Kopija Lexusa je po mojem samo fotošopana slika in morda pobožna želja, izgleda preveč dobro, da bi ga sestavil Xinkai. Mogoče obstaja kak derivat Isuzuja TF z lexusovimi lučmi, pa so si sposodili kar sliko od Lexusa...

Tisti "bolj originalni" pick-up ima luči ukradene od kitajskega C2, če se ne motim.

Na Bologna motor show je debitirala še ena italijanska firma - DR Automobili. Predstavili so lastni terenec poimenovan DR3 (3 vratna verzija) in DR5 (petvratnik). Zelo domisleno, zelo... Land Rover. Že sam dizajn ni ravno originalen - vidno je, da so se avtorji odkrito in obilno zgledovali po prejšnjem RAV 4. Zanimiva (in razlog, zakaj o DR pišem v tej temi) je pa predvsem sama izdelava. Karoserijo namreč izdelujejo na Kitajskem, potem jo pripeljejo v Italijo, kjer jo posadijo na platformo in vgradijo Fiatov 1.9 M-jet z 120 KM. Voila! Še ščepec Vegete in kitajsko/italijanski SUV je pripravljen.
Prodaja se začne marca. Začetna cena naj bi se gibala okrog 16.000 EUR.

Me zanima, katera banka je lastnikom odobrila posojilo za začetek poslovanja...

SHANGHAI, China — Chery has announced that it will supply 200 armored Eastar and Tiggo3 cars to Southern African company Sateh Afrique. The commercial firm, which deals with telecommunications, reportedly found Chery on the Internet when looking for bulletproof car suppliers and chose it over European competitors.

The Chinese automaker Chery has made its ambitions for global expansion well-known. Its armored business is a new mass-production program that started in April, and the company has already supplied the armored Tiggo3 and Eastar cars in Brazil.

Chery has huge plans for hybrids in 2008 and beyond

During a recent international renewable energy forum in Beijing, Liu Zhijia, Assistant General Manager of Chery, said by 2010 half of Chery's vehicles will be hybrids and half of those hybrids will run on clean fuels. Here is exactly what he said:

New energy is a driving force for the sustainable development of auto industry, by 2010 more than fifty percent vehicles produced by Chery will be equipped with hybrid systems, and half of those vehicles will be powered by new energy.
Yin Tongyao, Chery's chief executive has said Chery "will reach annual sales of 1 million autos by 2010." That would translate to annual sales of 500,000 hybrids a year from Chery. For comparison, the total U.S sales for hybrids for 2006 was 254,545. Will Chinese hybrids flood the U.S market? Not right away. Chery does not intend to enter the US market for four years.

At the forum, Liu also said the hybrid development plan will have three phases. The first step has mild hybrid sedans starting production in 2008 which means that overall emissions from Chery vehicles will be reduced between 10 and 30 percent. The second phase is the development and mass production of full hybrids and electric/alcohol vehicles by 2010. That's when Chery expects half of its sales to come from hybrids. The final phase is the development of fuel cells cars by 2015.

The Chinese vice-minister for science and technology, Cao Jianlin, was also at the forum and he said the government will provide funding and tax breaks as part of a government plan to encourage green technology. Chinese auto makers Shanghai Automotive and FAW has also shown interest in hybrid technology. The future of Chinese hybrids looks bright.

4-Door Coupe Concept Car is designed,according to the "costomer requirement centralizing" philosophy, to satisfy the needs of young white collars and well-to-do families,it combines the genes of obstinate and unruly 2-Door coupe and comfortable sedan,to form a car that full of sportive characters,and to give satisfaction sufficient to meet the demand for rear seat space and acessibility.

Advanced Hybrid Electric Vehicle:It has been designed as a crossover multipurpose city car,its design philosophy is to annotate audaciously the future urbanity. AHEV is a car not only with avant-garde styling and exquisite trims,but also with abundant high-techs adopted. Especially,among these high-techs,the GEM(GAC Electro-Magnetic)hybrid system is independently developed and patented by GAC(Guangzhou Automobile Group Co,,LTD),which provides an unique"fun-for-drive/ride"feeling,while guaranteeing excellent characteristics of fuel economy,performance,handling and environmental protection.

Advanced Electric Vehicle:it is another tentative made by GAC for R&D and applications of automotive new energy sources and new technologies.and one of the achievements jointly made by GAEI(GAC Automotive Engineering Institute)and Wanxing Group EV Company,based on the R&D results of foregone projects carried out such as "technical platform for PEV powertrain",The main purpose of making AEV is to verify the consistency.among the requirements of zero emission and extra low noise of EVs,and other practicabillity and safety requirements of mass-produced cars, Therefore, AEV is an in-service-use oriented prototype for technical validation.
