| Dealers should get 'Clunkers' money by Sept. 30 - Marin Independent Journal Posted: 03 Sep 2009 08:48 AM PDT WASHINGTON—The government says it has approved $500 million in reimbursements to auto dealers for car sales under the Cash for Clunkers program. A Transportation official says more than 15 percent of the submissions from dealers have been approved. The car rebate program ended on Aug. 24 and dealers have complained that the government has been slow to reimburse them for the incentives of up to $4,500 per vehicle. The official said that all eligible and completed dealer submissions should be fully paid by Sept. 30. The car rebates led to 690,114 new sales at a taxpayer cost of $2.88 billion. The government is ramping up staff and 5,000 workers will be reviewing paperwork by the end of next week.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Mercedes to sell Sprinter vans through its own stores - Autoweek.com Posted: 03 Sep 2009 07:44 AM PDT Mercedes-Benz USA is getting back into the commercial-van business Jan. 1 and will appoint up to 120 dealers to sell Sprinter vehicles. That means Mercedes will yank the Sprinter from nearly 350 Dodge dealers who now carry the van. The vans will be sold by the newly created Daimler Vans USA, which is sharing headquarters with the car division here. Contracts will be terminated by Jan. 1 with the nearly 350 Dodge dealers who sell most of Daimler's Sprinter vans in the United States. The Dodge version of the Sprinter will be discontinued, said Ernst Lieb, CEO of MB USA. Dodge has been selling the Sprinter since 2003. About 45 Freightliner dealers who have the Sprinter franchise will continue to sell the Sprinter as a Freightliner, Lieb said. Beginning in 2010, Sprinters sold by Mercedes dealers in the United States and Canada will be branded as Mercedes vehicles. In January, the Sprinter will be launched with a 3.0-liter, V-6 common-rail diesel that currently is used in the Mercedes M and GL SUVs and sold in all 50 states. Freightliner or Dodge When Daimler launched the Sprinter in the United States in 2001, it was branded either a Freightliner or a Dodge because U.S. buyers didn't know the vehicle, said Lieb. "It has now established itself," he said. Claus Tritt has been appointed general manager of the new van unit. He previously worked at the van division for the now-defunct DaimlerChrysler in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Sprinter is assembled at a semi-knockdown factory in Ladsen, S.C., which has a capacity of 32,000 units a year, said Tritt. Freightliner dealers who also handle Daimler's commercial vehicles in the United States have a separate Sprinter franchise. They account for about 30 percent of Sprinter sales. That means U.S. Mercedes dealers could sell about 18,000 Sprinters annually. Lieb said Mercedes will approach dealers about taking the Sprinter franchise "based on their potential in the market." Said Lieb: "We are dealing with a product that has been sold for nine years here, so we know where it sells best and in what market we can pinpoint where we need a dealer."
Dodge dealership impact Dodge Sprinter sales peaked in 2006, when Dodge sold 21,961 units. Dodge sold 14,600 in 2008. Earl Hesterberg, chairman of Houston-based Group 1 Automotive, said the departure of the Sprinter would hurt revenue on at least one of his company's eight Chrysler stores: Rancho Chrysler Jeep Dodge in San Diego, which does a large business servicing them. "It will create a challenge for us at at least one of our dealerships due to lost parts and service business," he said. However, Hesterberg said sales of Sprinters have been slow because big customers such as FedEx and DHL buy their vehicles directly from Chrysler, and there has been no financing available for small-business owners in need of such a van. "They had the proper configuration of vehicle, which is the walk-in box, and they had a diesel engine with automatic transmission," he said. "DHL, Fed Ex and UPS have committed to that configuration." Chrysler's new management team, headed by Sergio Marchionne, who is also CEO of Fiat, is studying the idea of bringing Fiat-based commercial vehicles into North America to fill the hole left by the Sprinter's departure. The Sprinter is sold only in Dodge dealerships that have a franchise called BusinessLink. Those dealerships have special tools and service bays equipped to service the Sprinter and other Dodge commercial vehicles. About 80 percent of Sprinters are sold east of the Mississippi River, said Daimler's Tritt. The average dealer would have to invest $30,000 to $50,000 in the Sprinter franchise and put up a sign, dedicate service and sales personnel and purchase some special tools and equipment, said Lieb. Mercedes would not require a separate facility for the display of Sprinters, but they won't be on the showroom floor with passenger cars or light trucks. Dealers can dedicate part of their outside lots, and "it could be a roofed area--that is how we did it in other countries," said Lieb. Lieb said he will lay out the van plan to potential dealers in early October. They will be asked to stay an extra day after a regular dealer meeting in Denver. Sprinter U.S. sales 2001 -- 1,893 2002 -- 2,970 2003 -- 7,150 2004 -- 15,280 2005 -- 23,655 2006 -- 25,694 2007 -- 19,589 2008 -- 18,282 * Source: Daimler Van USA LLC For more Car news, road tests, photos and insight, click here.

| Reportlinker Adds Alternative Fuels Advisor 2008 Review Report - CNBC Posted: 03 Sep 2009 08:48 AM PDT NEW YORK, Sept 03, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue. Alternative Fuels Advisor 2008 Review http://www.reportlinker.com/p0109205/Alternative-Fuels-Advisor-2008-Review.html The 2008 Alternative Fuels Advisor Review is a compilation of articles by topical section that appeared in the 2008 bi-monthly issues of AltFuels Advisor. AltFuels Advisor provides industry news and technical developments on information and business opportunities related to renewable fuels, biofuels, natural gas, propane, hydrogen, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cells, plug-ins and other forms of alternative energy. This review provides a summary of the news trends and events in 2008 driving the development, production and use of alternative fuels for all types of vehicles and supplies of energy. Topics highlighted in this News Review include: Trends in biofuels such as advancements in algae, emerging feedstocks and the impact of genome sequencing Various waste-to-energy projects including landfill-to-biogas, municipal solid waste to ethanol and biogas from chicken manure Environmental issues surrounding the use of alternative fuels Advancements in the use of propane and natural gas for energy and transportation segments Technological progress in hydrogen extraction, storage and transport The review also includes sections examining administrative issues and industry structure. Trends in investments and geographical considerations are summarized. Effects of worldwide governmental policy and regulation are examined in detail. Non-fossil energy use in the U.S. is growing rapidly, but fossil fuel will still be providing 79% of the U.S. total energy in 2030. From now through 2030, nuclear power will hold more or less steady. The same can be said for coal and natural gas, making liquid biofuels and the renewables (excluding liquid biofuels) the largest new entry. Energy use per dollar of U.S. gross domestic product will continue to decline from now through 2030. The per capita energy use in the U.S. also will decline. The net dependence of the U.S. on imported fossil fuel liquids will decline over the next 20 years. Consumption of fossil fuel liquids will fall slightly and domestic supply will increase. The petroleum based liquids consumption is projected to be flat and biofuels use will grow from now through 2030. Biofuels will continue to make substantial gains and the transportation sectors consumption will hold steady at about 22 million barrels per day from 2008 to 2030.
