Baby, it's cold outside! Vehicle take beating, but don't skate yet - Tri-City Herald

Posted: 09 Dec 2009 08:09 AM PST

Frigid temperatures across the Mid-Columbia created havoc for motorists, Ben Franklin Transit vehicles and others Tuesday as the area braced for a cold snap expected to continue through the week.

Extreme cold also damaged some HVAC coils at West Richland's Enterprise Middle School, where district officials canceled class following a power outage early Tuesday.

School is expected to be back in session today unless there's more extensive damage than initially thought, officials said.

Benton County Emergency Management also is asking people who live near the Yakima River to monitor water levels, as ice has formed in several stretches from Benton City to West Richland.

Officials also warned against venturing onto the ice, and to be especially watchful of children. "The ice is nowhere thick enough to withstand the weight of a small child," said spokeswoman Elizabeth Smith.

Single-digit temperatures Tuesday morning took a toll on Ben Franklin Transit vehicles, causing one to stall along a street in south Richland that was taking students to school. And a second bus sent to pick up the passengers also broke down.

"It was a weird thing," said Jerry Otto, transit's fleet manager. "A first for us."

The first bus stalled as the driver kept on the emergency brake to let passengers board, and the air dryer -- which helps take moisture out of the air system in the bus -- froze, he said. The driver couldn't move the emergency brake because the air pressure was too low, Otto said.

A replacement bus encountered the same problem while passengers were getting into it, he said. And a maintenance truck sent out to help couldn't start its air compressor, forcing the transit agency to send another bus and truck to the scene along Bellerive Drive.

The transit vehicles already had gone through a winter prep, Otto said. As part of winter bus maintenance routine, crews used a special additive to prevent the diesel fuel from gelling, he said.

But the transit is taking extra steps to make sure the extreme temperatures don't cause more problems, said Christy Watts, transit's marketing and customer service supervisor.

From now on, crews also will inject alcohol in the air systems in the buses and start the buses about 4 a.m. to warm them up for their daily trips, she said.

Drivers also were taking precautions, as the National Weather Service predicts high temperatures will not get out of the 20s until the weekend, when there is a chance of snow. Low temperatures this morning and tonight are expected in the single digits.

Dave Lownds understand the hazards of extreme cold on autos. The Kennewick resident takes care of his own car, and he was at Schuck's/O'Reilly Auto Parts in downtown Kennewick on Tuesday to buy an additive that removes water from the fuel system to prevent his gas line from freezing up.

"I probably don't need it. But it's preventive medicine," Lownds said.

But other Tri-City drivers were caught unprepared in getting their vehicles winter-ready, said Cassie Devaney of AAA. In the last seven days, the number of service requests by AAA members in the Tri-Cities has gone up 25 percent, she said.

"It's mostly about dead batteries," she said.

Cold puts a lot of pressure on car batteries, said Kevin Goodsel, manager at Tri-Cities Battery. A lot of customers reported problems in starting their vehicles, Goodsel said.

Tri-Cities Battery, which has locations in Kennewick, Pasco and Richland, has seen "a dramatic increase" in battery-related complaints in the last two days, keeping employees busy, he said.

"Nobody took a lunch break Monday," he said.

His technicians also found "a lot of bad cables and bad thermostats." A bad thermostat either won't let an engine heat up, or causes it to overheat, Goodsel said.

Cold can sometimes also cause problems with lubrication of bearings and potentially can heat up a cable, said Don Webb, inside sales manager at AAW Auto Parts in Pasco. His business, which services both wholesale and retail customers, has been busy selling alternators, starters, batteries, water pumps and car heaters. There's definitely an uptick because of the cold weather, he said.

At Schuck's/O'Reilly Auto Parts in downtown Kennewick, customers have been coming to buy batteries, antifreeze, a chemical which helps lower the freezing point and to raise the boiling point of the radiator fluids, radiator hoses, windshield de-icers and fuel additives, said store manger Dave Martin.

Mike Harvey, owner of A-Z Towing & Auto Repair in Kennewick, said he's also seen an increase in business because of the cold spell. It's either a dead battery or people locking themselves out of their vehicles after going out to start them and warm them up, Harvey said.

"Just listen to your car. It'll tell you when it's not happy, " advises Goodsel of Tri-Cities Battery.

Most auto supply stores do some free basic car inspections, which Goodsel and Martin recommend to customers. It's about being prepared, they said.

Consumers also have been rushing to buy heaters, winter wear, gloves, hand warmers, heat tape, and more winter necessities at Grigg's Department Store in Pasco, said Charlie Grigg, vice president of the company.

That occurs every year with the onset of cold weather, he said. And consumers also will be looking for ice-melters and shovels when the first snow falls, he said.

VW to boost Indian presence with Suzuki stake - France 24

Posted: 09 Dec 2009 08:31 AM PST

AFP - The German car giant Volkswagen will buy nearly 20 percent of Japan's Suzuki for more than 2.5 billion dollars, giving VW a solid footprint in the Indian automarket, the companies said Wednesday.

Europe's biggest car maker, which hopes to unseat world leader Toyota, already has a strong presence in China but wants to expand its Asian reach in an alliance with the Japanese compact car manufacturer.

Suzuki said the 19.9-percent stake is worth about 222.5 billion yen (2.53 billion dollars, 1.72 billion euros) and that it "intends to invest up to one half of the amount received from Volkswagen into shares of Volkswagen."

The deal, set for January, comes as the battered auto industry restructures, with new alliances forming to share green technology and small car designs while extending their global reach through combined sales networks.

PSA Peugeot Citroen of France has been in talks with Mitsubishi, and the partners Renault and Nissan have said they would launch "an ultra low-cost car" in India in 2012 to take on Tata's Nano.

Tokyo-based auto analyst Tatsuya Mizuno at Mizuno Credit Advisory said "the (VW/Sukuki) alliance may accelerate a reshuffle" in the industry.

The global auto industry is entering a new phase where strong offers of small, environmentally friendly cars will be important, Mizuno said.

"For VW, Suzuki is attractive as Suzuki is strong in small car businesses in developing countries, in particular India," he added.

The two companies said they "plan a joint approach to the growing worldwide demand for more environmentally friendly vehicles."

They "concluded that the complementary strengths of each company make for a perfect fit in exploiting their respective advantages as well as rising to the challenge of the global market."

VW chairman Martin Winterkorn told a Tokyo news conference: "Suzuki is a world leader in the compact and sub-compact car segment, and Suzuki is one of the world's leading motorcycle manufacturers."

"The company is very strong in Japan and Southeast Asia and Suzuki-Multi is by far the number one car maker on the Indian market."

The Japanese company's chairman, Osamu Suzuki, praised VW's "exquisite advanced technologies" and strong positions in Europe, South America and China.

"Suzuki, on the other hand, has the advantage in manufacturing low-cost compact cars," he added in a statement.

Investors approved the deal, and VW shares gained 1.04 percent to 79.71 euros in afternoon trading on the Frankfurt stock exchange, while the DAX index of German blue-chips was 0.32 percent lower overall.

Tokyo markets were closed when the deal was announced.

General Motors pulled out of Suzuki last year as the US auto giant veered towards bankruptcy, ending an alliance that started in 1981.

Mizuno said that "after ending its alliance with GM, Suzuki needed to find a strong partner in order to survive tough competition in the global market."

For VW, the agreement is another step in its plan to overtake Toyota as the world's biggest automaker by 2018.

"Eight to 10 years from now, we want to become number one in the world, and I believe that we'll be able to accelerate that into happening with cooperation with Suzuki," Winterkorn said.

Suzuki said his company sought to become an "equal partner" with the German automaker, not one of the brands owned by it.

NordLB auto analyst Frank Schwope told AFP VW could still end up owning Suzuki "but in the long term, in at least five years."

In the meantime, IHS Global Insight analyst Christoph Stuermer advised VW not to press too hard.

"Several European groups that were too agressive had problems in Japan," he warned.

VW has just bought 49.9 percent of the German luxury sports car maker Porsche and will take it over by 2011, making Porsche its 10th brand.

The head of VW's supervisory board, Ferdinand Piech, has said he sees VW eventually owning 12 brands, and the group is also interested in the German heavy-vehicle maker MAN which could complement its Swedish truck unit Scania.

Commerzbank analysts worried the Porsche purchase might cause VW "to lose sight of its priorities." VW must increase its productivity, which remains below that of Toyota, the analysts advised.

LATEST NEWS!! Cemtrex Sees Growth Opportunities from EPA Ruling on Greenhouse Gases FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Dec 09, 2009 -- Cemtrex Inc. (OTC: CTEI) is very optimistic about growth opportunities resulting from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) long-anticipated ruling on December 7 that greenhouse gases threaten public health, and the administration shall regulate smokestack and tailpipe emissions of greenhouse gases. Any new legislation from EPA could force the automotive industry and the utilities that burn coal, oil and natural gas to take drastic steps and cut their emissions. These regulations shall commence the process of requiring them to spend billions of dollars on technologies and systems to slash greenhouse gas emissions including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides.

Some experts believe that the EPA ruling, coming near the start of the international climate change conference now underway in Copenhagen, Denmark, signals to other conference participants that the U.S.A. can now control emissions whether or not the Congress imposes any legislative limits.

"These EPA regulations shall now regulate millions of carbon dioxide emitters, ranging from office buildings to hospitals that burn natural gas for heating and coal mines that discharge methane into the atmosphere," said Mr. Arun Govil, CEO & President of Cemtrex Inc. "This would give a tremendous boost to our energy efficiency products that lower energy usage, such as green-DCV and MCDR units that capture methane from coal mines to generate heat and create carbon credits," continued Mr. Govil.

"Preliminary pilot plant tests on our carbon capture technology for power plants have shown tremendous promise," said Mr. Metodi Filipov, Vice President of Cemtrex Inc. "We are conducting further tests and are confident that we can soon have a viable carbon capture technology that would only add no more than 2 cents per kilowatt-hour to the cost of power generation," continued Mr. Filipov.

Cemtrex Inc. is a worldwide market leader in manufacturing and selling the most advanced instruments for emission monitoring of particulate, opacity, mercury, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc. and filtration products for the industry. Cemtrex also markets Green DCV, an innovative energy efficiency solution for high-quality green building applications, through optimizing HVAC control systems. Cemtrex provides technologies and services for abatement of greenhouse gases pursuant to the Kyoto protocol and assists customers in creating and selling carbon credits from such projects.
