"For example, to communicate with colleagues at the office in the car, write e-mails, surf the Internet or relax and watch a movie."</p><p>Tesla, Alphabet Inc.'s Waymo, and others have pursued autonomous driving technology for years.

However, the UK is the fourth largest market for BMW.</p><p>While he said it was too early to say whether the no-deal tariffs would affect the long-term future of the Oxford plant, Peter said BMW was "positioned flexibly" on the production of Mini.</p><p>The company also had options to expand production in Germany and China, he said, where it is developing an electric version of the car.</p><p>The group, which also owns Rolls-Royce, recently announced that it will move part of Mini production from the Netherlands to Leipzig, Germany. Peter said BMW "did not participate" in the negotiations between the EU and the UK, but hoped "that a reasonable solution will eventually be found".</p>Avionalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16377605438173869985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-29359128960778622232020-12-10T18:08:00.007-06:002020-12-10T18:08:42.828-06:00Airbus A350-900 of Cathay Pacific Takeoff<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fdKz7kgtCrI/X9K4XSmZnzI/AAAAAAAADbA/1z5Z-gy20eYRfIPa_pbliayGzJYI0hNhACLcBGAsYHQ/s1896/cathay_pacific_a350-900_takeoff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1256" data-original-width="1896" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fdKz7kgtCrI/X9K4XSmZnzI/AAAAAAAADbA/1z5Z-gy20eYRfIPa_pbliayGzJYI0hNhACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/cathay_pacific_a350-900_takeoff.jpg" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"> Airbus A350-900 of Cathay Pacific Takeoff</h2><p></p>Avionalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16377605438173869985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-84667853979345364322020-11-30T00:16:00.006-06:002020-11-30T00:16:57.736-06:00Kuwait Airways Airbus A320neo November 2020 Delivery<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Opm3gHzAKI8/X8SOI79zxrI/AAAAAAAADaY/iAGBfRVOwMQS86XpwQV1AufWmdtPZwn0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1900/kuwait_airways_a320neo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1238" data-original-width="1900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Opm3gHzAKI8/X8SOI79zxrI/AAAAAAAADaY/iAGBfRVOwMQS86XpwQV1AufWmdtPZwn0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/kuwait_airways_a320neo.jpg" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"> Kuwait Airways Airbus A320neo November 2020 Delivery</h2><p></p>Avionalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16377605438173869985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-92055779878622117822020-11-09T21:48:00.000-06:002020-11-09T21:48:05.298-06:00Cargojet Airways Boeing 727-200 Taxiing Runway<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lcixzXeooxM/X6oNJbj9AwI/AAAAAAAADZ0/35nyx2fQyeQQtmXQHq4VmOS4XKB2yIVKACLcBGAsYHQ/s1182/cargojet-airways-boeing-727-200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="776" data-original-width="1182" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lcixzXeooxM/X6oNJbj9AwI/AAAAAAAADZ0/35nyx2fQyeQQtmXQHq4VmOS4XKB2yIVKACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/cargojet-airways-boeing-727-200.jpg" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"> Cargojet Airways Boeing 727-200 Taxiing Runway</h2><p></p>Avionalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16377605438173869985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-40335381874744368842020-10-19T01:20:00.001-05:002020-10-19T01:20:13.207-05:00American Airlines A321neo October 2020 Delivery<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EL9pGmSfegA/X40v4Ut-AOI/AAAAAAAADZI/9VZ_apqqFvMf5zGBTFpoOZmUEXcEjRtugCLcBGAsYHQ/s1968/a321neo-american-airlines.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1163" data-original-width="1968" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EL9pGmSfegA/X40v4Ut-AOI/AAAAAAAADZI/9VZ_apqqFvMf5zGBTFpoOZmUEXcEjRtugCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/a321neo-american-airlines.jpg" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"> American Airlines A321neo October 2020 Delivery</h2><p></p>Avionalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16377605438173869985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-13285270723712443632020-10-15T00:03:00.005-05:002020-10-15T00:03:21.694-05:00Etihad Boeing 787-10 Taxiing Runway<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vjr5Jeh_LNg/X4fX6mowd1I/AAAAAAAADY0/XYARt_r4XNc-4qJEO_af3c8YR4VQNSv_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1190/etihad-boeing-787-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="790" data-original-width="1190" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vjr5Jeh_LNg/X4fX6mowd1I/AAAAAAAADY0/XYARt_r4XNc-4qJEO_af3c8YR4VQNSv_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/etihad-boeing-787-10.jpg" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"> Etihad Boeing 787-10 Taxiing Runway</h2><p></p>Avionalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16377605438173869985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-58697506780531002372020-10-09T19:41:00.005-05:002020-10-09T19:41:40.234-05:00Lexus Outsells Mercedes and BMW<p>Lexus Outsells Mercedes and BMW.

Mercedes and BMW have been crippled by low inventories as the pandemic closed factories in Europe and the United States for weeks. Lexus saw a 31% increase in September alone, led by its RX, NX crossover and ES sedan. This reduced the declines this year to 13%.</p><p>“Used BMW sales have been very strong; I think it's consuming demand for new cars due to inventory shortages,” said Marc Cohen, vice president of Priority 1 Automotive Group in Maryland, which operates two BMW stores.</p><p>BMW dealers have adapted by selling vehicles that had yet to hit the market to customers and with a skyrocketing increase in rental vehicle sales. After facing a tight inventory in July and August, BMW had a record month in September when it replenished its vehicle supply, said Bernhard Kuhnt, president of BMW's North American division.</p><p>“In September, we had what I would call better inventory levels for the first time,” Kuhnt said over the phone. "For the rest of the year, I'm cautiously optimistic, but certainly a lot more optimistic than I was in March."</p><p>Lexus has overtaken BMW for second place selling for the year to date by 2,105 units, but Mercedes has sold a total of 196,838, an advantage of nearly 15,000 vehicles over Lexus.</p><p>As BMW's ratio of sport utility vehicles to sedans rose to 62.5% in the third quarter, led by the X3 crossover, Mercedes has a new compact SUV, the GLB and other revamped SUVs to take advantage of the move. Americans. sedans to light trucks.</p><p>BMW also had to contend with other headwinds. Last month, the company agreed to pay the Securities and Exchange Commission $ 18 million to resolve allegations it gave investors misleading information about retail sales.

Further, however, this means that current combustion models will expand their introduction of plug-in hybrid, closed-loop hybrid and mild hybrid electric assistance.</p><p>While manuals and hybrids aren't impossible to integrate, add Mercedes' future focus on self-driving vehicles and it's not hard to see why the manual is on time borrowed.</p><p>In an effort to reduce the company's overhead costs, Mercedes-Benz will consolidate its platform lineup and reduce its combustion engine lineup. These changes will be explained in more detail in the future.</p><p>The full scope of Schaefer's comments is focused on reducing product complexity as a means of cutting costs, as the UK publication Autocar reports.</p><p>“Complexity adds costs. We will reduce future products, drastically reduce platforms, combustion engines will be drastically reduced, and we will eliminate manual transmission. "Schaefer said.</p><p>"We are moving towards a more modular strategy and we will drastically reduce the number of options."</p><p>In its current lineup, Mercedes-Benz Cars still offers a six-speed manual transmission in the base variants of the C-Class, B-Class, A-Class and CLA in international markets, but has not extended the option to cars. such as GLA. . and GLB SUV.</p><p>Larger models have only been automatic for a while, and the E-Class was the last to drop its manual option overseas in 2018.</p><p>Locally, the entire Mercedes-Benz passenger lineup is reserved for cars, with the latest generation SLK / SLC roadster being the last to offer the option.</p><p>While the manuals have survived on brands like Porsche and BMW for enthusiast models, Mercedes-Benz has not followed suit and kept its high-performance AMG lineup for cars only.</p><p>The impact on commercial vehicles is, for the moment, less clear.</p><p>While the vans division shares key components such as engines and transmissions with the passenger car lineup, the popularity of manual vans in the European market could lead to a temporary suspension of performance.</p><p>Locally, a spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles suggested that the automation acceptance rate was around 90%. The current lineup of utility vehicles, Vito, Sprinter and X-Class, offer a choice of manual or automatic transmission, depending on specification.</p>Aeronefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14567922531641685716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-83422181707822697902020-10-08T01:22:00.004-05:002020-10-08T01:22:27.870-05:00Vistara Airbus A320neo From Below<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Porsche is rolling out a cheaper subscription plan in four US cities as the German automaker experiments with different prices and products in an attempt to expand its customer base.</p><p>Porsche now has three blueprints or levels, all of which are housed as part of its new Porsche Drive vehicle subscription program. This new plan, called the Porsche Drive Single Vehicle Subscription, sits between two other existing tiers.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DZsQ4piRHGY/X0cCLYQBsQI/AAAAAAAADV8/ewd8Pw3OH7MbD1YngSnYNAcVZ76c_VgzQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1468/porsche-911-turbo-s-2021-silverstone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="porsche 911 turbo s 2021 silverstone" border="0" data-original-height="811" data-original-width="1468" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DZsQ4piRHGY/X0cCLYQBsQI/AAAAAAAADV8/ewd8Pw3OH7MbD1YngSnYNAcVZ76c_VgzQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/porsche-911-turbo-s-2021-silverstone.jpg" title="porsche 911 turbo s 2021 silverstone" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">Porsche to Expand Market by Pricing Experiments</h2><p>The strongest plan is Porsche Drive - Multi-Vehicle Subscription, which offers customers the ability to trade in a variety of vehicles on a monthly basis. The multi-vehicle plan costs $ 2,100 or $ 3,100 per month, depending on whether the customer wants access to their high-performance models like the 911. Then there's Porsche Drive - Rental, which, as the name suggests, offers short-term rentals. The rental price is vehicle dependent and starts at around $ 245 per day for the Macan up to $ 2,415 for weekly 911 use.</p><p>The new single-vehicle plan is cheaper than the multi-vehicle plan, but that doesn't mean it's cheap. The single vehicle plan starts at $ 1,500 per month for the Macan and goes up to $ 2,600 per month for the Porsche 911. All plans require a $ 595 activation fee, unless it is from the customer. You commit to the single vehicle plan for at least three months.</p><p>In particular, no amount of money will allow customers to access the all-electric Porsche Taycan. This is the only vehicle that is not available on any of the plans.</p><p>This mid-tier vehicle subscription program will be offered to customers in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Diego. Customers who opt for this plan will have access to a single Porsche model for one to three months, starting September 25. Like other Porsche Drive programs, the monthly plan fee for a vehicle covers the vehicle, delivery, insurance and service.</p><p>The subscription program, formerly known as Passport, first launched in 2017 in Atlanta. During the pilot, the average subscription was around four months. The most common reason customers suspended their memberships was due to extended travel plans, according to the company. The initial goal was to create a new clientele of Porsche owners by offering a flexible product. This sparked enough interest for Porsche to extend the program to several other major US markets, such as Phoenix and San Diego. You are now entering Los Angeles.</p><p>“If California were a country, it would be our fifth largest market in the world. After bringing Porsche Drive to San Diego last summer, Los Angeles was an obvious choice for customers to experience a variety of Porsche sports cars and SUVs with the touch of an app. Now, in addition to our Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles tour, Los Angeles residents or those visiting Los Angeles have another way to enjoy a Porsche, "said Klaus Zellmer, PCNA President and CEO.</p><p>Porsche contends that the data shows that the underwriting program was successful. The company said 80% of attendees were new to Porsche, many were younger than the average age of current Porsche buyers or renters, and more than a third had signed up for at least four months. Porsche said it has added the single vehicle option to the database showing that some members prefer to stay with one model rather than switch vehicles.</p>Avionalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16377605438173869985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-44848474095973728092020-08-19T03:42:00.001-05:002020-08-19T03:42:15.296-05:00AirBridgeCargo Boeing 777F August 2020 Delivery<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lNCCHQwowRY/XzzliLcP1sI/AAAAAAAADVg/_ErDsXNhFMkwsZPG8Xa8ZYuSpUqsKOTwgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1186/airbridgecargo-boeing-777f-august-2020-delivery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="AirBridgeCargo Boeing 777F August 2020 Delivery" border="0" data-original-height="579" data-original-width="1186" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lNCCHQwowRY/XzzliLcP1sI/AAAAAAAADVg/_ErDsXNhFMkwsZPG8Xa8ZYuSpUqsKOTwgCLcBGAsYHQ/d/airbridgecargo-boeing-777f-august-2020-delivery.jpg" title="AirBridgeCargo Boeing 777F August 2020 Delivery" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"> AirBridgeCargo Boeing 777F August 2020 Delivery</h2><p></p>Avionalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16377605438173869985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-81458604918315757512020-08-12T20:57:00.004-05:002020-08-12T20:57:18.876-05:00Airbus A350-900 French Bee August 2020 Delivery<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OVoJOAiVsjs/XzSdzYcwfbI/AAAAAAAADVI/ydfgDwZuNIsaRoqPZhGG-WGBYpoqJLQigCLcBGAsYHQ/s1571/airbus-a350-900-french-bee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Airbus A350-900 French Bee August 2020 Delivery" border="0" data-original-height="781" data-original-width="1571" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OVoJOAiVsjs/XzSdzYcwfbI/AAAAAAAADVI/ydfgDwZuNIsaRoqPZhGG-WGBYpoqJLQigCLcBGAsYHQ/d/airbus-a350-900-french-bee.jpg" title="Airbus A350-900 French Bee August 2020 Delivery" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"> Airbus A350-900 French Bee August 2020 Delivery</h2><p></p>Avionalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16377605438173869985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-88153480412115866822020-08-04T19:34:00.002-05:002020-08-04T19:34:40.710-05:00Airbus A320neo Lufthansa August 2020 Delivery<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rmImK_7Ai-M/Xyn9QZgG7SI/AAAAAAAADUc/n3oCGXVxfLAdI8A_a2Mptj04oRkfG0i7wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1181/a320neo-lufthansa-august-2020-delivery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Airbus A320neo Lufthansa August 2020 Delivery" border="0" data-original-height="779" data-original-width="1181" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rmImK_7Ai-M/Xyn9QZgG7SI/AAAAAAAADUc/n3oCGXVxfLAdI8A_a2Mptj04oRkfG0i7wCLcBGAsYHQ/d/a320neo-lufthansa-august-2020-delivery.jpg" title="Airbus A320neo Lufthansa August 2020 Delivery" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Airbus A320neo Lufthansa August 2020 Delivery</b></div>Avionalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16377605438173869985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-84090657042297918922020-06-23T18:51:00.000-05:002020-06-23T18:51:30.311-05:00Airbus A320neo Indigo June 2020 Delivery<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XvQwI81wbBg/XvKVVo2VHiI/AAAAAAAADSA/7w4XqDCdOmAIvMiTz6uWXyewvpupzqe9ACK4BGAsYHg/s1898/a320neo-indigo-june-2020-delivery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Airbus A320neo Indigo June 2020 Delivery" border="0" data-original-height="1256" data-original-width="1898" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XvQwI81wbBg/XvKVVo2VHiI/AAAAAAAADSA/7w4XqDCdOmAIvMiTz6uWXyewvpupzqe9ACK4BGAsYHg/d/a320neo-indigo-june-2020-delivery.jpg" title="Airbus A320neo Indigo June 2020 Delivery" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><h2>Airbus A320neo Indigo June 2020 Delivery</h2></div>Avionalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16377605438173869985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737217808090823022.post-342810713119427422020-06-19T19:35:00.001-05:002020-06-19T19:35:57.904-05:00Suzuki Maruti Urged Suppliers to Get Ready for Second Wave of Covid<span class="tlid-translation translation" lang="en">Suzuki Maruti Urged Suppliers to Get Ready for Second Wave of Covid.
