Maruti-Suzuki, Daihatsu, Mahindra & Mahindra, etc. exists which has most characteristics of the first group, barring an international appeal, meaning that manufacturers like these are broadly limited to their home countries and a few other countries, with product lines which are neither narrow nor broad, but have extensive distribution channels, at least in their home countries.  Firms in Group B are highly vertically integrated primarily because of the focus on quality in their products, which is essentially why most products from these firms are hand-built with in-house manufacturing of components unlike other groups where most, and in some cases, all components are purchased, ranging from the Chassis to the Design, and Automobiles are just assembled in the plants.

Interestingly, the Strategic Groups, as mentioned, also have a lot in common with market shares of these firms. While Group A firms tend to enjoy a high market share with their products with mass-market appeal internationally, Group B, on the other end of the spectrum, has firms with products of very limited appeal, primarily because of the exorbitant price tags. Group C firms have much smaller market shares than that of Group A, and have a middle-of-the-road appeal in terms of luxury and performance and price. Group D, on the other hand, consists of firms with large market shares in only a few markets, most commonly in the country they originate from. It is also interesting to understand the ownership patterns of firms across various Strategic Groups. Broadly, the largest Global players enjoy a presence, through one or more of their brands, in at least three of the four strategic groups. For example, Volkswagen Group has a presence in Group A with its Volkswagen brand, in Group B with Bugatti & Bentley, in Group C with Audi & Porsche, and in Group D with Skoda & SEAT. Similarly, Fiat Group has a presence in the three groups with Fiat in Group A, Ferrari in Group B and Alfa-Romeo in Group C. The benefits are primarily in the form of platform sharing and in effect, cost saving because of reduced Research & Development costs, Market Power and the sharing of critical components.

Industry Rivalry

Rivalry within a Strategic Group is likely to be more in industries where there is a great difference between product lines of firms, especially in terms of pricing. In the Automobile Industry, the rivalry among the firms within a Group is far greater than the inter-group rivalry, as opposed to an industry where the substitutes are very close and are available in plenty. The inter-group rivalry is at a far lower level internationally because of the scale and appeal of products of firms from different groups. On the customers’ part, there can be a shift from one group to another, especially when upgrading to a more expensive automobile, the firms effectively compete for customers in different market segments on their parts. For example, Ford does not compete with Ferrari, but it does, in some segments, with BMW, Audi & Mercedes. This is because Ford’s more expensive and less mass-market range of cars are in similar segments with BMW’s lesser expensive, more mass-market cars. So a Ford Focus would compete with a BMW 1-Series and not a BMW 7-Series as the target customers for both are poles apart. Similarly, firms from Group D can often compete with firms from Group A on a regional level, which is why we see Maruti-Suzuki competing with Ford, Fiat & Chevrolet because their target customers in the Indian market are broadly similar, but differ in the global context.

Bargaining Power of Suppliers

Different strategic groups enjoy different degreed of bargaining power of suppliers. In Strategic Groups where firms are primarily assemblers, the bargaining power of suppliers tends to be low primarily because of the scale of production of these firms. Often firms that operate in the mass-market enjoy market power because of their market share. This allows them to leverage their position to bargain with suppliers and have components customized for their use than that of other players. For example, Denso is a key supplier of Toyota to such an extent that Denso follows Toyota to whichever market Toyota enters. The bargaining power of Toyota over Denso is fairly high because of standardization of components and faster product development times across the industry because of which Toyota has the advantage of purchasing similar components from Bosch or Delphi. But because Denso is so dependent on Toyota for its revenues, it has to operate in a manner which suits Toyota, hence effectively lowering possibilities of serving another client. The existence of multiple-suppliers allows firms to pick and choose from a bouquet of firms and attain the lowest possible costs, keeping in mind the specification of the components in concern. In other strategic groups such as Group B, the bargaining power of suppliers is fairly high because of the focus on quality of the product. Most firms in Group B product most components of their cars and outsource only a few. The few components that they outsource come from specialist suppliers. The switching costs may not be very high, but the costs of customization of products to suit the manufacturer is very high because of the nature of the product.

Bargaining Power of Buyers

Bargaining power of buyers varies from group to group. Groups where mass-market players exist with minimal product differentiation have to deal with high bargaining power of buyers while groups with highly differentiated products enjoy low bargaining power of buyers. Strategic Group A, where firms are mass-market players with low product differentiation in most cases, have to deal with very high bargaining power of customers, primarily because of the availability of a plethora of options both from the same firm as well as from constituents of the Strategic Group. The bargaining power of buyers is slightly lower for Group C firms than that of Group A, because each Group C firm has a brand identity which is peculiar to that firm alone while others are close to achieving similar results, but are not widely known for the same. For example, BMWs are identified with their handling and performance, while Mercedes cars are identified as the more luxurious of the two. While customers pick between one of the brands, they have an agenda in mind while purchasing cars from this particular group. A customer who would like more performance than luxury is likely to go for one brand over the other, but at the same time, the customer also enjoys the presence of multiple players and can shift from one brand to another because the products are so close to each other in terms of specifications, features, luxury and performance. Firms in Group B enjoy low bargaining power of buyers, primarily because they have highly differentiated products with varied features and specifications. The products are normally either extremely high on luxury, or on performance. While all products in this strategic group are far more luxurious and better in performance than those in the other groups, they tend to have an inclination towards one side of the spectrum. While Rolls Royce cars are the epitome of luxury on wheels, Ferrari’s are the best performers of the lot, which is not to say Rolls Royce is archaic in terms of performance and Ferrari in luxury. The customers here have a clear-cut demand which can only normally be filled by one of the brands, which essentially goes to say that the bargaining power of buyers is low for Strategic Group B firms.

Threat of Substitutes

Substitutes to passenger cars are broadly based on the price points of the vehicles. While at the lower-end of the spectrum, substitutes are public transport and 2-wheelers, the higher-end of the spectrum only has air-travel as a substitute, which is only applicable for inter-city travel. Group A and Group D face the threat of substitutes such as 2-wheelers and public transport because of their price points. For example, the Tata Nano faces threat of substitutes by Motorbikes in India, especially for unmarried individuals, married without children and empty-nesters. The other threat to lower-end cars is Public Transport, primarily because of the limited spending capacity of the target customers of these products. Firms in Strategic Group B only face threat from substitutes such as Helicopters and Airplanes, the latter primarily for inter-city travel and the former for intra-city travel. The threat is low because of the scarcity of helipads in most parts of the world.

Threat of New Entrants

Threat of new entrants is low across the industry at a global level primarily because of the capital requirements for setting up of production facilities and distribution channels. The threat is low on a global level, but at a local level, threat in parts of the world is high. For example, in India, the threat of new entrants is at a medium level because of the absence of multiple global players. When these players decide to enter India, they can, and are willing to, spend Millions of dollars in setting up infrastructure to support their products. This is aided by a huge potential market for products of these firms, which are primarily members of Group A. Establishing of brands is also a very difficult task, especially for firms looking to enter Group B or Group C. Most firms in these groups have been present in the market for decades and have established their brands over years and years of existence and can hence charge a huge price tag for their offerings.

Inte så upplyftande väder nu faktiskt. Tycker personligen att hösten är lite mysig men det finns ju gränser. Men inget ont som inte har nåt gott med sig. Dåligt väder triggar shoppingssuget hos Värmlänningarna och det har vi verkligen märkt av. Oktober var en supermånad försäljningsmässigt så helt osvenskt och Jantebefriat presenterar jag våra försäljningssiffror. Hoppas någon av våra konkurenter läser och darrar Och till finanskrisen har jag bara en sak att säga; -Talk to the hand, cause the face aint listening!!!!

X-Pack

The clutch issue with the X-pack turned out to be a poorly adjusted clutch. I got underneath the car and fiddled with the clutch adjustment to see if that was what was causing it, and took it out for a spin confirming the clutch was working fine. We need to get a bracket or two to hold together the two parts of the gear linkage on the x-pack before the gearbox is working again. I was able to hold it together with some wire just to test it out on the road.

Skoda

Looks like the Skoda’s going to go to the great scrapyard in the sky. We removed the wings from it (barely had to use tools, just pulled them) and the rust on the inner wings and A-posts is pretty terminal looking. Niall’s stripped the car to a point where there’s not much left on it, and may be able to source a rapid in much better condition from the fella that sold him the estelle as a consolation because the estelle is so bad, which is nice.

Scirocco

The scirocco went in for its MOT with seven fails this week, so the weekend is going to be spent repairing that and then we’ll put it back through. A couple of brake pipe issues, bulb issues, and one of the rear shocks is gone. My friend is going to buy it from me once it goes through the MOT, but it’s had a couple of fueling issues recently too! So we’ll need to sort that out.

O IRC nem acabou e as equipes já estão se preparando para o ano que vem. É bem verdade que a última etapa do campeonato acontece ainda neste mês, entre os dias 19 e 21 de Novembro, mas pelo menos oito fabricantes estarão presente no evento.

O belo Opel Corsa S2000: em nada lembra o nosso fabricado por aqui

E quem volta nesta última etapa é o Opel Corsa OPC S2000 pilotado por alemão Tim Stebani, da equipe MSD. Vale a pena destacar que o carro faz parte do programa de desenvolvimento dos pneus da Hankook. Na prova de Lausitz, em outubro passado, foi a primeira do carro em pisos de terra e Stebani terminou em sexto da geral, demonstrando que o carro tem um grande potencial. A intenção é participar de todo o campeonato do ano que vem.

Além da Opel, quem vai estar presente também é a Ford com seu mais novo Fiesta S2000, da equipe M-Sport. A etapa também faz parte da preparação do carro para o ano que vem e eles ainda não definiram como vai ser a participação da equipe na etapa. O modelo totalmente pronto deverá estrear oficialmente no Rali de Monte Carlo, prova de abertura do calendário do IRC de 2010.

Novo Ford Fiesta S2000: ainda em fase de testes

Os outros fabricantes presentes são a Mitsubishi, com o Lancer Evo IX, a Peugeot com o 207  S2000, Fiat Abarth Grande Punto, Subaru com o Impreza WRX  e a Proton, com o Satria Neo S2000, além da Skoda com o Fabia.

Peugeot 207 (lider do campeonato) estará presente na última etapa

A Skoda anda escondendo o jogo e vai andar com o carro deste ano mesmo. Porém, a nova evolução do Skoda Fabia S2000 foi vista e fotografada em testes em Návarov, perto de Mladá Boleslav, na Rep. Checa, ‘casa’ da Skoda Motorsport. Pelas fotos dá para notar novas entradas de ar no ’spoiler’ frontal.

Skoda se preparando para o ano que vem

O carro deverá estrear-se somente na segunda prova do IRC 2010, que será realizada aqui no Brasil.
